The way businesses communicate is evolving fast — and if you’re not measuring it, you’re missing it. At ChatWorks, we believe that great communication is only half the story. The other half is knowing exactly how that communication is performing. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Advanced Dashboard and Search Insights — a powerful, real-time visibility suite built right into the ChatWorks portal at portal.chatworks.co.za.
One Platform. Two Powerhouse Integrations.
ChatWorks has always been committed to connecting South African businesses with their customers through two of the world’s most powerful communication channels: WhatsApp for Business and ChatWorks Messaging. These aren’t just tools — they are the lifeline of modern customer engagement. WhatsApp for Business gives you direct, verified, and trusted access to your customers’ most-used messaging app. ChatWorks extends that reach further, combining automation, broadcast campaigns, and intelligent conversation management in one unified inbox. Together, they represent the gold standard in business communication — and now, you can see exactly how they’re performing, all from one place.
Say Hello to Real-Time Dashboard Insights
Log in to portal.chatworks.co.za and your Dashboard greets you with an instant snapshot of your entire communication operation — no waiting, no guesswork, just live data at a glance. Here’s what you get the moment you land on your dashboard:
- Total Contacts — See your entire contact base at a glance, with 174+ contacts and growing
- WhatsApp Opt-In/Opt-Out Tracking — Monitor exactly who has opted in (147) and who has opted out (27), keeping your campaigns compliant and targeted
- Unassigned Messages — Never miss a customer again; instantly see messages waiting to be picked up by your team
- Messages Awaiting Reply — Track response obligations and ensure your team stays on top of every conversation
- Active Conversations — Live count of ongoing chats, giving you a pulse-check on your team’s workload in real time
- Message Volume Charts — Visual inbound vs outbound breakdowns across 7, 14, or 30-day windows, so you can spot trends and peak days instantly

Introducing Search Insights: Know What Your Customers Are Looking For
Beyond messaging, ChatWorks has introduced a game-changing Search Insights feature accessible at portal.chatworks.co.za/search-intelligence. This is where the intelligence of WhatsApp Business truly shines. If your business uses a product catalogue or allows customers to search for parts, products, or services via WhatsApp, Search Insights gives you an unprecedented window into customer behaviour and intent. Track your Search Hit Rate to understand how well your catalogue meets demand, monitor Active Searchers and Search Events over customisable time periods (Today, Week, Month, 6 Months, Year, or Custom), discover your Top Queries to understand what your customers need most, and identify catalogue gaps where demand exists but supply is missing. The AI Insights panel even provides intelligent recommendations — such as re-engagement campaign suggestions when activity drops — so you are always one step ahead.
Why Real-Time Visibility Changes Everything
In the past, business owners and managers had to wait for end-of-day reports or manually compile data to understand how their communication channels were performing. Those days are over. With ChatWorks’ real-time dashboard, you make decisions based on what is happening right now. Spot a spike in unassigned messages and assign your team immediately. Notice a campaign delivering above 90%? Send it to more contacts today. See customer search activity climbing on a particular product? Check your stock and respond proactively. This is the competitive edge that modern South African businesses need — and ChatWorks is delivering it.
