# Conversations inbox

> Find, triage, and work customer conversations in IrisAgent: queues, filters, owners, statuses, internal notes, and resolving

The **Conversations** inbox shows every conversation your AI agent has had, across chat and voice. It is where your team sees who is waiting for a person, joins live chats, emails customers, and tracks each conversation to resolution.

To open it, go to **Activity → Conversations** in the left navigation.

## Find a conversation

### Queues

Use the tabs above the list to focus on what needs attention:

| Queue | Shows |
| - | - |
| **All** | Every conversation that matches your filters |
| **Waiting** | Visitors who asked for a person and are waiting for a teammate to join |
| **Live** | Live chats a teammate is currently handling |
| **Mine** | Conversations assigned to you |

Waiting conversations are pinned to the top of the list, followed by live ones. The **Waiting** and **Live** counts are highlighted whenever they are above zero, so keep an eye on them.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The inbox refreshes about every 15 seconds. There are no browser notifications or sounds yet, so keep the inbox open while your team is on shift.

### Channel tabs and search

* **All / Chat / Voice** at the top switches between channels.
* The search box matches a visitor's name, any message text, or a chat ID.

### Filters

Click **Filters** to narrow the list:

* **Chatbot or source:** pick one or more chatbot configurations, or a conversation source (**Customer channels**, **Agent Chat**, **Dashboard preview**).
* **Status:** New, In progress, or Resolved.
* **Assignee:** Unassigned, or a specific teammate.
* **Date:** Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Last 90 days.
* **Agent requested:** only conversations where the customer asked for a person.

Click **Clear all** to reset. **Export to CSV** downloads the filtered list.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The inbox loads your most recent conversations plus every chat that is waiting or live. To open an older conversation, use a direct link to it.

### Reading the list

Each row shows the contact, the channel, and a preview of the last message. Anonymous website visitors get a friendly generated name, such as "Calm Falcon", so you can tell them apart. Chips show where a conversation stands: **Waiting for agent**, **Live · \<teammate>**, **Agent requested**, or **Resolved**.

## Work a conversation

Click a conversation to open its thread. The middle pane shows the full timeline: AI answers (tagged **Bot**), teammate replies (tagged **Agent**), internal notes, and any emails sent.

### Reply, email, or add a note

The composer at the bottom has three tabs:

* **Chat** sends a message into the customer's chat window. This is available for website chats when [live chat](/helpdesk/Live-Chat) is on. Press **Enter** to send and **Shift+Enter** for a new line.
* **Email** sends an email to the conversation's contact. See [Email replies](/helpdesk/Email).
* **Note** adds an internal note. Only your team can see notes.

Voice calls cannot receive chat replies. Use an email or a note instead.

### Take over a chat

If a website chat is still with the bot, click **Take over from bot** to step in, or simply send a message from the **Chat** tab. See [Live chat](/helpdesk/Live-Chat) for the full flow.

### Status, owner, and priority

The details panel on the right lets you set:

| Field | Options |
| - | - |
| **Status** | New, In progress, Resolved |
| **Owner** | Unassigned, or any teammate |
| **Priority** | Normal, High |

IrisAgent fills these in for you as a conversation moves:

* When a customer asks for a person, the conversation becomes **New** with **High** priority.
* When a teammate takes over, it becomes **In progress** and is assigned to them.
* Conversations the AI fully handled start as **Resolved**.

### Mark resolved or reopen

Click **Mark resolved** when you're done. If a live chat is still open, resolving it also ends the chat and hands the customer back to the bot. Click **Reopen** to move a resolved conversation back to **In progress**.

### Contact and conversation details

The right-hand panel also shows:

* **Contact:** name, email, and phone. Click **View and edit contact** to update it. A **Possible duplicate** chip means another contact may be the same person.
* **Captured details:** information a procedure collected, such as an order number.
* **Conversation info:** when it started, its channel, source, chatbot, and conversation ID.

Use **Collapse details panel** to give the thread more room.

## Improve AI answers from the inbox

Hover over any AI answer and click **Revise** to correct how the AI answers that kind of question. See [Revise chatbot answers](/configuring-ai-and-automation/Revise-Chatbot-Answers).
