Hey Product Hunt 👋🏻 Your customers hate forms as much as we do. Many products have been trying hard reinventing forms to make it more engaging and human. Today, we have something else that people love – messaging. Collect chat is an interactive chat widget that collects data from your website visitors by asking questions you have scripted - 24/7, fully on auto-pilot. You get an email alert (or a web hook) when a user completes the questions. We strongly believe redirecting "Regular" website visitor to Messenger or any other chatbot platform is a broken user experience, So we made a widget that lives inside your website. Some of our features are - Make user interactions more engaging with beautiful input elements like single/multiple options, date picker, range picker, rating emotion picker etc.. - Build and customise chat widget using simple drag and drop tool. - Install on the website by pasting js code or using WordPress plugin. - Integrate to over 500 apps that are part of your workflow using Zapier. - Powerful data visualisations in collect.chat dashboard helping you to make better business decisions. The best part: Collect.chat is 100% free during Beta (For 2 months) We’d love some feedback and I’m here to answer your questions... Cheers, Shyjal

Got a chance to try this couple of days back. It's like Intercom and Typeform packed into one intuitive widget. Good job @shyjal

Love chatbot that don't live inside fb messenger or slack as the "regular" average customers is still not familiar with special chats like slack (only really popular in the dev/startup community). Good concept to go where the actual customer will be able to use...

Good work! Just sent you an email. Getting some api_error when saving up the zapier integration.

collect.chat will surely replace the traditional chat widgets and forms. because of its cool design most of the visitors will quickly responds to questions. We are actively using and monitoring the performance of this chat widget + vtiger combination. https://www.alleppeyhouseboatclu... https://www.yatramantra.com/kerala/

Hey now. Why you gon do this invention when just aweekago I had a similar idrizzle and added it to my rollydexy of prodrizzle idrizzles?? Did you telepathically hijack the idea from me? If so, impressive. If not, impressive either way :-D Jokes aside, I think it's really clever. Interaction and guided processes are the way of the future. They feel more personal and less aggressive. I can see this as a great alternative to the traditional checkout process. In fact, it might just reinvent it entirely. I'm just wondering.. are you considering to have it integrate with something like Stripe? The demo gif is kind of how I see myself using it. For sales or leads. Another question, is there a possibility to insert yourself live into such an interaction and take it over from the chatbot to communicate with the user right there on the spot? Epic product man!

Collect.chat could be the future of collecting customer data in a convenient and simple way. It have the potential to replace webforms. For the user this is by far the simplest and straightforward 'chat' I have come across. :)

Looks great ! I know it's intended to replace forms, but for us to use it, it would need to replace our current live-chat service. Do you have any plan to add a live chat capability to collect.chat?

I am very excited to see what this company develops in the future, I just wish they had a chat integration with freshdesk as well as trial access to the logical rules and other features.

Pros:

Clean interface, User friendly, easy to install, seems to have great potential.

Cons:

The logical rules(What sells the product for me) is only on paid plans with no trial option.

Collect.chat lets any one create chatbots and install it on websites as a widget. Replace your static forms with an interactive experience.

Wow ! Cool idea 👍🏼

This is really cool stuff man, am gonna try this now.

Did this support in all platforms ? I mean Android, Ios. I was using somechat widget before and it didn't really works well with mobile especially Ios.

This looks rad! I'm going to convert some of my forms from www.onlineform.co and test them out as web chatbots. Great work!

Looks great, well done! Will definitely keep this in mind with future website launches

This is cool. Slick UI/UX. I guess I will try it out soon.

I think it's an awesome tool. Going to check it right now!

I usually don't go into test mode unless I'm clear about the pricing...but this looks impressive. Great user interface for production and customer. and the zapier integration is key here. If the pricing is right I can see myself using Collect.Chat a lot!

Is this just a decision tree or has intelligence?

Seems like a super cool way to replace Typeform to collect data. Congrats on the hunt @shyjal! A question: is it suitable for having actual (non-bot ) conversations with site visitors or it's just to collect their data? For example: use bot to collect some info, and then ping an actual support agent to join the conversation. Also: would love to learn more about your Zapier triggers and actions. Cheers!
