Better Messages Integration
Andreij already said he's open to integration with any plugin, including FluentCommunity, though he hadn't heard of it until I mentioned it last month - Better Messages already operates on the default WP profile, so for people who use Better Messages for things like Video and Voice calls, voice messages, and other more advanced features, it would be preferrable
I have two active use cases:
- A community is built on BuddyBoss - we use the Mobile app with Learndash, but it's getting #1 expensive, and #2 clunky. Better Messages is integral for the learning experience, as paid group and one on one classes are held in the video calls, and messages therefore are all on Better Messages vs the default BBoss messaging. We'd be unable to switch to FluentCommunity right now because the Community portal is so siloed from the rest of the site experience, and would cause confusion between the Fluent Messaging and Better Messages.
- Therapists use BetterMessages to host 1x1 calls with their clients and the internal client portal on Wordpress along with FluentCRM to keep track of Client Notes. They like to provide course and community features, but again - they cannot have two seperate messaging systems.
These clients cannot use the FluentMessaging system specifically because they need the Voice and Video features, as well as the other robust features BM has.
Please integrate with BM - something as simple as using that messaging system for the "Message" button - and allowing the BM shortcode to work on a FluentCommunity page, as well as chatbox popping up with inside the Community portal. A proper native integration would be better, but this would be a great start.
I really hope we can have our menu somehow integrated with ours or at least highly customisable in an easy way without having to do a tone of CSS, to better integrate the plugin with our site. So it doesn't feel so isolated from everything. π
Pat kΒ Did Andreij answer anything?
Our team is super busy with the core features, bug fixing, and improvements at this moment. So investing time in third-party plugins will be hard. Maybe you can reach out to Better Messages once we launch then they can easily integrate with us. In that case, if they need any help or any extended API, we would love to help them.
Shahjahan JewelΒ I would appreciate more hooks for user hover cards for BP Better Messages to show up buttons like message, call, video call etc. Can you consider it for future updates please? π
