Inbox
The Inbox is where all inbound messages from contacts arrive — emails, SMS, and calls — in one place.
What Is the Inbox?
The Inbox organises conversations with contacts across channels:
- Email — replies to your emails, or new inbound emails
- SMS — text messages via Twilio
- Calls — inbound calls, with recordings and transcripts via Recall.ai
Each conversation is linked to a contact record automatically.

Handling a Conversation
Replying to a Message
- Open a conversation
- Type your reply in the message box
- Click Send (or press
Ctrl+Enter)
Use the toolbar to format text, add attachments, or insert a canned response.
Assigning a Conversation
- Open the conversation
- Click the Assign button (top right)
- Select a team member
Or use Auto-routing — set rules in Settings → Inbox → Routing to automatically assign conversations based on channel, keywords, or contact properties.
Resolving a Conversation
Click Resolve when the conversation is complete. It moves to the Resolved view and the contact's activity timeline is updated.
To reopen: find the conversation in Resolved → click Reopen.
Snoozing a Conversation
Click the Snooze button and choose a time (e.g., "Tomorrow morning"). The conversation disappears from your view and reappears at the chosen time.
Canned Responses
Save common replies as canned responses for one-click insertion.
- Go to Settings → Inbox → Canned Responses
- Click + New Canned Response
- Add a title and the response text
- Use
{{contact.firstName}}and other variables for personalisation
In a conversation: type / to search and insert a canned response.
Macros
Macros apply multiple actions to a conversation in one click (e.g., reply + assign + resolve).
- Go to Settings → Inbox → Macros
- Click + New Macro
- Add actions: Send Message, Assign to, Add Label, Resolve, Snooze
- Save
In a conversation: click Run Macro → select the macro.
AI Reply Suggestions
The inbox surfaces AI-generated reply suggestions based on the conversation history and your canned responses.
- Click AI Suggest (sparkle icon) in the reply box
- Review the suggested reply
- Edit if needed, then send
AI suggestions use your workspace's configured AI provider (Settings → AI Platform).
Calls
Inbound calls (via Twilio) appear as conversations in the Inbox.
- Active call: accept or decline from the Inbox notification
- After the call: a call log entry is added to the conversation and the contact's timeline
- Recording: if enabled, a recording link appears in the conversation (Recall.ai integration)
- Transcript: automatically generated and searchable after the call ends
SLA Tracking
Workspace admins can set SLA policies:
- First response time (e.g., reply within 2 hours)
- Resolution time (e.g., resolve within 24 hours)
Conversations approaching or breaching SLA are highlighted in red in the inbox list.
CSAT (Customer Satisfaction)
After a conversation is resolved, an automatic CSAT survey can be sent.
Configure in Settings → Inbox → CSAT:
- Enable/disable per inbox
- Customise the survey question
- Set a delay before sending (e.g., 1 hour after resolve)
View CSAT scores in Reports → Inbox.
