Zoho SalesIQ for Jabber Clients

Free yourself to work from anywhere and unlock your team’s customer supporting potential. Because Zoho SalesIQ is built upon the Jabber chat protocol, an internet-wide standard, you can easily connect and chat with customers from your mobile devices. Even link up to your SalesIQ from popular desktop chat applications, so it is easy for anyone on your team to help out in customer support—with the ability to chat and support customers from the tools you already use throughout the day. Zoho SalesIQ for Jabber clients

Configuring your Zoho SalesIQ for Jabber clients 

Your Zoho SalesIQ will only work in conjunction with Jabber if you have a Zoho user name associated with the account you wish to use. If you only have your login e-mail and not a Zoho user name, you will be unable to configure any device or app to connect to your Zoho SalesIQ through Jabber.

To ensure your account has a Zoho user name and to correctly configure a Jabber client, check out the mobile configuration page.

On here, click the red “View” button to see the Jabber configuration details for suggested mobile apps. This will also display your Zoho user name in the details of the app specific configuration.

If you don’t have a user name configured, you will be prompted automatically by the system at this page to choose a user name.  

Creating a new Zoho user name

When you access the Jabber configuration page, the system will automatically search for your user name, and prompt you to create a new Zoho user name if you haven’t yet done so.

Type your desired username into the provided box, and the system will automatically inform you if this username is available in the system--a green check mark icon to the right of the box along with green text below "Good News! YOUR ENTERED USERNAME is available--or if it is not available--a red minus (-) icon to the right of the box with red text below, "YOUR ENTERED USERNAME is not available." 

Your user name must have at least 6 characters, and no more than 30 characters. You can use alphabetical, numerical, the underscore (_) or dot (.) characters in your user name.

Once you have found a user name that is available in our system, click Continue to create your new user name.

The system will then create your new user name and then unlock the app specific configurations based upon your Zoho SalesIQ portal and user name.

Each user of your Zoho SalesIQ who wishes to link their mobile devices to their account will have to create a user name and apply the user name specific configurations to be able to chat with customers.

Linking up your mobile devices

Because Zoho SalesIQ is built on the Jabber/XMPP protocol, you have the freedom to use any chat application that supports the popular standard.

Below (and at the Zoho SalesIQ Jabber Configuration page) is a suggested list of popular apps that support the Jabber protocol for each popular mobile operating system. This is by no means an exhaustive list; as other apps support the protocol, which you can explore a more complete list of clients that support the XMPP protocol. 

Before you can configure one of these apps to link to your Zoho SalesIQ, you will first need to download the app to your mobile device.

On your Android device these apps are available in the Google Play store. On your iOS device, they are available in the App Store.

Once the app is downloaded and installed onto your device, you will need to configure the app to link with your Zoho SalesIQ account.

In each application, you will first need to configure a new Jabber account and direct the app to look to your Zoho SalesIQ. The specific information for the suggested apps, pre-populated with your user name and portal details are available at the Jabber configuration page.

In general, what a Jabber client will require to connect to Zoho SalesIQ is below:

1. Select Jabber as the new account type.

2. In the user name field, enter the name of your Zoho SalesIQ portal followed by a vertical bar [|] or forward slash [\] (both work in the configuration) and then your Zoho user name @salesiq.zoho.com

3. Enter your Zoho account’s password into the password field.

Find the exact details for configuring suggested desktop chat clients to your Zoho SalesIQ at the Jabber desktop configuration page.

Chatting through a Jabber connected mobile app

Now that your app is linked to your Zoho SalesIQ you can start chatting with customers from your mobile device wherever and whenever.

Answering an incoming chat request

From your device, or desktop app you will see the incoming chat request pop up in your contacts or buddy list. Depending on your app configurations you might even get a push notification on your device of the incoming chat request.

Here the system will display the visitor’s name, as they entered in your chat widget, along with their visitor number as their screen name, and with their status displaying what subject they entered in the chat request and what department they selected to connect to.

To answer the chat:

1. Select the visitor, by clicking or tapping on the visitor’s name in your contacts list. Or, in the case of an incoming push notification select the notification.

2. In the chat window that opens, type “y” into your chat input window, and send the message. This is a code that tells the Zoho SalesIQ server that “yes, I want to connect with this customer” and the system will automatically answer the chat and route it to your client. The system will automatically send you the visitor’s details including their name, their visitor number, where they are connected from (Country), the browser they are chatting from and their IP address.

3. Start chatting as you would from any chat client, by typing messages on the onscreen keyboard and then hitting “Send” from the client to enter the message into the live chat.

Help Commands

To unlock further power through your Zoho SalesIQ from your mobile devices, use the interactive chat window to perform commands that give you added functionality from wherever you are.

These commands give you access to the tools you use from your Zoho SalesIQ browser app to deliver answers to your customers.

