Conversations

Overview

The Conversations page lets you browse, inspect, and search through all bot-user interactions.

• On the left: a list of conversations, ordered from most recent to oldest (within your selected time frame).

• On the right: the full message history for the selected conversation.

By default, the list shows conversations from the last 48 hours. Use the filters to adjust the date range.

Key Information Displayed

• User Name
  Shown when available from authenticated channels (Messenger). Otherwise, users are labeled as Anonymous User.

• Conversation ID
  The last 4 characters of the conversation's ID, like #6873, shown in the list and at the top of the conversation. Click it to copy the link to the conversation. Anonymous users all read Anonymous User: the ID tells their conversations apart.

🤖 Bot Architecture

You can’t filter on deleted use cases, intents, or actions.

🔠 Search by conversation ID

Use the search bar above the filters to find a conversation from its ID. You can paste a conversation link, a full ID or its last characters, with or without the #, for example #6873.

A full ID or a link shows the matching conversation in the list: click it to open it. With 3 characters or more, the list keeps loading the selected period, 200 conversations at a time and up to 1,000, and shows the ones that match. With fewer than 3 characters, only the conversations already loaded are searched. Narrow the date range to search further back.

Conversation Details View

On the right-hand panel, you can see all message exchanges:

• User Messages (left side)
  Includes quick replies and typed inputs.

• Bot Replies & Pushes (right side)
  Scheduler and WhatsApp pushes are shown.

• Agent Messages
  If handover occurred, the agent’s messages are visible.

• Clicked Links
  Links clicked by the user are highlighted — a good signal of effectiveness.

Actions on Messages

Hover over a bot message to access quick tools:

• Copy Direct Link – get a direct URL to that message.

• Create an Issue – flag messages that need follow-up or revision.

Once created, issues are marked in the conversation list and linked directly.
