Chaty has been the only tool I’ve found to get the job done. But my favorite feature aside from how well it works, is the back-end interface. I wish more apps would consider making the backend interface as well as Premio does theirs. Kudos!” Hamlet Arias, Lead2Starts A great plugin that does what is promises, beautifully This plugin is an elegant solution for enabling via Whatsapp, Messenger, SMS etc. Highly recommended and support is stellar! Work’s like a charm and worth the spend!” Ignatius Savis, BitValley
