FAQ​

Q: We have integrated slack correctly, but we are not able to see the channel.

A: Press the cmd+k/ctrl+k key and search for customer-conversations channel and verify if it got created. Your conversations from Chatwoot will come under this channel.

Q. I am replying to a message but it's not showing up in the chatwoot inbox.

A: When you reply to the message make sure you reply under the same thread. Each thread represents a separate conversation, so to show your reply to the same message you should reply under the thread. We use thread id to verify the separate conversation.
