Block unwanted contacts to prevent receiving further messages. These will be hidden in the archive, but can be unblocked if needed.
Navigate to:
> Customer Profile
> Click "Text" to navigate to the messaging thread with that customer.
> In the text messaging thread with the customer, toggle "Block Conversation" ON to block the customer from sending messages to your shop.
How can I exclude Campaign Messages from appearing in my Inbox?
Sometimes you need to skip the noise, and get straight to direct conversation messages with customers. We have made this easier to do with the Hide Campaigns toggle on the Inbox Tab.
This is on by default, showing only your last direct communication with the customer. This keeps your inbox focused on live, direct conversations. If you want to see campaign previews in inbox or sent, simply turn the toggle off.
How to Understand Messaging Folders:
-
Inbox: All conversations that contain at least one inbound message from the customer. Per your feedback, the message thread will now live in the inbox until you achieve it.
-
Sent: All conversions that contain at least one outbound message.
-
All: Includes all non archived message threads.
-
Scheduled: Shows messages that are scheduled and will be sent out soon
-
Archived: Conversations that are no longer active, with functionality remaining similar to before.
Inbox Search Capabilities:
You can now search by message content or by customer name, simply select a choice from the search bar drop down.
