In the Conversations UI, we have introduced some handy tools to help you organize and handle your messages more effectively. These tools include Conversation Filters and Bulk Actions. This article will explain how to use them.

First, you need to enable Conversation Filters for your sub-account. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1: Accessing Conversation Filters

Once you've enabled Conversation Filters, you can find them on the left side of the Conversations UI.

Step 3: Filtering Conversations (Quick Filters)

Conversation Filters also allow you to narrow down your view based on specific criteria. These filters help you find the conversations you need quickly. Here are the available filters:

  • By conversation type.
  • By assignee (the person responsible for the conversation).
  • By the last message channel (the source of the last message).
  • By last message type (the type of the last message).
  • By last message direction (incoming or outgoing).
  • By last outbound message type.
  • By the last outbound message action (manual or automated, applicable for messages posted after May 9th, 2023).

Step 4: Sorting Conversations

You can sort your conversations to make them easier to navigate. Sorting can be done in two ways:

  • Latest to oldest: This arranges conversations from the newest to the oldest.
  • Oldest to latest: This does the opposite, arranging conversations from the oldest to the newest.

You can also use sorting in combination with the Quick Filters mentioned earlier to help you structure your conversations more effectively.

  3. To remove a star from a conversation, simply click on the "Unstarred" icon.
