You can’t send messages when:
  • Conversation is closed
  • A workflow is running (use “Handoff” to take over)

Conversation modes

Handoff

Click “Handoff” when a workflow is running to take control. The workflow pauses immediately and you can reply without the automation interfering. Handoff also activates when a workflow triggers it via HandoffNode.

Notifications

Toggle browser notifications with the bell icon in the conversation list. You’ll get notified for new inbound messages when the tab isn’t focused or you’re viewing a different conversation.

Delivery errors

Failed messages show a red warning icon with the error from WhatsApp. Common causes:
  • 24-hour window expired
  • Template not approved
  • Invalid phone number

Conversation history

The Info tab shows previous conversations with the same phone number: date range, message count, and a link to view the full thread.

Metadata

Conversation metadata (set via API or workflows) appears in the Info tab. Read-only in the inbox.

Assignments

Assign conversations to team members.
