  • New conversations open a thread in the Slack, Discord or Teams channel you pick.
  • A reply in the thread goes to the customer on their own channel, from your business account.
  • The inbox stays the record: the thread is a window onto it, not a second copy.

The basics

What is omnichannel customer service?

Support that meets customers on whichever channel they choose and answers all of it from one place, so the channel is their decision and never the team's problem.

Multichannel is having the accounts. Omnichannel is one inbox, one contact and one history behind them, so a customer who starts on Instagram and follows up by email is one conversation to you. Four terms carry the whole thing.

Channel
A place a customer can write from: your website, a WhatsApp number, an Instagram account, a Telegram bot, an email address. Each connected account is one channel.
Shared inbox
The one list every channel lands in, with a mark on each row for where it came from. The team reads and answers everything here, and the reply goes back the way it came.
Team window
Slack, Discord or Microsoft Teams mirroring the inbox: a thread per conversation in a channel you pick, so people who live in those tools can answer without leaving them.
Contact
The person behind the messages, whichever channel they used. One record joins their chat, their WhatsApp and their email, so the history is one history.
FAQ

Channel questions

Three on Mini, five on Essentials and twenty-five on Plus; the one channel on Free is your website chat. Each connected account counts as one channel.

  • Each account is one channel: a WhatsApp number, a Telegram bot, an email address, a website widget.
  • Upgrading adds channels immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the period.
  • One widget key per domain: a second site means a second workspace.
