Collaborative Omnichannel Inbox

Empower your team to manage customer conversations together. See who is typing in real time, assign threads to teammates, and write private internal notes without exposing internal discussions to the client.

COLLISION PROTECTION
0 Overlaps
Real-Time Agent Presence

Never send duplicate replies again. Live typing indicators show when another teammate is already answering a customer.

Multi-Player Inbox Collaboration

Collaborative Front Desk Overview

The GN-Apex Inbox brings team members and communications into a shared workspace:

PRESENCE / LIVE

Collision Detection

Live indicators display who is actively viewing or drafting a reply on a thread to prevent duplicate customer responses.

INTERNAL / PRIVATE

Private Team Notes

Leave internal comments and @mention colleagues. Internal notes are highlighted in yellow and never visible to the customer.

WORKFLOW / DELEGATION

Thread Assignment

Assign customer conversations to specific team members. Filter views by 'Assigned to Me' or 'Unassigned'.

CRM / PROFILE

Live Customer Dossier

Side panel automatically loads the customer's purchase history, total lifetime value, and past support tickets.

Real-Time Collision Detection

When multiple support agents work out of the same inbox, customer embarrassment happens when two agents send conflicting replies. GN-Apex uses Redis live presence to show:

  • Eye Icon: “Sarah is viewing this thread”
  • Animated Pencil: “Alex is currently drafting a reply...”

Private Internal Notes (@mentions)

Need a manager's approval before issuing a refund or technical help from a developer? Switch the composer toggle from Reply to Internal Note:

Guaranteed Customer Isolation
Internal notes are permanently isolated with yellow styling. They are never transmitted over email, WhatsApp, or SMS to the customer, ensuring sensitive team discussions remain confidential.

Thread Delegation & Workflows

Keep conversations organized by assigning ownership:

  • Assign to Teammate: Directs the conversation to a colleague with an automatic in-app notification.
  • Status Filters: Toggle between OPEN, SNOOZED, and RESOLVED to keep the team inbox at inbox zero.
