Is there a live chat plugin (from website) that could provide an alert to my mobile phone that a user is wanting to chat? Might have to create custom email alert upon chat request if not.
I use Intercom for BigMailer.io and have a mobile app installed on my phone so I can actually reply from my phone if I wanted to. I have notifications turned on so I get notified instantly. You can set your "office hours" and auto-reply with email collection to follow up outside office hours.
Intercom has a startup program where they offer you their entire suite of products for just $49/month - great value. If you only decide to use chat feature you can keep that after for $38/month.

Sounds interesting but probably not there yet in terms of cost and volume of users. Thanks for the suggestion :)
If you use a chat like https://www.drift.com, they have a mobile app that notifies you when a user is wanting to chat and you can reply back.
Great tip. Looks like they have a free package for smaller biz. Will give it a try out.
Free is indeed great for startups, thanks for mentioning that @innov8or
I wanted the Intercom's "bubble" recognition so didn't do much research for alternatives since price wasn't an issue for me. But I would consider Drift for any other/new projects I launch.
Hi Pete,
we are working on something like that. Can ping you, once its launched.
Hey Oemerax, I'm super keen to get something up and running now so will go for drift. Hope all goes well with the project. Are you open for collaboration discussion? I need web designer help, can offer content writing, SEO or scriptwriting.
Hi Pete, send me your mail address. The one in your profile doesnt seem to work.
oh yep sorry fixed it up.
it's info@personizer.net
Did you get my mail?
Yes Omer, I was just in the process of replying.
