Inbox Management

Your Saifa AI inbox is the central hub for every customer conversation โ€” across all connected channels, all in one place.

Instead of switching between WhatsApp, LINE, Lazada, and other apps, your entire team manages every message from a single screen. Conversations can be filtered, assigned, labeled, and closed โ€” giving you full visibility and control over your customer support workflow.


Inbox Layout

The inbox is divided into three main areas:

Left Sidebar โ€” Navigation and filters Conversation List โ€” All chats matching your current view Chat Window โ€” The active conversation and customer details


The left sidebar helps you navigate between different views of your inbox.

Conversation Analytics

This feature uses AI to analyze the full conversation and surface insights that help your team understand the customer, improve responses, and take smarter actions.

Conversation Analytics

Create Order Tab

Switch to the "Create Order" tab to create a new order for the customer directly from the inbox, without leaving the conversation.

Fill in the following fields and click "Confirm" to submit:

  • Product โ€” select the product(s) the customer wants to order

  • Phone Number โ€” customer's contact number for the order

  • Shipping Customer Name โ€” name to appear on the shipping label

  • Shipping Details โ€” customer's full shipping address

  • Payment Method โ€” e.g. Cash on Delivery

  • Delivery Profile โ€” select the delivery option to use

  • Discount โ€” enter a fixed amount (e.g. 100) or percentage (e.g. 10%) if applicable

The Order Summary at the bottom updates automatically showing the Subtotal and Order Total before you confirm.


Labels

Labels help you categorize and track conversations across your team.

Examples from real usage:

  • ๐ŸŸก Waiting for payment

  • ๐Ÿ”ต Returning customer

  • ๐ŸŸข Waiting to ship

How to Add a Label

  1. Open the conversation

  2. In the right panel under Labels, click "+"

  3. Select an existing label or type to create a new one

  4. The label appears immediately on the conversation in the list

๐Ÿ’ก Labels are color-coded and visible in the conversation list, so your team can triage at a glance without opening each chat.


Assigning Conversations

Distribute work across your team by assigning conversations to agents or teams.

Assign from the Conversation List

Click "Assign To" directly on any conversation in the list and select an agent โ€” no need to open the conversation first.

Assign from Inside the Conversation

  1. Open the conversation

  2. Click the person icon at the top right of the chat window

  3. Select an agent or team from the dropdown


Open, Follow Up & Close

Managing conversation status keeps your inbox organized and your team focused.

Open โ€” conversation is active and needs a response Follow Up โ€” conversation needs attention later; moves to the Follow Ups tab Close โ€” conversation is resolved; moves out of the active queue

๐Ÿ’ก If a customer sends a new message after a conversation is closed, it automatically reopens and returns to the Open queue.


Spam Inbox

Unwanted or irrelevant messages can be moved to the Spam Inbox to keep your queue clean.

  • Access via Spam Inbox in the left sidebar

  • Mark a conversation as spam using the " โ‹ฎ " menu inside the chat

  • Spam is reversible โ€” open the Spam Inbox and select "Not Spam" to restore


Inbox Tips

Use "Your Inbox" as your daily workspace โ€” it shows only conversations assigned to you, so you stay focused on what's yours.

Check "Unassigned" regularly โ€” new conversations from customers who haven't been routed yet appear here. Assign them quickly so nothing falls through the cracks.

Add labels before closing โ€” label conversations before marking them closed so your analytics and reporting stay accurate.

Use Suggest AI for faster replies โ€” click โœจ to get a suggested reply from Saifa AI based on your Knowledge Base. Edit and send in seconds.
