Team chat, messages and phone

Your team talks in one place. Your customers hear back fast.

Team chat is for coworkers: direct messages and group chats inside Franpos, away from the customer inbox. Beside it sit Messages for texts and web chat, and a Phone that works like a desk phone in the app.

One inbox. Every channel.

Each conversation shows a small tag for its channel, such as Text or Web chat.

  • Reply from the thread, drop a file onto it to attach, and press Call to phone the customer
  • Quick replies insert a saved message, and Suggest a reply drafts one for you to review before sending
  • If a colleague is typing in the same conversation, you see a note so you do not both answer
  • New message starts a text to a customer, and Create customer links an unknown number
  • Pin, Archive, Merge with... to combine two threads for the same customer

Questions about Team chat

Can customers see Team chat?
No. Team chat is only for staff. Customers write to you in Messages by text or website chat.
How do I start a group chat?
Open Team chat, press New chat, then New group, and give the group a name. Starting a direct message or a group each needs its own permission.
Why does my list of colleagues look empty?
Colleagues appear once they are added to the company as employees. Add them on the Employees page.
Can I send promotional texts from Messages?
Messages is for conversations. For bulk or promotional texts, use Marketing so consent and send limits are checked.
What does it cost?
Every business is different, so we quote per location. Book a demo and we will walk you through it.
