Messages from the same person stay in one thread

Each connected account feeds the same message list. When a contact switches from Instagram to WhatsApp, the conversation continues with the earlier context beside it.

Understood. Training stays Tuesday 10 June at 14:00. The help centre remains private.TAB
Message

Alder Studio, a software agency, working a client launch. Slack, WhatsApp, Signal and email threads sit in the same list, ordered by who is waiting on an answer.

One contact across connected networks

A client writes on Signal in the morning and emails a document that afternoon. CommunicationOS links those accounts to one person, so nobody has to ask the client to repeat themselves.

Cross-network matching

Phone numbers and email addresses link the same person across WhatsApp, Signal, SMS and Discord.

Thread merging

Merge two conversations about the same project into one timeline. Every attachment and timestamp stays visible.

Number updates

When a contact changes phone number, add the new line. The earlier conversations stay attached to the person.

Splitting a profile

If two people share an office number, split the profiles in one action. No messages are deleted.

Keep the history when somebody leaves

When a teammate leaves, their client conversations stay in your archive. Reassign the company WhatsApp Business number to whoever picks the work up, and the new owner reads the agreed dates, the files and the open questions in the thread itself.

Cut the account access

Remove the person from the dashboard or from your identity provider and their session ends.

Reassign the conversations

Route their open threads and active projects to whoever picks the work up.

Read the earlier context

The new owner opens the thread and reads the agreed dates, the files and the open questions.

messages and files stay with the workspace during handover

Work together on direct messages

Assign a conversation to one teammate, mention a colleague for advice and keep internal notes on the thread. The person on the other side sees only the reply.

Direct assignment

Hand a conversation to a named teammate so one person answers it.

Internal notes

Leave a note inside the thread that only your team can read.

Teammate mentions

Tag a colleague with @name to pull them into a thread for advice.

Round-robin routing

Distribute incoming conversations evenly across everyone on shift.

Thread permissions

Keep a pricing discussion closed while the delivery thread on the same project stays open.

Saved views

Filter by label, language or unread status and pin the result to the sidebar.

Rules run on the incoming message

An incoming message is checked against your rules as it lands. A question about a client launch routes to the account owner, and a billing question routes to whoever handles invoices.

A rule can read the contact, the label, the project, the language and the shift roster.

Set a reply target and watch the timer

Choose a reply window per network or per client. A timer counts down on the conversation. When a first reply misses the window, CommunicationOS tells the team lead, then the account lead.
