How can I tell what channel a customer is contacting me from?

In the Inbox, messages show a small indicator based on the channel:

  • Messenger – No icon is shown.

  • Email – An envelope icon is displayed.

This helps you quickly see if a message came from Messenger or Email.

How do I download a transcript of a conversation?

If you need to share a conversation, feed it to external AI, or keep a record of it, you can easily copy or download its transcript as a .txt file.

Just go to a conversation and click the three dots to see options, then click “Copy transcript or “Export transcript”:

What’s included in the transcript?

  • All replies in the conversation

  • The timestamps of every reply

  • The date and time the conversation was created (in your workspace’s timezone)

  • AI agent’s replies

  • The customer and teammate’s names

What’s not included?

  • The different states of the conversations (snoozed, unsnoozed, closed)

  • Internal notes

  • How and when the conversation was assigned

  • CC/BCC

  • Images

  • Attachments

  1. Click the three dots next to the message •••
