The Inbox is your command center. Every conversation from every channel (storefront chat, email, Instagram, Facebook, and campaigns) flows into a single unified view. Whether it’s handled by AI or a human, you see it here.

What you can do

  • Monitor conversations in real-time across all channels.
  • Respond directly: compose emails, send chat messages, reply to DMs.
  • Take over from AI to handle a conversation personally.
  • Assign conversations to team members or teams.
  • Set statuses and priorities to track progress.
  • Add labels for categorization and routing.
  • Leave internal notes visible only to your team.
  • View customer data: profile, orders, journey, and metadata.
  • Search across all messages, notes, and metadata with full-text search.
