About

Respond.io is a customer conversation management platform that brings chats, calls and emails from channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, TikTok and email into a single team inbox. It is built for B2C businesses whose customers move between channels — asking questions on chat, requesting details by phone and confirming by email — a pattern that breaks traditional, channel-by-channel inboxes and CRMs.

The platform combines a shared inbox, AI Agents that can answer enquiries, qualify leads, update CRMs and book appointments, and built-in lead management and analytics. Respond.io states that more than 10,000 B2C businesses use it, and the company has raised a $62.5 million Series B round. Pricing is based on the number of monthly active contacts, with a 7-day free trial that does not require a credit card.

Key Features

Unified team inbox: Messages, calls (WhatsApp Business Calls, Messenger Calls, VoIP) and email from multiple channels appear in one thread per customer, so context is never lost when a customer switches channels.
AI Agents: AI agents can answer questions, route conversations, recommend products, book appointments and update connected CRMs, operating around the clock so human agents can focus on high-value conversations.
Lead capture and routing: Leads from ads, social media, websites and offline sources are consolidated into organized customer profiles and routed with smart assignment rules.
Automation and workflows: Broadcast messaging, workflow automation, renewal reminders and CSAT/NPS surveys help teams retain customers and build recurring revenue.
Analytics and reporting: Built-in reports show which ads, agents and channels drive return on investment, plus campaign engagement tracking.
CRM and tool integrations: Respond.io syncs with CRMs for full customer context and, on higher plans, connects to Zapier, Make, a developer API and webhooks.
Reliability at scale: The vendor cites 99.999% platform uptime, and the product ranks highly on G2 for results based on customer reviews.
