About Trengo
Trengo is a hosted customer engagement platform that gathers messages from different channels into one omnichannel inbox. Support and sales teams can answer WhatsApp messages, emails and social media chats from a single dashboard instead of juggling separate apps.
The vendor is an official WhatsApp Business partner and also supports channels such as TikTok and voice. On top of the inbox it provides AI agents, including AI agents for voice, and AI journeys for automating conversation flows such as lead qualification and order status questions. Integrations connect it with shops and other business systems, and an API is documented for developers.
Trengo is proprietary software sold by subscription with a free trial and demos. Its marketing focuses on retail and e-commerce, travel and hospitality, health and wellness and leisure businesses, so it suits small and mid-sized companies that run most customer conversations on messaging apps.
