Sending Twitter DMs to Companies Just Got Much Easier
There are few things less enjoyable than calling client service. So savvy social media users have long skipped the hassle of picking up the phone in favor of sending companies directly messages on Twitter, where their questions or complaints are ofttimes resolved quickly and without the need to loudly spell out their last names.
Going forward, brands will at present be able to embed a DM link inside individual tweets. Instead of having to respond to a customer similar this:
@abigaillee66 Hullo, Abigail. We're distressing to hear that. Would yous care to ship u.s.a. a DM and tell us what happened? ^TY

They're at present able to do this:
Information technology may seem like a small-scale change, simply it's the 3rd step in a major transformation of Twitter's formerly overlooked direct messaging feature that has taken place over the past yr.
Get-go came the removal of the restriction that users must follow each other to send DMs. For companies that relied on Twitter to interact with customers, it had the potential to cut response times in one-half. No longer would a passenger have to tweet at an airline to alter their flight, wait for the airline to follow them, and then transport the same flight change request in a DM. To protect against harassment, those who want to apply it have to opt in.
A few months later, Twitter removed the 140-grapheme limit for DMs. As evidenced by many brands' Twitter feeds, trying to explicate why you lot're upset in 140 characters or less frequently results in unhelpful profanity and lots of assertion marks.
Social media "experience management" companies welcomed the latest modify, which they encounter as a sign that Twitter is committed to its usefulness as a customer service platform. "Twitter'south new customer service features are a testament to the fact that brands demand to quickly and effectively engage on the customer's terms," said Elizabeth Closmore, caput of product and partnerships at Sprinklr in a statement.
