MessageKite overview

What is MessageKite ?

MessageKite is a cloud-based front-desk communication software designed to help music schools and businesses manage interactions with customers, staff members, suppliers, teachers, and students using a centralized platform. Managers can automatically schedule and send appointment reminders or confirmations to clients and forward incoming messages to specific phone numbers according to requirements.

Using MessageKite, organizations can handle multiple user accounts, export contact lists to the system in CSV format, and send bulk notifications to staff members, vendors, and customers about emergencies or closures. Administrators can set timers on inbound messages, maintain a record of interactions, automatically respond to incoming texts when unavailable, and sort contacts into specific groups. Music school reception staff can also use the software to streamline communication between teachers, parents, and students via SMS or MMS messages.

MessageKite facilitates custom integration with third-party customer relationship and contact management systems. Supervisors can also configure the after-hours chatbot, MiiA, to inform customers about unavailability and immediately forward urgent messages to the relevant agents. Other features include chat history, new message alerts, autoresponders, and mass texting.

• Two-way messaging communication

“We are a small retail boutique and didn't have the budget for some of the more robust options available. We decided to give MessageKite a try with their free trial option, and fell in love.”

Cons
“The alert for the notifications is the most annoying sound ever. There is no way to choose a different tone/sound or to adjust the volume.”

“The alert sound is horrendous. I use a lot of other audio features on my work computer throughout the day, and I've had to mute the Messagekite browser tab to escape the sound.”

“Some emojis or images that client's send me show up as weird characters or just blank texts. I never know what i'm missing as it could be important.”
