Chat2Desk
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Chat2Desk is an aggregator of messengers: all incoming messages from different channels are brought together into a single operator's working window. The self-description from the homepage: "The Chat2Desk chat centre — WhatsApp, MAX, Telegram, VKontakte, Avito, online chats for a site. An aggregator of messengers for CRM and technical support"; the quotation is in Russian and the translation is ours. This is the tool's own claim about itself.
The interface language of the homepage is ru, and the markup declares no other language versions. The partner side is likewise designed for the Russian market: an offer contract, a settlement period, work through agencies and integrators.
The key difference from schedulers: Chat2Desk is occupied with correspondence, not with publishing. It is a tool for support and sales in correspondence, not for issuing posts into feeds.
Which platforms it works with
The list is taken from the "Messengers" (Messendzhery) section of the tool's catalogue. The names are given as in the catalogue, in our translation:
WhatsApp, Telegram by number (Telegram nomernoy), VKontakte, MAX, Instagram API, VK Direct, Odnoklassniki, Telegram API, Facebook Messenger, Viber Business, Email, External channel (Vneshniy kanal), Outlook/Office365, Online chat (Onlayn-chat).
The list is worth reading attentively. First, some of the positions are not social platforms at all: Email, Outlook/Office365, "Online chat" and "External channel" stand in the same section of the catalogue, but these are mail, a widget on a site and an arbitrary source of messages.
Second, Telegram and VKontakte are each represented twice, by different methods of connection: "Telegram by number" and "Telegram API", "VKontakte" and "VK Direct". These are not duplicates in the catalogue but different channels, and the choice will have to be made deliberately — how they differ the catalogue does not explain at the level of the list.
Instagram is present in a single form — "Instagram API", that is, through the platform's official interface.
How you earn with it
The programme is announced on the page "For partners" (Partneram) (the link lives in the "About us" (O nas) menu; the addresses /affiliate and /referral return 404). Four types of partnership are announced: referral, technical, exclusive and marketing.
The rates: the source contradicts itself
This is the main thing that needs to be known about the programme. On one and the same page four different sets of rates are named, and they do not coincide:
- in the header of the page — "earn from 20% for each connected client";
- in the table of technical partnership — 50% (up to 10 clients), 60% (11–20), 70% (21 and more);
- in the comparison of programmes — referral 25% of the sum of the payment;
- in the questions section — 20% (1–2 clients), 30% (3–9), 45% (10 and more).
The discrepancy is not resolved. A note on the page specifies that what is described are "approximate terms of technical partnership" — that is, the tool itself does not pass these figures off as final. Planning an income by any one of the four sets is not possible; the rate will have to be found out in correspondence.
The rest of the terms
The recurrence of the payouts is not explicitly described. For technical partnership a monthly bonus for services is named — 20%. The term of the accruals and whether they repeat with each payment by the client the page does not stipulate separately.
Attachment of the client. The history of clicks is kept for 30 days. Under referral partnership the client is attached to the partner for half a year, under partner partnership — forever. Here the source is concrete, although the names of the programmes in this paragraph and in the list of four types diverge.
Who is admitted. Systems integrators, developers of software and of AI solutions, marketers and digital agencies, sales departments and advertising agencies, bloggers. Cooperation is under an offer contract, the application is through a form; registration and obtaining a link, in the tool's words, take up to 5 minutes. The terms of the technical programme are in force for new partners from 1 January 2025.
Where the terms are. There is no separate document for the affiliate programme as such. The link "terms of the offer" (usloviya oferty) on the page leads to the general terms of use — that is, to a document written not about partnership.
What it will not do
It will not let you calculate the commission in advance. Four sets of rates on one page are not a choice of four but an unresolved contradiction, and the tool itself marks some of the figures as approximate.
It will not name a payout threshold. A minimum sum for withdrawal is not stated on the page; it is only said that payouts go within the settlement period.
It will not name the method of transferring the money. There are no concrete payment routes. Only the fork is known: under referral and technical partnership the payment goes through Chat2Desk, while under partner partnership the partner himself takes the payment from the clients — that is, in one of the variants the tool transfers you nothing at all, you receive the money directly.
It will not show a separate contract for the affiliate programme. There is no such document on the site.
