Filtering Conversations

  • By Channel - Specific WhatsApp device.
  • By Chatbot - Specific chatbot.
  • By Status - All, Assigned, Unassigned, or Unread.
  • By Label - Contacts with a specific label.
  • Search - By customer name or phone number.

AI and Manual Replies

AI replies are marked with an AI badge. If you send a manual reply, the AI pauses for that conversation temporarily and resumes after inactivity.

Customer Details Panel

View and manage:

  • Name and phone number
  • Labels - View and manage labels for this contact.
  • Conversation History - Past messages with this customer.
  • Memory - What the AI remembers about this customer (if AI Memory is enabled).
  • Actions - Clear memory, set labels, or add information to the knowledge base.
You can add messages directly to your AI Knowledge from the Inbox. If a customer asks something useful, save that info for the AI to learn.

Conversation Costs

Token usage is now visible per conversation. You can:

  • See how many tokens each conversation has used.
  • View the split between BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) tokens and Platform tokens.
  • Open a usage modal with date filtering to analyze costs over a specific period.

Wait-for-Reply

The AI waits for customers to finish typing before responding. If a customer sends multiple messages in a row, the AI waits for a pause before replying - so it doesn't interrupt them mid-thought.
