Inbox panels
OK! Once you have integrated edrone into your Customer Care channels, it is time to learn how to use the Inbox.
It is divided into two main sections:
Conversation and filter panel
Current conversation panel
Let's take a closer look at each of the panels.
Conversations and filter panel
The conversation and filtering panel is where you and your agents will manage all conversations, filtering them or searching for specific ones.
By default, conversations are sorted by the date of the last message (newest to oldest).
As you also know there are 4 message sources: chat, email, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Each message will be highlighted with an icon assigned to the source.
It is also possible to filter chats by:
Status (open, closed, snoozed)
Assignments (My, Unassigned)
Sources (Chat, Email, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp)
Reading status (read, unread)
In the conversation panel, when you respond to a customer, you have the option to use AI assistance. Artificial intelligence will catch grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. After writing your answer, you can verify it with the "Correct text" button. If something is wrong, AI will catch it and show you in the window, changing the color of the change made to purple, you can accept or reject the proposed changes.
Using the search bar in the filters, you can search for conversations by:
Username
Email address

Inbox is not only used to respond to conversations initiated by customers. It is also possible to create a new email by clicking the plus icon in the top left corner (right next to the Messages header). This message will appear in the conversation list.
That's all there is to know about the Conversations and filter panel. Let's move on to the Current conversation panel!
Current conversation panel
When a conversation is selected on the Conversations and filter panel, it will appear in the Current conversation panel.
Let's go over each element of this section:
Assign to: here you can assign a conversation to a specific agent. Only the assigned agent will receive a notification regarding this conversation.
Snooze: here you can postpone a particular message at a time of your choice. You can use pre-set time slots or choose a custom one. After the specified time, the message will be automatically reopened.
Close conversation: once the customer's needs have been met and their questions answered, the conversation can be closed. It will then be in the "closed" tab.
Template: you have the option to create and use message templates to answer frequently asked questions.
Notes: agents can add internal notes to the conversation that are not visible to the customer. This is useful for reminders or communications between agents. If the customer is identified, any notes added to a conversation with them will be visible in the customer details panel.
Attachments: here you can add an attachment to your message.
View profile: here you will find the details panel about the client, which you will read more about below.
More: You can add here users to the conversation, redirect message to different adress or show conversation history.
