    Hi — got your number from the form. What plans cover dental?

    10:42

    Hi Jordan! Yes, several plans do. Want me to send a quick summary?

    10:43

    Yes please. Also curious about waiting periods.

    10:45

    Got it — sending two options now and a 1-pager on waiting periods.

    Three Pillars. One Inbox.

    One Shared Team Inbox

    Every SMS thread lives in one inbox your whole team can see. Assignments, @mentions, and internal notes keep handoffs clean — no more lost conversations.

    Smart Templates & Quick Replies

    Reusable templates with merge fields, plus quick-reply chips for the answers you send a hundred times a week. Reply in two taps from anywhere.

    Mobile + Desktop Parity

    Identical experience on the road and at your desk. Threads sync instantly, attachments stream in, and read receipts are accurate across every device.

    Inside the Inbox

    Everything Your Team Needs. Nothing It Doesn't.

    Assignments & @mentions

    Route conversations to the right teammate, loop in a manager with @mention, and keep an audit trail of every handoff.

    Templates & quick replies

    Reusable snippets with merge fields, plus one-tap quick-reply chips for the answers you send most.

    MMS, files & links

    Send images, PDFs, voice memos, and links inside the same thread. Available on every supported number.

    SLA timers + saved views

    See response timers on every thread. Build saved views like "Unanswered > 1h" so nothing slips through.

    How It Works

    Three Steps. Zero Friction.

    01

    Thread Lands

    Incoming SMS appears in the shared inbox in real time. Everyone with access can see it.

    02

    Auto-Assign

    Smart routing assigns the conversation based on rules, round-robin, or load balancing.

    03

    Reply or Escalate

    Teammates reply directly, drop an internal note, or @mention a manager — without ever leaving the thread.
