MTC Search & Takeover – Agent Login
Mobile Text Connect is a great feature to use in the Service Department of an Auto Dealership. It allows your Service Agents to communicate with the customers via text about the status of their car. It also gives the customer a quick and easy way to get in touch with their Service Advisor without having to make a phone call or leave a voice mail. But customers do not always use the same Service Advisor so we needed an easy way to find conversations from prior visits and transfer them between Service Advisors.

ContactAtOnce! has improved usability of Mobile Text Connect by adding a Search and Takeover feature to the MTC Conversation Detail report for Agent login to the portal. This feature was requested by many Auto Dealerships using MTC in their service department. Now a Service Advisor can login to the ContactAtOnce! portal and find an MTC conversation by searching consumer name or mobile number. Once conversation is found, the Agent can take over the conversation if it does not already belong to them.
