Conversocial, provider of a social customer service platform, has launched Channel API, enabling seamless integration with other digital service channels to help companies establish social and mobile customer-focused contact centers. The launch features initial platform partnerships with social monitoring and analytics providers Synthesio and Brandwatch.
"Social-first strategies are the key to engaging with increasingly social and mobile consumers. With the Channel API, we can expand our partnership ecosystem to better enable businesses to deploy a comprehensive digital channel strategy with best-in-class tools built to serve the social, mobile customer at scale," said Joshua March, CEO and co-founder of Conversocial, in a statement. "Customer experience is the defining element of a successful brand strategy, and it is critical that customers get the best experience at every touchpoint, from customer care to marketing to sales. The Channel API means brands no longer need to compromise with generic, broad tools anymore. They can now manage digital conversations using a purpose-built tool that understands the unique nuances and dynamics of social, mobile engagement."
The Channel API will allow Conversocial to develop a diverse partnership ecosystem by integrating third-party content into its platform. Upcoming partner integrations include SMS and additional social networks.
Clients will also soon be able to access the Channel API on their own, enabling them to develop content integration for their platforms.
"Social media provides the opportunity for brands to better understand and engage with their customers strategically and at their point of need.
