?A New Era of Customer Engagement: Slack
Historically, email was the primary medium for B2B customer support, allowing businesses to address concerns only when the need arose. The web widget then followed suit, providing real-time support right from the product interface. Though handy, these tools often operated in isolation, lacking the advantage of continuous, open dialogue.
Enter Slack – a platform that's more than just real-time messaging. With Slack, businesses can open dedicated channels with their customers, creating an avenue for ongoing conversation, collaboration, and connection. Think of it as having a virtual conference room, where feedback flows freely, content is shared with enthusiasm, and issues are resolved collaboratively.

With diverse channels available, there arises a challenge: how do you monitor, triage, and respond to every customer request without getting overwhelmed? That’s where Thena excels. Powered by cutting-edge AI, it seamlessly brings all customer communications from different channels into Slack.
Once messages are collected, Thena's AI springs into action, identifying those that require immediate attention. These are then routed as notifications to a designated Slack channel. But these aren’t just any notifications. Designed with precision and intelligence, each alert highlights the sentiment and urgency, and even categorizes them based on predefined rules, ensuring they reach the right teams without delay.
