Hi Ishan Shah,

We don't have Chat functionality as a component.

We would suggest few options to implement Chat functionality.

1. There are  chat components online like below. You can integrate them in your application easily. You will get more open source if you google it.

    Example: https://www.tawk.to/

2. If you want to build yourself from scratch, you have to study and build the below things.

    - Design chat control. - You may try our LiveView control to design Chat. https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/#/material/listview/call-history.html

    - Implement necessary back end API

    - Implement SignalR for live Chat. You may refer Azure SignalR https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/services/signalr-service/

3. We have Solution Services team they develop application for you. If you plan to buy hours for Solution Services to develop Chat functionality, please contact [email protected] 

Regards,

Karikalan

To add chat functionality, use third-party services like Tidio or LiveChat for quick setup, or build a custom solution with WebSocket for real-time communication. Firebase or Pusher also offer simple live messaging setups. Third-party tools are great for fast integration, while custom options give more control and flexibility if you're comfortable with coding.

To implement chat functionality on your website, you can integrate a chat plugin or service like Tawk.to or Intercom. These platforms offer easy-to-install codes that allow visitors to message you in real time. Simply sign up, copy the provided code, and paste it into your website’s HTML. For example, if you’re selling womens batting gloves, this feature can help customers quickly inquire about products. Use terms like "live chat integration" or "chatbot setup" to find the easiest tools for your site.

To implement chat functionality on a website, you can integrate a third-party chat service like Tawk.to or live chat APIs. These services manage message Storage and Distribution System for handling real-time conversations. Simply add their embed code into your website, allowing seamless communication and easy message tracking.

To implement chat functionality on your website easily, use JavaScript with WebSocket for real-time communication or integrate APIs like ChatGPT or Firebase. You can customize the chat UI using HTML/CSS, similar to how apps like InShot Pro APK provide intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. This method ensures seamless integration and a smooth user experience.

To implement chat functionality in your MVC .NET project:

1. Use SignalR: A real-time communication library for adding chat features.
2. Create a ChatHub: This will handle sending and receiving messages.
3. Configure SignalR in Startup: Set up SignalR in your project’s Startup.cs.
4. Create the Chat Interface: Design a simple chat UI with input fields for users to type and send messages.
5. Implement Real-time Messaging: Use JavaScript to handle message sending and receiving via SignalR.
6. Optional Enhancements: You can add features like user authentication or saving chat history.

Hi there,

If you’re looking to implement chat functionality in your .NET MVC project for expert communication and real-time support, one of the most effective and scalable options would be integrating an AI-based chatbot that supports both live chat and smart automation.

At Ecosmob, we specialize in building customized AI chatbot solutions that can easily be integrated with MVC frameworks. Our bots not only offer real-time chat but also handle queries intelligently using NLP (Natural Language Processing), ensuring your users get instant, relevant responses—even outside working hours.

Here’s how you can approach it:

• Use SignalR for real-time messaging in MVC (.NET).

• Integrate a custom AI chatbot with fallback to live agents.

• Connect the chatbot with your existing CRM or ticketing system for expert collaboration.

• Ensure it supports multilingual, context-aware replies to enhance user experience.

Implementing chat functionality in an MVC .NET project can be done effectively using SignalR, which allows for real-time communication. It’s easy to integrate and supports features like group chats and notifications. For a basic setup:

1. Install SignalR through NuGet.

2. Create a SignalR Hub for managing chat connections and messages.

3. Set up JavaScript or a front-end library to handle message rendering in real-time.

4. Could you make sure proper authentication so that only authorized users can access the chat?

It’s a scalable solution that works great for expert website communication!

[Mattew Wade]

Great topic! Adding chat functionality can really improve user interaction, especially for businesses that rely on quick responses. I’ve used SignalR with Syncfusion controls before, and it worked really well for creating a real-time chat interface.

We actually implemented a similar setup for a property platform we were working on for Real Estate Agents London live chat made it much easier to handle tenant and buyer inquiries instantly. For anyone building a client-facing site, it's definitely worth considering.

[John William]

Great suggestions! It's good to know there are ready-made chat components like Tomahawk for quick integration. For those looking to build from scratch, using Live View for the chat design and Azure Signal R for live chat are excellent approaches. If you're planning to develop the functionality further, reaching out to the Solution Services team might be the way to go. By the way, if you're in need of reliable services, like a good estate agents team, they can also offer expert guidance when it comes to handling customer interactions effectively.
