What is Shared Inbox?

A team inbox where multiple agents collaborate on the same set of conversations.

A shared inbox lets a whole team work from one collective queue of messages, rather than each person owning a separate mailbox. Conversations can be assigned, reassigned, and discussed internally.

It prevents two common problems: messages with no clear owner that go unanswered, and two agents replying to the same person. Internal notes and assignment rules keep everyone aligned.

Shared inboxes are essential once a business has more than one person handling customer chats.

Why it matters

A shared inbox lets a team scale support collaboratively without duplicated or missed replies.
