Replying and assigning
How a conversation moves from arriving to closed.
The inbox lists conversations newest first. Open one and you see the whole history with that customer across every channel they have used — not just this thread.
Assigning
- Assign to yourself when you pick something up, so two people don't answer the same customer.
- Assign to a teammate or a team to hand it over. They get a notification.
- Assign to an AI agent to let it handle the conversation — it is a teammate like any other.
Closing
Close a conversation when it is finished. It leaves the open list but nothing is deleted — if the customer writes again, the thread reopens with its history intact.
Use Snooze for "come back to this on Sunday". The conversation disappears from the open list and returns by itself at the time you chose.
