How it works.

1

Forward your support@ address.

Set up a forwarding rule from Gmail, Outlook, or any provider. Emails land in FloatChat instead of an agent's inbox.

Gmail forwarding rule

to: support@atelierlinen.com

inbox-a7f9@floatchat.com

Drops cleanly into Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, Fastmail.

2

Assign to a team member.

Anyone on the team can pick it up, assign it, or hand it off.

Testimonials

Loved by US support teams.

Honest quotes from teams who switched to FloatChat.

“We moved off Intercom in a weekend. The migration was free and Captain was answering tickets by Monday morning.”

“Per-seat pricing was killing us. Capacity pricing means I stopped flinching every time we onboard a new agent.”

“AI replies cost a flat $9.99 — not $0.99 per resolution. Predictable bill at the end of every month.”
