What's Next: 2024-05-02

This week, Caz Lim shares updates coming soon to Inbox, Campaigns Pro, Advertising Intelligence and more. 
Coming May 15th: Inbox Messaging Integrations Available on Inbox Standard
Starting May 15, 2024, every Business App account can connect and message with customers on Google Business Messages, Facebook Messenger, and Email, with Instagram coming soon. This means you can provide Vendasta’s multi-channel, shared team inbox to all of your local business clients, included as part of your Vendasta subscription. No extra charges, fees, or products to activate.
Then, upsell your clients to Inbox Pro with Vendasta’s AI-assisted lead capture widget, along with nearly unlimited SMS credits for text message communication from a local number to facilitate responding to, and converting, all those new leads. 
Why are we making this change?
As your clients' conversation hub that they interact with daily, Inbox is a great tool for your agency to provide, because it delivers value to them every single day. The more your clients engage with Business App, the more mission critical you and your agency become to their business. With all leads delivered to the Inbox and CRM provided by your agency, the value of your relationship will be clearer than ever. This paves the way to introducing Inbox Pro with our powerful AI-assisted web chat lead capture when they’re ready to grow their customer base in a big way.
