Assign, transfer and add notes

Share chats with your team without the customer noticing.

When several people share one WhatsApp number, these tools keep everyone in sync. The customer never sees any of them.

Assign a chat

At the top of an open chat, use the drop-down to choose who owns it. The chat then appears under that person's Mine tab, and they get a notification.

Transfer to a person or team

  1. Click Transfer.
  2. Choose a teammate or a whole team.
  3. Optionally add a note, for example "Wants a quote for 40 gift boxes, please call today".
  4. Click Transfer.
