The new updated version of Socialreply will be released on March 29th, 2021. In this version, Socialhead’s developers will focus on reforming the Growth Tool feature to offer users a full-forced tool to grow subscribers in multiple ways.
We highly expect that Socialreply V2.0 can help merchants handle most of the current obstacles of selling via Facebook Messenger live chat.
Chat Widget and Growth Tool are two typical features that merchants must be aware of in this release.
Let’s unbox Socialreply V2.0!

Choose a chat flow to continue
Once you select a chat flow, you can preview it on the right screen.
