Inbox benefits
Organize conversations smarter
Understand which conversations require your attention, thanks to the separate folders and new, clearer conversation counters.
Be there for your coworkers
Access your colleagues’ conversations with one click. Manage your team and assist your coworkers in a blink of an eye.
New Solved conversations folder
Sort out the conversations when they’re finished. When your discussions end, solve them to see a convenient preview of all your closed conversations in one designated folder.
One view for tickets and conversations
No need to jump between tabs. When you’re done with the most urgent chats, access tickets immediately.
Using the Inbox
You’ll automatically see our new One Inbox view by logging in to your Tidio account. You can later decide whether to stay with our new, more powerful view for managing your conversations or return to the old Conversations view by disabling it in your Tidio panel.
Live Conversations
In your One Inbox, you’ll see three main preview options for the live chat conversations that contain three tabs: Unassigned, My open, and Solved folders.
Unassigned
This tab shows you all incoming chats from your website visitors that haven’t been assigned to any operators. It’s the main folder from which you can pick up the conversation to join it and assign it to you as an operator.
My Open
This tab shows you all the conversations currently assigned to you as an operator.
Solved
This tab shows you all your finished chats. It’s a form of history or archive with all your finished conversations that you solved.
The red counters next to each tab will inform you about new messages from your website visitors.
Operators' activity
Under the Operators tab, you’ll see a list of operators through which you can oversee their work and help them with their cases.
You can see the preview of other operators’ conversations without joining them by clicking on the chat under the chosen operator. The operator & user will not be able to see that you’re previewing the conversation. If you would also like to join the chat and be able to write, click on the blue join conversation button.
Views
Conversation Views can help you prioritize your workload. They can help you learn about the conversation topics without even reading them and take care of those needing an urgent response first. It's a great help for all order-related issues & questions. It can help you and your team to manage the time more efficiently by dividing the conversation topics & channels between your operators or teams.
The Views feature enables automatic (AI) visitors' intent & channel recognition. When the intents are recognized, the conversations are grouped by the topics of the intents. Messages that come from Messenger & Instagram are visible inside the specified channels folders.
Custom View
To help you create the most convenient view for your Inbox, you can customize the views to adjust them to your preferences.
At this moment, you can choose from the following topics:
- Account
- Discount code
- Generic support question
- Gift card
- Gratitude
- Greetings
- Job
- Location
- Open hours
- Order cancellation
- Order change
- Order damaged/wrong
- Order status
- Order support
- Payment
- Phone
- Pricing
- Product
- Product exchange
- Refund
- Return
- Shipping change
- Shipping delivery issue
- Shipping policy
- Shipping price
- Subscription cancelation
- Trial
- Wholesale
and three communication channels:
- Messenger
Click on the plus (+) button next to the Views menu to add more views to your current list.
Type in the name of the view that you will see on your Views navigation menu (you can also add an emoji icon), and decide who is going to see this specific view (it can be your whole team, only you, or selected operators).
From the Select source drop-down menu, use Live conversations:
You can then start adding conditions. These will determine what the view will actually show, according to the filters you set. For example, you can select a different channel, like Messenger, Instagram, or WhatsApp - so the view will only list chats from those channels:
Most importantly, you can select the Intent - this determines (with the help of AI) what the visitor may need from your support team. You can select from a variety of basic intents:
When you’re ready, click the blue Create button to confirm your choices.
Once visitors start messaging you and communicate their intent (e.g. if they want to cancel an order), the appropriate view will list this incoming chat. Of course, it will also be listed in the Unassigned folder, as always:
To edit existing views - click on a chosen view from the list and then on the three dots next to the topic’s name at the top. Use the edit option:
Now, you'll see the editing window, where you can adjust the view once again.
Please note: deleting the view will not delete the messages inside the view. The messages will still be available in other tabs like Unassigned or Solved.
Customizing the intent views in Tidio allows operators to tailor their workspace to their specific needs, making it easier and faster to respond to incoming messages. By prioritizing particular views and information, operators can work more efficiently and effectively, ultimately improving the customer experience.
How do Views work?
When a new Unassigned message that contains one of the intent topics arrives or comes from the Instagram/Messenger channels - it's automatically classified into one of the intents or channels folders with a notification (the message must be more than one word long to be classified).
All conversations with the intent or channel picked by the operator (also the conversations previously assigned to the operator) will be visible to the operator in that view.
Please keep in mind that, right now, only conversations in English can be classified as topics, and our system only looks at the first message sent by the visitor. That means the messages with only one word, such as "hello" will not be classified into topic groups.
