Inbox Overview

The Inbox is the central hub for all customer conversations in QuantixOne CRM. Every incoming message — whether via WhatsApp, SMS, or Email — appears here as a conversation thread. Your team can monitor, respond to, and manage all customer communication from one place.


Click Conversations in the left sidebar to open the Inbox.

The Conversation List

The Inbox displays all conversations with the most recent activity at the top. Each row in the list shows:

  • Contact Name — The person the conversation is with.
  • Last Message Preview — A snippet of the most recent message.
  • Timestamp — When the last message was sent or received.
  • Unread Badge — A count of unread messages in that conversation.
  • Star Icon — Whether the conversation has been starred for priority.
  • Channel Icon — Which channel was used (WhatsApp, SMS, or Email).

Searching Conversations

To find a specific conversation, use the Search bar at the top of the Inbox. You can search by:

  • Contact name
  • Email address
  • Phone number

Filtering the Inbox

Use the Filter options to narrow down the conversation list. You can filter by:

  • Channel — Show only WhatsApp, SMS, or Email conversations.
  • Starred — Show only conversations you have starred.
  • Unread — Show only conversations with unread messages.
  • Direction — Show only inbound or outbound conversations.

Click the Filter icon near the top of the Inbox to open the filter options.


Bulk Actions

You can take action on multiple conversations at once. Select conversations by clicking the checkboxes that appear when you hover over each row. Once one or more are selected, the bulk action toolbar appears:

  • Mark as Read — Remove unread badges from selected conversations.
  • Mark as Unread — Re-mark selected conversations as unread.
  • Star / Unstar — Prioritize or deprioritize conversations.
  • Delete — Move selected conversations to the Trash.

The Message Timeline

The conversation timeline shows the complete history of all messages exchanged with the contact — inbound messages from the customer, outbound messages sent by your team, and system events.

Each message in the timeline shows:

  • Sender — Who sent the message (customer or which team member).
  • Timestamp — When the message was sent.
  • Content — The message text, image, document, or other attachment.
  • Delivery Status — The current status of the message (see below).

Message Delivery Status

For outbound messages, QuantixOne shows the delivery status of each message:

StatusMeaning
SentThe message has been submitted to the messaging provider.
DeliveredThe message has been received on the customer's device.
ReadThe customer has opened and read the message.
FailedThe message could not be delivered. See the error details on the message.

Marking a Conversation as Read or Unread

Open a conversation and click the Mark as Unread button (envelope icon) in the top-right of the conversation panel to toggle the read state. Marking as unread will show the conversation with an unread badge in the Inbox list.


Starring a Conversation

Click the Star icon on any conversation — either from the Inbox list or from inside the conversation — to mark it as a priority. Starred conversations can be filtered to the top of the Inbox.
