# Welcome

Collectchat provides a platform where anyone can build interactive, chatbots
using simple drag & drop message types
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1028-message-type]. We aim to make the
process of building chatbots as easy as possible.



Our chatbots are completely automated. They engage your visitors and collect
valuable information from them. You will receive instant email notifications
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1019-email-notifications] for each response
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1104-what-is-a-response]. These chatbot
widgets can be installed by a simple copy-paste
[https://collect.chat/help/category/102-installation-guide] method and will be
available 24x7.


INTEGRATIONS

You can use our webhooks
[https://collect.chat/help/article/1074-send-the-data-to-your-server-using-webhook]
to route the data via Zapier [https://collect.chat/help/article/1068-zapier] or
Make (formerly Integromat) [https://collect.chat/help/article/1076-integromat]
to any third party app or server. You can track the chatbot events using Google
Analytics [https://collect.chat/help/article/1022-google-analytics] or Meta
Pixel [https://collect.chat/help/article/1023-facebook-pixel].


SHARE YOUR CREATIONS

This Developer Hub gives you additional power to configure and customise the
chatbot widget using the JavaScript API. We are excited to see how you use the
API, feel free to share your creations with us [developers@collect.chat]!
