## What the Conversations Inbox Actually Does

Conversations merges communication channels into one thread.

You see:

- SMS and MMS
- Emails
- Call logs and recordings
- Voicemails
- Facebook and Instagram messages

One contact, one history.

---

## Core Conversation Elements

### Contact Threads

Each contact has a single timeline.

- Messages
- Calls
- Notes
- Tasks

Context stays intact, even when team members change.

---

### Assignment and Ownership

Every conversation can have an owner.

- Manual assignment
- Auto-assignment via automations
- Team routing

Ownership prevents dropped replies.

---

### Internal Notes

Notes stay private.

- Handoffs
- Call summaries
- Follow-up context

Clients never see them. Teams rely on them.

---

### Ongoing Client Communication

- Support questions
- Status updates
- Billing follow-up

Result: One place to manage the relationship.

---

### Missed Call Handling

- Call missed
- Voicemail logged
- Auto SMS sent
- Reply continues in thread

Result: Fewer lost opportunities.

---

## Conversations + Automations

Inbox events trigger workflows.

- New inbound message
- Missed call
- No reply after X hours

Automations can:

- Assign owners
- Send alerts
- Escalate conversations

If your inbox does not trigger actions, it is passive.

---

## Inbox Mistakes That Hurt Response Time

- No ownership rules
- Shared inbox with no routing
- No SLA follow-up
- Switching channels mid-thread

Structure beats volume.

Who owns unanswered messages today?

---

## When Conversations Beat Separate Tools

Separate tools fail when:

- Teams grow
- Clients use multiple channels
- Context matters

A unified inbox removes guesswork.
