I’ve seen Adalo’s solution for chat, but quite frankly it would take a lot of time to build features in it that would make it on par with modern messaging solutions like Slack/Whatsapp (read receipts, group chats, click on reply to scroll to that reply, in-app calls, etc.)
So instead of trying to build one from scratch on Adalo, it would be great if we can integrate an existing chat API solution such as these into Adalo: [https://talkjs.com/](https://talkjs.com/), [https://sendbird.com/](https://sendbird.com/)
Is this possible right now in Adalo, through some existing workaround?
I’m not a tech person so I might be talking bull here. Basically my use case would be, I’d want to create an e-commerce app, but one that also has a chat function with all the modern chat features such as read receipts etc. and with good performance and scalability as well. Another use case is that I would make an app for managing a company’s internal operations, and instead of relying on Slack for communications, we integrate this chat API and put the “slack” directly into the Adalo app as well.

Depending of the nature of those APIs, the Custom Actions feature we have in development might work for that.

Ben, when will that become available?

@alexsam For a chat app, it’s weird they don’t have online chat. Too bad they don’t have a free plan or trial too.

@Ben, it looks like Custom Actions should work with TalkJS, right? Or Sendbird.

I haven’t, unfortunately. I’ve decided to go the other way round - use an available chat app, and share Adalo app links (which will then open within the chat app). Not as elegant, but might still work

You’re absolutely right! While Adalo has a built-in chat solution, it lacks the advanced features you mentioned for a modern chat experience. Here’s how you can achieve your goal of integrating a chat API into your Adalo app:
Yes, it is possible! There are a couple of workarounds to achieve chat functionality with those features:
```
1. Third-party Chat API Integration:
```
1.
```
Both TalkJS (https://talkjs.com/docs/) and Sendbird (https://sendbird.com/) offer APIs that you can integrate with Adalo. This is the most recommended approach for complex chat features.
```
2.
```
Here's the catch: Adalo itself doesn't directly support embedding third-party chat APIs. However, there are workarounds:
```
-
```
Zapier: This automation platform acts as a middleman. You can connect your chosen chat API (TalkJS or Sendbird) with Zapier and then connect Zapier to Adalo. This allows you to trigger actions in your app based on chat events (like sending a message) and vice versa (like displaying a notification when a message is received).
```
-
```
Custom Actions: This involves writing custom code (JavaScript) to interact with the chat API directly. This requires more technical knowledge but offers more flexibility.
```
1.
1. Backend + Adalo [B2B API integration](https://www.globaldatabase.com/why-use-b2b-data-providers-apis-when-building-your-app):
-
```
If you're comfortable with backend development, you can build a server-side script that interacts with the chat API and exposes its functionality to Adalo through an API. This approach gives you complete control but requires more development effort.
```
