    nico_lrx Great :) Just curios which is the restaurant ?

    1. 1

      Hey this is a restaurant in Koramangala, Bangalore, but I don't remember the name sorry...

      1. 1

        Hey so I found it again: it's Chai Gally in Bangalore ;)

        1. 1

          Yeah now I got it. Some time back I visited it.

          All the best nico_lrx !!

    It's a great idea! Nice execution.

    Hey Nicolas, great to see a compatriot becoming an entrepreneur :)

    I checked your Dribbble and I saw you raised up the number of subscribers on the free plan on your production website. Why that change? I feel the plan is too generous compared to the value you're bringing to your clients. Otherwise way to go man, congrats!

      Hey, indeed, I'm working on the pricing right now... This is really difficult for me to find the right one. I will A/B test it to know more ;)

    Great story :D

      Thanks ;)

    Way to go! What you have created is awesome. I love simple but imapctful ideas like this.

    I've breifly read that messenger chat is set to become the new main marketing channel, is it safe to say there is a lot of opportunity in this right now?

    1. 3

      Yes there is!

      1. 2

        Great, you obviously know what your doing and picked a prime market.

        Can you recommend a site where I can learn more about chatbots/messenger marketing and the opportunites involved?

        Im guessing there is going to be a huge opportunity to sell this to local businesses. That is something I would be very interested in doing.

        Keep up the awesome work, your on to something big.

        Thank you.

    I run a clothing brand with my brothers. We are now using your service.

      Hi Justin, happy to hear that! Please let me know if you have any questions ;)

      1. 1

        Is there a sustainable way to continue getting subscribers?

        Right now I have contacted fans we've chatted with and we've also boosted the post on our facebook page.

        What about getting future subscribers? Is there a Shopify plugin?

        1. 1

          You can find many ways to grow your list here: https://blog.botletter.com/grow-facebook-messenger-newsletter-list/

          We don't have a Shopify plugin yet but maybe one day ;)

    Congrats!

    With chatblue.carrd.co I had the same idea, tried the Chatfuel approach to make it work, but didn't really :(

    1. 1

      Yes that's exactly why I built Botletter. Chatfuel is great but for larger use cases. If you want to have a Messenger newsletter, Botletter is doing the job perfectly and without any hassle ;)

    Massive congratulations on the launch. Top of Product Hunt — not bad for your first SaaS! 😉