At any time you can view a full list of commands directly from any chat by typing #help, and the system will automatically send you the list of help commands.

#help all

#help misc

#help support

#help crm

All commands are preceded by the pound symbol [#], which is a marker to the server to run a command instead of sending the message to your customer.

#help all - to get all help commands

#help misc - to get miscellaneous commands like(transfer, invite etc)

#help support - to get Zoho support integration help commands

#help crm - to get Zoho Crm integration help commands

#help misc - Getting Miscellaneous Commands

Transfer a Chat

Transferring chat to another Agent

Sometimes you need to take a break, or know a teammate who is better equipped to help out a specific customer. In these instances, even from your mobile devices you have the freedom to transfer a chat to a colleague.

When you decide to transfer a chat, you must enter the transfer command.

To transfer a chat:

Enter #t, followed by the e-mail address of the agent you wish to transfer the chat to. There needs to be a space before the agent e-mail. Then insert another space and type a message to the agent you want to display to the agent you are transferring the chat to.

Ex. (#t fiona.baumgartner@hotmail.com)

Hit send to enter the command into the message, and the server will perform the transfer command.

Transferring chat to another Department

When you decide to transfer a chat to other department, you must enter the transfer command.

Enter #t, followed by "<department name>" Then insert another space and type a message <notes(optional)> to the agent you want to display to the agent you are transferring the chat to.

Ex. (#t "VIP Support")

Hit "send" to enter the command into the message, and the server will perform the transfer command.

To accept a transfer from a mobile client:

If another agent transfers a chat to you while you are on a mobile client linked to your Zoho SalesIQ, you will see a new chat pop up in the client from the visitor’s name, and a server message will be displayed, detailing who transferred the visitor to you.

1. The message will also say, “Send y to connect, n to ignore” and will display below the notes the agent sent along with their transfer.
2. Answer the chat transfer as you answer a new chat from the mobile device, by typing “y” into the message window and submitting it. If you choose not to accept the transfer, enter “n” into the message and submit. Either way, the server will respond and either connect you to the transferred visitor, or reject the transfer.

Invite another agent to a chat

Sometimes you don’t want to transfer a chat, but you do want to reach out to another agent for help with a specific visitor. In these cases you can leverage the ability to invite another agent into the live chat, where you can then support the customer together as a team.

To invite another agent to a chat:

1. From the chat window, type the command “#i” followed by a space and then the agent’s e-mail address.

2. Add comments to the agent you are inviting by adding them after another space, “join me in helping out this customer”.

3. Send the command, and your Zoho SalesIQ server will send the invitation to the other agent.

Visitor Information

You can view more information about the visitor you are engaging with, including the visitors e-mail, country, web browser, operating system and the page they launched the live chat from.

Enter  “#info” into your chat window and you can see all the visitor information.

Block a visitor

If you happen to answer a chat from your mobile device and encounter either a spammer or someone harassing you, you still have the ability to block that visitor from their IP address.

To IP block the visitor:

1. From the chat of the visitor you wish to block, type “#b”.
2. Include comments about why you blocked the visitor after the command and a space, (ex. “this visitor was a spammer”).
3. Send the message, to command the server to IP block the visitor.
4. The server will then add the IP address of the visitor to your Zoho SalesIQ’s blocked IP list, and display a message in your chat confirming, “IP address blocked.”

Add Notes

When you are chatting with customers, even from your mobile devices, you still have the ability to add notes to your Zoho SalesIQ with the information and insight you are gaining from chatting with customers.

To add notes from a mobile chat:

2. After the initial command add the notes you want to include [Customer Steve Taskerson has been thinking about adding another portal to his Zillium account].
3. With the full command and your note text included in the tag, send the message, to have the server add your note into your Zoho SalesIQ.
4. The note will be added to this visitor’s note section in your Zoho SalesIQ, and you will see a message in the chat window confirming, which will say “Note added Successfully.”

View Notes

So you can provide the best possible support to each customer, in the context of their needs and culture, you have access to detailed information contained in your Zoho SalesIQ from wherever you are.

Any time you are transferred or invited to a new chat, you are in the dark about how the chat is going and what the customer needs. By running the view transcript command, you quickly get caught up with the chat and can jump in with the customer.

To view the chat transcript:

1. Type in the command “#h”.
2. Submit the command into the chat, and the transcript of the latest chats with the current customer will be displayed within your mobile chat window. Each message from the transcript will be displayed as a new message in your chat window, and the beginning of each will show which participant was chatting inside brackets—since inside your window the client will display all messages as from the current visitor.

Like from the browser app, from mobile chats you have different options for ending chats with customers. You can end a chat immediately at any time or you can set a chat to end after a defined amount of inactivity from the visitor.

To end a chat immediately:

To cancel a pending end command:

1. While a timed end command has been applied, you can manually cancel this command by typing “#e cancel”.
