Display only first name or first name & initial in guest messages
Currently when messaging a guest through the Mews Messages platform the full name (or whatever name is set in the employee's profile) is displayed to the guest. This is very uncommon and I don't know a single platform that provides the first and last name of a customer support employee. In addition we should be able to give our staff protection from any harassment they could receive as a result of this. As a temporary fix you can remove your last name from your employee profile but this isn't ideal.
Hello Mewsers!
Good news! Because privacy of your employees is very important for us, from now, your guests will be able to see only the first name of employee who is replying in the chat.
With the first name, communication still remains personal but does not expose any sensitive information about your employees.
Have a great day and thanks for feedback you provided,
Aneta, Navigator Product Manager

Hi Aneta.
You mention that only the employee's first name is displayed in the chat, but this is not the case. Both the first and last names are shown, which is not appropriate
