The following messages can be found in the Actionable tab:

  • Drafts will appear at the top of the list in italics

  • A blue dot Screen_Shot_2021-06-30_at_10.59.32_AM.png  indicates a new unread message

  • yellow dot Screen_Shot_2021-06-30_at_10.57.38_AM.png indicates a message has been opened by your office, but has not yet been responded to
  • A red dot Screen_Shot_2021-06-30_at_11.00.30_AM.png indicates a message that was undeliverable

Messages can be removed from and returned to the Actionable tab.

If you have multiple departments in your office's phone configuration, you’ll see the department along with any tags underneath the customer name or number in Messages.

Filter Your Messages Inbox

Once tags are created and applied, you can filter your messages with your tag(s). 

To filter your inbox,

If you have multiple departments in your phone configuration, you’ll be able to filter messages by your main line and department by using the Carrot_Down.svg dropdown at the top of the messages page and in individual customer messages.

When filtering by one department in a specific chat, you can see the individual message thread. If you choose to respond, it will be from the correct number of the department chat you have open.

If you filter by all departments in a chat with a customer, you see recent messages sent and received separated by the name of the department. You cannot respond from here.
