Channels at a glance

See every place customers can reach you, which ones are connected, and which need attention.

A channel is a place your customers talk to you: your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, email or phone. Every message from every channel arrives in the same inbox.

Before you start

Every planNeeds: Overview: Read

Go to SettingsChannelsOverview. Each channel has a card that shows how many of its connections you have, such as numbers, Pages or addresses, and one state:

StateWhat it means
ConnectedAt least one connection is working.
Needs attentionA connection stopped working and must be reconnected.
PausedYour connections are paused, so no new messages come in.
Setting upYou started connecting but haven’t finished.
Not connectedNothing is set up yet.

If any connection needs attention, the card says so, even when others work.

Click Connect on a channel that isn’t connected yet, or Manage on one that is. Both open that channel’s own page, where you set it up.

You only see the channels you have permission to open. Phone appears only to the workspace owner, and only if your plan includes it.
