How it works

Teams define SLAs, monitoring, templates, and escalation. Software watches channels 24/7, sends first replies, collects fields, and notifies owners.

Key components

Channel monitoring, auto-reply, qualification, CRM logging, alerts, reporting on response time and conversion.

Examples

Replacing a shared Instagram password with an inbox where AI handles nights and humans handle hot threads by day.

Connecting web forms to WhatsApp follow-up within five minutes.
