Conversations
The Conversations page is your unified inbox for all customer interactions across email, SMS, WhatsApp, chat, and voice. Every message exchange is tracked as a conversation thread.
Navigating the Inbox
The Conversations page has two main areas:
- Conversation list (left) — All conversations sorted by most recent activity
- Conversation detail (right) — The selected conversation’s full message history
Filtering Conversations
Use the channel filter tabs to narrow your view:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every conversation across all channels |
| Email threads only | |
| SMS | Text message conversations |
| WhatsApp message threads | |
| Chat | Web chat widget conversations |
| Voice | Voice call transcripts and notes |
Additional filters:
- Unread — Conversations with new inbound messages you have not viewed
- Requires Action — Conversations flagged as needing a human response
Reading a Conversation
Click any conversation in the list to view it. The detail panel shows:
- Contact info — Name, email, company, and AI pause status
- Message thread — Chronological list of all messages, both inbound and outbound
- Message metadata — Direction (inbound/outbound), AI-generated flag, delivery status, and intent classification
- Email rendering — Email HTML is rendered inline for rich email content
Each message shows:
- Who sent it (contact, AI agent, or human rep)
- When it was sent
- Delivery status (sent, delivered, bounced, etc.)
- Intent classification (interested, question, objection, etc.)
Composing Messages
You can send messages directly from the conversation detail panel:
- Type your message in the compose area at the bottom.
- Select the channel (email, SMS, etc.) if applicable.
- Click Send.
For email, you can compose rich text with a subject line. AI drafts can be used as a starting point and edited before sending.
AI Drafts
When your AI agent generates a response, it appears as a draft in the conversation. Depending on your Autonomy Controls:
- Full Autonomy — The AI sends immediately without waiting
- Controlled — The AI sends or queues for approval depending on the action’s risk level
- Assisted — Every message goes to the approval queue for human review
Logging LinkedIn Activity
You can log LinkedIn interactions (connection requests, messages, comments) against a conversation to keep a complete record of all touchpoints with a contact.
Internal Notes
Add internal notes to a conversation that are visible to your team but never sent to the contact. Useful for:
- Handoff context between reps
- Recording offline interactions
- Tagging conversations with internal details
Activity Timeline
Each conversation includes an activity timeline showing:
- Messages sent and received
- Meetings booked or cancelled
- Opportunity stage changes
- Sequence enrollments
- AI agent actions
Contact AI Controls
From the conversation detail panel, you can:
- Pause AI — Stop AI outreach for this specific contact
- Resume AI — Re-enable AI outreach
- View the pause reason if one was set
Troubleshooting
Conversations not appearing
- Check that the channel account is active in Settings > Channels.
- Ensure inbound webhooks are properly configured for your channels.
- Verify the contact exists — messages from unknown senders create new contacts automatically.
AI not responding to inbound messages
- Check your Autonomy Controls — make sure the relevant auto-reply intents are enabled.
- Verify an Intake AI agent is assigned to the channel in Settings > Channels.
- Check if AI is paused for the specific contact.
