Step 4: Manage Your Inbox

Learn the basics of managing customer conversations in the Zupport unified inbox.

Understanding the Inbox

The Zupport inbox is where all your customer conversations live. Regardless of which channel a message comes from — Email, Facebook, Instagram, Website Widget, or marketplace chats — it all appears in one unified view.

Key Inbox Actions

📋 Viewing Tickets

The inbox shows all tickets sorted by most recent activity. Click any ticket to view the full conversation thread, customer details, and order history (for e-commerce integrations).

✍️ Replying to Customers

Use the reply box at the bottom of each ticket to respond. Zupport supports:

  • Rich text formatting
  • File attachments (images, documents, etc.)
  • Quick replies / canned responses
  • AI-suggested replies powered by ZIA

🏷️ Using Labels

Add labels to tickets to organize them by category, priority, or any custom classification. Labels help you filter and find specific conversations quickly.

👤 Assigning Tickets

Assign tickets to specific agents or teams. You can set up auto-assignment rules so incoming tickets are automatically routed to the right person.

🔄 Opening & Closing Tickets

Mark tickets as Open, Pending, or Closed. Closed tickets can be reopened if the customer replies again. You can also set up auto-close rules to automatically close inactive tickets.

📝 Internal Notes

Leave internal notes on tickets that are only visible to your team. Use @mentions to tag specific team members and draw their attention.

🔍 Searching & Filtering

Use the search bar to find tickets by keyword, customer name, or email. Apply filters to narrow results by status, channel, assignee, label, or date range.

💡 Pro tip: Save frequently used filters for quick access. This is especially useful if you manage tickets across multiple brands or channels.
