Feature

Shared Inbox

Run multi-agent live chat on one WhatsApp number.

Overview

  • Shared team inbox with conversation assignment
  • Templates, notes, and contact context in one pane
  • Suppression and opt-out awareness for outbound messaging

Use Shared Inbox

Problem

One Business number, many agents

Without assignment and shared history, customers get duplicate answers, agents overwrite each other on WhatsApp Web, and managers cannot see queue health.

The shared inbox gives every agent the same conversation timeline with templates, notes, tags, and contact context on your official Business number.

Benefits

Operational benefits

Team coordination

Assignment, notes, and templates keep multiple agents on one Business number without stepping on each other.

Contact 360

Profile, consent, tags, and recent activity for the open conversation — CRM-stored context, not every undocumented Meta signal.

1:1-first design

The shared inbox focuses on customer threads; WhatsApp Groups use a separate module when Meta eligibility allows.

FAQ

Common questions

Does the inbox include WhatsApp Groups?

Groups are supported in a dedicated Groups module when the feature flag and Meta eligibility allow. The main inbox remains 1:1-first for CRM contacts.

Can agents see campaign history for a contact?

Contact timelines include CRM-stored conversation and campaign activity your workspace records — not every Meta Ads or off-platform signal.
