What is the Team Inbox?

The team inbox shows all conversations that are running over your WhatsApp application on Mteja. The feature is equipped with the following key features:

  1. Agents to auto-assign: this allows users to be auto-assigned to conversations.

  2. Analyse Sentiment: A useful natural language processing (NLP) tool that can automatically analyse and categorise conversations with your audience as positive, negative, or neutral.

  3. Status Options: a list of options that can be assigned to a conversation, to denote the context or indicate at what point the conversation is. For instance Open and Closed etc.

  4. Inbound Messaging Mode: refers to customer-initiated conversations that the team inbox can facilitate. The available messaging modes are:

  • Auto-reply; users can set up an auto-response message anytime a customer chats you, to acknowledge the receipt of their message.
