When we first launched Chatbase, we knew that creating powerful, adaptable chatbots was just the beginning.
To truly empower businesses and streamline communication, we needed to connect those chatbots to the platforms where your audiences are most active. That’s why we started building our multichannel integration features.
Over time, we’ve added Slack, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram—some of the most widely used communication apps globally.
From Slack to WhatsApp, Messenger, and now Instagram, our commitment has always been to enable your chatbots to meet your customers wherever they are.
Why Multichannel Integration Matters
Your customers expect fast, convenient, and personalized interactions. With so many communication channels available, businesses can no longer afford to be present on just one platform.
Meeting your audience where they already spend their time is crucial to maintaining strong relationships, and this is where multichannel integration plays a key role.
By offering your AI chatbot on platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Slack, you're not only expanding your reach but also providing users with the convenience of interacting through their preferred channels.
Whether it's answering inquiries, assisting with purchases, or even automating internal tasks, multichannel chatbots ensure that businesses are available to respond instantly—across various touchpoints. This flexibility leads to improved customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Let’s take a closer look at how each of these platform integrations can boost your business and improve customer or team interactions.
With over two billion active users, WhatsApp is a global powerhouse when it comes to messaging apps. By integrating your chatbot with WhatsApp, you can provide instant, personalized responses to customer inquiries, resolve issues quickly, and even automate appointment scheduling or order confirmations. This is especially beneficial for businesses operating in regions like Europe, Latin America, and parts of Africa and Asia, where WhatsApp is a primary communication tool. Imagine being able to offer customer support 24/7 without adding extra strain on your team—all through a channel your customers are already using daily.

Instagram isn’t just about sharing photos anymore; it’s a vibrant platform for customer engagement, especially for e-commerce brands. With Chatbase's integration, businesses can use their chatbot to respond directly to customers’ DMs, providing product recommendations, answering FAQs, or assisting with orders in real-time. The ability to interact with customers while they browse your Instagram shop streamlines the buying process, reduces friction, and enhances user experience. To amplify this engagement, brands can also embed Instagram feed on your website, offering a live, interactive view of their social content. This is key for brands looking to convert casual followers into loyal customers.

Messenger
As one of the most popular messaging apps in the U.S., Facebook Messenger is a go-to for businesses that want to create meaningful connections with their customers. Messenger chatbots can handle everything from customer inquiries to lead generation and appointment setting. For businesses already using Messenger to communicate with clients, the integration of a chatbot provides a seamless way to offer personalized support and automate routine tasks. This means you can keep your customers engaged and satisfied without missing a beat.

Slack
Slack isn’t just for internal business communications anymore. It’s becoming an essential tool for companies to streamline their workflows. By integrating a Chatbase AI chatbot into Slack, your team can automate repetitive tasks like answering FAQs, scheduling meetings, or even managing tasks. This leads to more efficiency, allowing teams to focus on higher-priority projects while the chatbot handles the day-to-day inquiries. Whether it’s for customer-facing or internal team use, Slack’s chatbot integration is a powerful way to boost productivity and collaboration.
