What is Message Search?
Message search lets you find specific conversations, messages, or customer interactions across all your messaging history. Good search is crucial when you're handling hundreds or thousands of conversations—you need to quickly find that message where a customer mentioned a specific order number or complaint.
Why Message Search Matters
- Find past conversations instantly
- Locate specific information without scrolling
- Search across all channels from one search box
- Reference previous conversations when customers follow up

Conversation History
Conversation history is the complete record of all messages exchanged with a customer across time and channels. Good conversation history means anyone on your team can pick up where someone else left off without asking the customer to repeat themselves.
Message Filtering
Message filtering lets you narrow down your inbox to see only specific types of conversations—like showing only unread messages, only Instagram DMs, only conversations assigned to you, or only messages labeled 'urgent'. Filtering helps you focus on what matters right now without getting overwhelmed by the full inbox.
