For a shop in London, a question about a jacket may arrive as a direct message while another customer comments on a post. A unified social inbox brings supported conversations into a common view while each customer keeps using their chosen channel. What appears there depends on the accounts connected and the access each platform allows.
Unified social inbox
A unified social inbox is a shared workspace for reading and replying to messages and comments from connected social accounts. It lets a business manage supported conversations in one place.
How it works in Kwamle Media
Connect your own business accounts
Link your business's pages and accounts through each platform's official login. The unified inbox brings supported messages and comments together, using the official connections and permissions each platform provides.
Assign the conversation to a teammate
Route a conversation to the relevant department and assign a person to answer it. Use team assignment and departments to organise work, such as product questions for sales and exchange requests for support.
Organise conversations with tags
Add tags by topic or stage, such as "new order", "exchange" or "follow up". These labels help your team find the conversations that need attention.
Take over when a person needs to answer
Open the conversation and take it over from the bot. The bot stops replying in that chat, and your teammate can read the history and continue in the same thread. If the teammate uses an AI-suggested reply, they review it, edit it if needed and send it themselves.
Common questions
Does a unified social inbox include comments?
It can include comments as well as direct messages. The types of conversation available depend on the connected channels and what their official connections allow.
Does a unified inbox need a chatbot?
No. The inbox is where conversations are organised, and people can answer manually. Automated replies are a separate function that may be added to that workflow.
Can it show messages from accounts I do not manage?
It is designed for accounts your business owns or is authorised to manage. Connecting an account uses the platform's official permissions; it does not grant access to unrelated private messages.
When is a unified inbox useful for a small shop?
It can help when customer questions arrive through several channels or when teammates share the work of answering them. Agree who handles each type of question so the shared view supports clear responsibilities.
