Creating Conversations (Email, SMS, Phone)
My email didn’t send
- Ensure you selected a connected email account (Settings → Emails)
- Confirm recipient email is valid
- Check if the contact is DND-enabled (DND blocks outgoing)
My SMS didn’t send
- Ensure a phone number is configured in Settings → Phone
- Confirm the contact is not DND or Blocked
- If telephony isn’t active, confirm A2P 10DLC is completed (required for SMS/calls)
I can’t call from the Inbox
- Make sure at least one phone number exists (Buy Numbers)
- Ensure calling permissions are enabled for your user on that number
- Confirm availability rules aren’t routing calls unexpectedly
Adding Tickets, Notes, and Reminders from Inbox
Ticket didn’t link to the conversation
- Ensure you created it from within the conversation window
- If created elsewhere, link it manually from the conversation details panel (Tickets section)
Reminder isn’t showing
- Check if you filtered the reminders to “current conversation only”
- Confirm you selected a date/time and clicked Create
Notes are not visible to another teammate
- Notes are internal, but visibility can still depend on roles/permissions
- Confirm the teammate has access to that conversation/contact
Managing Conversations (Search, Filter, Assign, Favorites, Bulk Actions)
Search shows no results
- Clear filters first (filters can hide results)
- Try partial search (first name instead of full name)
- Confirm the conversation exists under the right channel
Filters aren’t working
- You must click Apply Filters after selecting them
- Use Reset to remove all filters and start over
I can’t reply to the conversation
- The conversation may be currently handled by AI/another assignee
- Click Take over to reply as a human
- If the contact is in DND, outgoing replies are blocked
Deleted a conversation by mistake
- Conversation deletion is irreversible
- Confirm before deleting, especially when bulk-selecting
Tickets/notes/reminders don’t appear
- Check the filter: “current conversation” vs “all conversations”
- Confirm you’re looking at the right conversation thread
Threads look incomplete
- Filter may be limiting by type (email vs phone vs live chat)
- Remove date range filters and retry
Inbox Settings (Email, Phone, Live Chat)
Gmail account not connecting
- Try signing in again
- Make sure you’re using the correct Google account
- Remove and reconnect if needed
Phone number not usable for all team members
- Check “users allowed to make calls” settings for that number
- Ensure the user has permissions to use telephony features
Live chat widget isn’t appearing
- Confirm widget code is installed on your site header/footer
- Check if you deployed/published changes on your website platform
Why can’t I send messages to a contact?
- Check if the contact is in DND
- Check if the contact is Blocked
- If AI is assigned, you may need to Take over before replying
Best Practices for Inbox
- Use Favorites for high-priority conversations
- Filter by Unread + Assignee to prioritize response queues
- Always check Details panel before replying for context
- Add tickets for anything that needs tracking
- Use reminders for time-based follow-ups
- Assign AI agent to live chat for instant responses
- Use DND to pause outreach; use Block for full stop
