Enterprise Edition

Starting fromĀ versionĀ 2.0, Chatwoot ships two versions of its software. The community edition isĀ MITĀ licensed, and an enterprise edition is available under aĀ proprietary license. Both software versions are built from a singleĀ GitHub repository. While the community edition will always remain free and open-source, the enterprise edition is the effort to sustain both the offerings and Chatwoot as a commercial business. This model has been derived from other commercial open-source companies like Gitlab, Mattermost, Metabase, etc. Differences between Community and Enterprise editionsā€‹ The community edition of Chatwoot has all the relevant customer communication features that a growing business requires. At the same time, the enterprise edition contains proprietary features such as customizable dashboards, SLA Management, agent scheduling software, IP blocklisting, etc., suited for larger organizations. While the source code for both editions is open to the public in our Github repo, all theĀ /enterpriseĀ folder contents are copyrighted. Choosing the right editionā€‹ We recommend you download and install Chatwoot Enterprise Edition to upgrade to a paid tier in the future without having to reinstall Chatwoot. Enterprise Edition The Enterprise edition offers the following. - All Chatwoot features - Visible and auditable complete source code - All features of the community edition are available without a subscription. - Direct Support options - Option to easily upgrade to paid features Community Edition The Community edition offers the following. - Visible and modifiable complete source code - No access to the paid features - Community Support only - It will require a migration to the Enterprise edition to add paid features in the future.

Languages supported in Chatwoot

Chatwoot natively supports 30+ different languages. This guide will illustrate how to enable a particular language to work with your dashboard and live chat widget. Supported languages Mentioned below are the languages supported in Chatwoot and the corresponding shortcodes (derived fromĀ ISO 639 language codes). (ar) Ų§Ł„Ų¹Ų±ŲØŁŠŲ© CatalĆ  (ca) čeÅ”tina (cs) dansk (da) Deutsch (de) ĪµĪ»Ī»Ī·Ī½Ī¹ĪŗĪ¬ (el) English (en) EspaƱol (es) ŁŲ§Ų±Ų³ŪŒ (fa) suomi, suomen kieli (fi) FranƧais (fr) magyar nyelv (hu) Bahasa Indonesia (id) Italiano (it) ę—„ęœ¬čŖž (ja) ķ•œźµ­ģ–“ (ko) latvieÅ”u valoda (lv) ą“®ą“²ą“Æą“¾ą“³ą“‚ (ml) Nederlands (nl) norsk (no) język polski (pl) PortuguĆŖs (pt) PortuguĆŖs Brasileiro (pt-BR) RomĆ¢nă (ro) руссŠŗŠøŠ¹ (ru) slovenčina (sk) Svenska (sv) ą®¤ą®®ą®æą®“ąÆ (ta) ąø ąø²ąø©ąø²ą¹„ąø—ąø¢ (th) TĆ¼rkƧe (tr) уŠŗрŠ°Ń—Š½ŃŃŒŠŗŠ° Š¼Š¾Š²Š° (uk) Tiįŗæng Viį»‡t (vi) äø­ę–‡ (zh-CN) äø­ę–‡ (å°ę¹¾) (zh-TW) How to update language in the live-chat widget? As outlined in theĀ SDK setup guide, you can configure the locale for the live-chat widget either by passing it in theĀ chatwootSettingsĀ or by calling theĀ setLocaleĀ method. To specify the locale, use the shortcodes provided above. This will ensure that the widget is displayed in the desired language. // Pass via window.chatwootSettings window.chatwootSettings = { locale: 'pt_BR', // .. rest of the settings } // Using setLocale method window.$chatwoot.setLocale('pt_BR') How to update your dashboardā€™s language? Only administrators can update the dashboard language. Go toĀ Settings ā†’Ā Account Settings. You will be able to see theĀ Site LanguageĀ setting available in the options. Select the language of your choice from the corresponding dropdown menu. Click on theĀ Update SettingsĀ button on the top-right corner of your screen. Changing the site language would change the default language for all agents/administrators in the system. Currently, Chatwoot does not support language selection at the agent level. Also, note that this language would be used as the fallback language for the live chat widget.

Inconsistencies for WhatsApp Numbers in Brazil and Argentina

Over the past few years, some countries have changed their mobile numbering systems to accommodate growth. These changes created inconsistencies between the number you can dial today and the number WhatsApp has stored for older accounts. - Brazil: A "9" was added after the area code to all mobile numbers, creating a 13-digit total format. Example: +55 11 9 8765-4321 instead of +55 11 8765-4321. - Argentina: Numbers may appear with or without a "9" after the country code, depending on when the WhatsApp account was registered. Example: +54 9 11 1234-5678 vs +54 11 1234-5678. Because of this, when Chatwoot initiates a WhatsApp conversation (using the ā€œcorrectā€ dialable format), WhatsApp may respond with the userā€™s older registered number. This can create duplicate contacts and disrupt ticket flow in your inbox. Unfortunately, this issue comes from WhatsApp itself. There is no fix at the API level, and itā€™s unlikely WhatsApp will update old accounts to match the new numbering rules. How Chatwoot Solves This Weā€™ve added logic to automatically prevent duplicate contacts and tickets when these mismatches occur: - Case 1: Incoming message with a new-format number (e.g., +55 country code + area code + 9 + number, 13 digits total) ā†’ No change needed. The message is linked directly to the existing contact. - Case 2: Incoming message with an old-format number (e.g., +55 country code + area code + number, 12 digits total, missing the extra digit) ā†’ Chatwoot checks if a contact already exists in the new format. ā†’ If it does, we link the message to the correct contact instead of creating a duplicate. What this means for you - You may still notice the difference in how numbers look in WhatsApp vs how they look in your CRM. - You can continue messaging customers normally Chatwoot takes care of the background mismatch - Chatwoot automatically normalizes phone numbers from both old and new formats behind the scenes to ensure consistent contact matching, regardless of which format WhatsApp returns.

Troubleshooting: Why am I not receiving notifications?

If youā€™re not receiving notifications, follow these steps one by one. 1. Make sure notifications are turned on for your account Go to Profile settings ā†’ Notifications and enable the types you want for Email and/or Push. If a type is turned off, Chatwoot will not send it. 2. Check whether you are included in that conversation You only get certain notifications when you are connected to the conversation in the right way: - Conversation created: you must be a collaborator of that inbox. - Assigned conversation new message: the conversation must be assigned to you. - Participating conversation new message: you must be added as a participant. - Mention: someone must tag/mention you in a note or message. Important: - If you are not assigned and not a participant, you wonā€™t get ā€œnew messageā€ notifications for that conversation. - A mention can notify you even if you were not already a participant. 3. Check the conversation status - For pending conversations, Chatwoot does not send ā€œConversation createdā€ or ā€œConversation assignedā€ notifications. - Notifications are not limited only to ā€œopenā€ conversations. 4. Check message type - Regular ā€œnew messageā€ notifications are sent only for normal customer/agent messages, not for private notes or activity events. - Private notes usually do not trigger regular new-message notifications. - But if someone mentions you in a private note, you can still get a mention notification. 5. If Push notifications are missing - Turn on push in Chatwoot profile settings. - Allow notifications in your browser or mobile OS settings. - If browser/OS permission is blocked, push wonā€™t arrive. 6. If Email notifications are missing - Confirm that email notifications are enabled for that event. - Confirm your email is verified.
