Team collaboration in Client chats
This article explains how multiple team members can collaborate in client communications through shared chat threads, including using @mentions to invite colleagues and sending internal messages that clients can’t see. It also covers how to change the sender name when messages are sent automatically through pipeline automation.
Involve colleagues to client chats via mentions and internal messages
If several team members have access to one client account, they can communicate with all active users of that account in the same chat thread. Each person involved in the thread will receive a notification when there’s a new message.
This way, team member can, for example, ask colleague about job status, and client will see both the question and the answer.
If you need another team member to join a conversation related to a client project, you can mention them in a chat thread using the @ symbol. This will notify them via email and Inbox+ (as long as notifications are set in their preferences ), and they can join the conversation.
If needed, the internal message could be sent to the other team member right in the same thread. This way, communication will be in one place but clients will not see it. Such messages are suitable for asking colleagues for advice, discussing sensitive topics like pricing, or strategizing to communicate with clients. Use @mentions in internal messages to ensure your colleagues are notified and can contribute effectively.
Consejo
For complex and extensive conversations, such as confirming details before reaching out to a client or discussing non-client-related topics, it’s better to use team chats .
Envía mensajes en nombre de otros miembros del equipo
When a thread is automatically started via pipeline automation , the name of the person who created the chat template appears in the From field. This is the name the recipient will see. However, you can change the name by clicking in the From field and selecting another, whether yours, the firm owner’s or another team member’s.
