Frequently Asked Questions

Do starred chats stay at the top of the closed inbox?

No, starred chats don’t stay at the top of your closed inbox - they’ll still be sorted by the date they were closed. You can filter by importance to find them quickly.

Do I need to unstar chats before closing them?

Not at all! You can leave conversations starred when closing them - it’s totally up to you and what works best for your team.

Can we reopen closed conversations in case they were closed in error?

Yes, you can! Just send another message in the chat, and it’ll reopen automatically. You can also click the arrow in the top right corner labelled 'Open the conversation'.
