Features

Everything your team needs to work together

Not another chat app on the side, but a team chat that knows what happens in your inbox.

Channels and direct messages

Create channels like #warehouse or #team-de, or message a colleague directly. See who is online and how many messages you haven't read yet.

Automatic translation

Everyone writes in their own language and reads in their own language. Dutch, English and German. The original is always one click away.

Share customer conversations

Share a conversation from the inbox as a card in the team chat. Colleagues see its status and can assign it to themselves with “I'll take it”.

Tasks and questions with buttons

Ask a yes/no question or give someone a task. Colleagues answer or mark it “Done” with one click, and you get notified.

Alerts from automations

Let an automation post a message, for example on a new return or a delayed shipment. Your team sees it right away in the right channel.

Mentions, reactions and files

Mention a colleague with @, react with an emoji, reply to a message and share photos or files. With sound and push notifications for mentions and direct messages.

Benefits

Why a team chat in Bugalou?

Talk where the work happens

No switching between your helpdesk and WhatsApp or Teams. The customer conversation and the discussion about it sit side by side.

No language barrier

Ideal for teams across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Everyone writes the way they're used to, translation happens automatically.

Nothing slips through the cracks

With “I'll take it” and tasks with a Done button, you see right away who is doing what. No more double work.

Work out of private apps

Customer data doesn't belong in a WhatsApp group on personal phones. In Bugalou everything stays inside your organization, with retention periods and export.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know about the team chat.

Does the team chat cost extra?
No. The team chat is included in every paid plan at no extra cost. You only pay for the users in your organization, as you already do.
How does automatic translation work?
For every message Bugalou detects the language and translates it into each colleague's reading language. It works for Dutch, English and German. You can always show the original, and every user can turn translation off. Automatic translation is included in the Pro and Enterprise plans, with a fair use limit of 20,000 translations per month per organization.
Do team chat messages count towards my conversation limit?
No. Internal messages between colleagues are not customer conversations and don't count towards your limit.
Can people without a Bugalou account join the chat?
No, the team chat is for users within your Bugalou organization. External guests are not possible (yet).
Do I get notified about new messages?
Yes. For a direct message, an @mention or a task for you, you get a sound, a popup in the dashboard and a push notification if you installed the app on your phone. Channels can be muted.
What happens to messages if I cancel my account?
Team chat messages follow the same retention periods as your other data, are included in your organization's data export and are deleted, including attachments, when your organization is deleted.
