Reply to WhatsApp Messages in the Mobile Inbox
The mobile Inbox brings customer conversations into Brixi. Use its WhatsApp tab to find those threads and reply from a sender connected to your workspace.
Entry pointBrixi mobile app → Home → Inbox → WhatsApp
Who Can Do This
Agents with Inbox access and a connected WhatsApp sender can reply. An account admin manages the workspace's WhatsApp connection and access. The Inbox button appears when the feature is enabled for your workspace.
Find and Reply
- Tap the Inbox button in the mobile app header.
- Select WhatsApp to show WhatsApp conversations. Use Search to find a name or message, or choose Unread to focus on new replies.
- Open the conversation and read the latest messages before responding.
- Tap the message composer. Confirm the recipient and choose the connected WhatsApp sender if the app asks you to select a channel.
- Write your reply and tap Send. If Brixi says Template message required, tap Use a template, choose an approved template, review it, and send it instead.
The sent message should appear in the conversation. Return to the WhatsApp list to work the next thread.
