Embedded Chat
Embedded Chat
Traditional communication tools pull teams away from their operational systems, creating fragmented context and forcing constant switching between live threads, email chains, and the actual work. Planhat's Embedded Chat brings live, threaded conversations directly onto any object—from Companies and Projects down to individual Tasks and Tickets. You can reference live data inline or in comments, ensuring discussions always have complete context.

Collaborate with Context
Work together on QBR presentations, account plans, and documents with threaded discussions and live data references, ensuring feedback and revisions happen in context instead of scattered across email threads

Align on Account Strategy
Chat directly on Company profiles to coordinate handoffs between sales and CS, align on expansion opportunities, or loop in leadership—keeping all context and decisions in one place.
03
Two-Way Customer Communication
Enable customers to chat with your team directly within their Portal—asking questions, providing updates, or discussing project progress—creating a seamless communication channel that lives alongside shared data and workflows
Power your every process.
How is Embedded Chat different from using Slack or email alongside Planhat?
Planhat Embedded Chat places conversations directly onto the customer record rather than in a separate tool. By embedding dialogue exactly where the data lives, every conversation is enriched with live context — Health Scores, recent usage trends, upcoming renewals — so that teams and customers aren't just chatting, they are collaborating on a shared, unified view of the relationship.
How does Embedded Chat reduce onboarding friction and speed up time to value?
Onboarding often stalls because of communication friction — waiting for email replies or searching for lost attachments. Embedded Chat enables instant, contextual feedback loops. When a customer is looking at an onboarding milestone in their Portal, they can message right there. This point-of-action communication ensures that roadblocks are cleared in real time, increasing onboarding velocity.
How does Embedded Chat allow account managers to have more informed conversations?
Generic chat tools are data-blind — they don't know who the customer is or what they are doing. Planhat's Embedded Chat is context-aware, integrated deeply with the Unified Data Model. When a customer reaches out, the account manager sees their Health Score, recent product adoption, and upcoming renewals right next to the chat window — turning simple support into proactive success consulting.
How does Embedded Chat eliminate the need to context-switch during a customer conversation?
Most professionals pay a heavy context-switching cost when jumping between their work environment and communication tools. Because Embedded Chat is integrated into the same interface as time-series charts and customer data, account managers can discuss usage trends or contract terms while looking at the exact same data as the customer — removing the need to 'check the data and get back to you.'
How does Planhat ensure enterprise governance and accountability in Embedded Chat?
Embedded Chat is built with enterprise-grade guardrails, ensuring that internal-only notes stay internal while customer-facing dialogues remain professional and transparent. With full auditability and access control, organisations can maintain a secure record of all commercial agreements and decisions made within the chat.
