Live chat requests arrive to my mobile phone

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.

      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.
