Why You Need a Unified Inbox

If your business receives messages on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram simultaneously, switching between 3 separate apps causes 8x slower response times and leads to missed conversations that could have converted into sales. The solution is a Unified Inbox that brings every channel into one view.

AutoReplyZ provides a centralized inbox that displays WhatsApp Business Cloud API, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram Direct conversations side by side, with channel badges and unread counters on every thread.

3 Channels, One Dashboard

WhatsApp Business Cloud

Official Meta Cloud API connection with no QR code scanning required.

Facebook Messenger

Connect your Facebook Pages and receive customer messages directly in the same inbox.

Instagram Direct

Automate DM replies from your Business account. See our Instagram Automation Guide.

Smart Bot-to-Human Handover

AutoReplyZ's handover system works on a simple principle: the bot handles 80% of repetitive inquiries (via keyword triggers and FAQs), and when a customer requests human help or reaches a handover node in a conversation flow:

1️⃣ The bot pauses automatically for that specific conversation.

2️⃣ The conversation status changes to "Assigned to Agent" with an instant notification.

3️⃣ An unread message badge appears in the inbox for the team.

4️⃣ After resolving the issue, the agent can reactivate the bot with one click.

Canned Responses: Reply in One Click

Instead of typing the same replies repeatedly, build a library of categorized canned responses (Greetings, Closings, Shipping, Payments). Agents simply type a shortcut like /thanks or /greeting to insert the full bilingual reply instantly.

Role-Based Permissions: Who Sees What?

Pro Tip for Maximum Efficiency

Combine keyword triggers for quick answers with conversation flows for complex scenarios, and monitor your analytics dashboard to track bot vs. human resolution ratios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can multiple agents reply to the same conversation?

Yes, conversations can be assigned to specific agents. Other team members can still view the thread and add internal notes invisible to the customer.

Do I need separate apps for each channel?

No. Everything runs from the AutoReplyZ dashboard in your browser. Connect your channels once and receive all messages in one place.

Does the customer know they switched from bot to human?

No. The handover is seamless and invisible. The customer sees one continuous conversation without interruption.
