Staff members have a shared view of all conversations. For example, if one staff member replies to a client, other staff members can see the reply if they have permission to view the conversation.

You can view conversations from the appointment details, client details, and Inbox app, as shown below.

Open conversations vs. closed conversations

An open conversation is an active conversation that may require a response from a staff member.

A conversation will be considered open if:

  • A text or web chat message is received

  • A text or web chat reply is sent

  • A phone call is missed

  • A voicemail is received

The Inbox app displays a badge if there are any open conversations. The number on the badge reflects the number of open conversations across all locations enabled for the staff member in Apps > Staff Members > Locations. If there are more than 10 open conversations, the badge displays a dot instead of a number.

An appointment icon lets you easily see if a client has an open conversation. In the appointment details, the message icon will have an orange dot if the client has an open conversation.

A closed conversation is an inactive conversation that usually doesn’t require a response from a staff member.

While conversations can be closed manually, they will be closed automatically after three days if there is no activity. To adjust this time window, go to Apps > Settings > Automated Messages > Advanced Settings > Auto-Close Inactive Conversations.
