Conversations Screen

Overview 



The Conversations screen enables you and your team to efficiently track, organize, and interact with ongoing conversations with your contacts. From this screen, you can:
  1. Monitor conversations—both assigned and unassigned—and take action as needed by sending simple messages or automated bots. (Admins can view and manage assigned conversations as well.)
  2. Download conversation transcripts for reference.
  3. Send and receive attachments via WhatsApp and Webchat.
When you select a conversation you can:
  1. Move the conversation to another queue.
  2. Tag the conversation with a status.
  3. Add phone numbers to the blocklist.
  4. Close or reopen a conversation (retrieved via Simple or Advanced Search).
  5. Unassign a conversation assigned to yourself (making it visible to other users, as non-admin users typically cannot see each other’s assigned conversations).
Additionally, upon opening a conversation, the Action Panels on the left side of the screen provide:
  1. General conversation information.
  2. A history of actions taken by your team (queue/status changes, notes, etc.).
  3. AI powered insights such as Propensities, Entities, and Conversational Highlights (if enabled for your organization).

How to search for a conversation

Search criteria and results are determined by your organization's level and account role. Admins can view all assigned and unassigned conversations that match the search criteria, while agents can access only their assigned conversations and unassigned ones. Results may also include conversations stored at a child organization level. Additionally, some advanced search criteria, such as organization selection, are available only to admins and not to agents.
To search for conversations associated with a specific phone number, enter the number into the search bar and press the ENTER key on your keyboard. This will retrieve all matching conversations across the queues you have access to, including those from sub-organizations.


Click the FILTER icon to access the Advanced Search screen and configure your search criteria.

You can search by:

  1. Contact Name
  2. Queue
  3. Organization
  4. Conversation Status (Open/Closed/Errored)
Ensure you always select the dates range of your search at the bottom and also at least one of the criteria listed above.
