Customer contacts, group chats, and agent collaboration

Step 1 / 5
Connected channels

The left rail groups connected channels by type with their status.

Channels are the places where customers contact your business. Once connected, messages from different sources enter the same Inbox and attach to customer profiles.

See available channels#

Open Channels to see what your workspace can connect. Availability may differ by deployment, plan, or integration status. The current page is authoritative.

Channel cards show connection state and required actions. A channel must be fully configured and healthy before it can reliably send and receive messages.

Three checks after connecting#

  1. Inbound: Send a message from the customer side and confirm that it appears in the Inbox.
  2. Human reply: Reply from the Inbox and confirm that the customer actually receives it.
  3. AI reception: Enable the channel under AI employees → Agent setup, then start a new customer-side test.

Channels and apps are different#

Website, Telegram, and email are messaging channels. Store, CRM, and other business systems are usually connected as apps or plugins. They can provide order, customer, or inventory capabilities without being messaging channels themselves.

When a channel is unhealthy#

Open the channel details and inspect authorization, credentials, and connection state. After reconnecting, repeat both inbound and outbound tests. An “accepted” backend status is not proof of final delivery; verify on the customer side.
