Omnichannel chatbot: manual reply, bot pause, media, and history on disconnect
The Chatbot inbox now supports human takeover without the bot talking over operators, understands voice notes and images on WhatsApp and Instagram, detects the buyer's language (including Portuguese), and keeps conversation history when you disconnect a channel.
Reply yourself without the bot overlapping
When you reply on a thread — from the inbox or from WhatsApp Business, Instagram, or Gmail — the bot pauses for 30 minutes on that conversation. You can also pause or resume manually. On WhatsApp and Instagram you use the in-thread composer; on Email, Reply opens a rich text editor. Your messages are marked as Manual reply.
Courtesy, frustration, and media
If the bot can't resolve a query on an external channel, the buyer gets a courtesy message (once per conversation) while the draft waits for your review. If the buyer is clearly frustrated, the bot holds the reply and notifies owners. On WhatsApp and Instagram it also processes voice notes and images.
History when disconnecting a channel
Disconnecting Gmail, Instagram, or WhatsApp does not delete that channel's conversations. History stays in the inbox; only new messages stop until you reconnect.
