Rocket.Chat is a customizable open-source communications platform for organizations with high data protection standards. It enables real-time conversations between colleagues, other companies, or your customers across web, desktop, or mobile devices.

Rocket.Chat integrates with multiple conversation channels like website Live Chat, email, Facebook page, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. It shows discussion from various channels, constructing a single view of the customer and reducing the time required to switch between the tools.
