The Multi-Channel Inbox centralizes every conversation so your team can communicate faster, stay organized, and deliver a seamless experience across channels.

The interface of the Multi Channel Inbox

Your inbox brings together messages from connected channels such as Website Chat, SMS, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Gmail, Team Chat, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger, so nothing gets missed and everything stays in context.

With the Multi-Channel Inbox, your business can:

  • Run marketing and prospecting campaigns with existing customers and prospects

  • Switch channels seamlessly (for example, from Email to SMS) without losing context

  • Maintain one visible conversation thread per customer, prospect, or service provider—accessible to all administrators

2. Customers, Prospects, Service Providers & Email Contacts Search Bar

This makes it easy to communicate with customers, prospects, or service providers without switching tools.
