Manage Inbox 2.0 conversations

Hide a message, mute a post, or mask content in a conversation to protect privacy, moderate a message, or keep the queue tidy for agents.

Audience: Inbox 2.0 admins

To find the options to manage messages do the following:

  1. Go to Inbox 2.0 and open a conversation in the agent workspace.
  2. Point to a comment, and select Message actions.
    Message options showing reply, like, hide, quote, retweet, mute post, and mask.

Mute a post

Sometimes a post creates so much traffic that the New queue becomes difficult to navigate and agents have a hard time responding to conversations that need immediate attention. When this happens, you can mute a post in Inbox 2.0 and exclude comments on specific posts from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Once a post is muted, comments on that post are not included in the thread.

  1. Go to Inbox 2.0 and open a conversation in the agent workspace.
  2. Point to a message, select Message actions, and then select Mute post.

When a post is muted, a log is created and stored. To view all muted posts, go to Admin settings, expand Social media, and then select Muted posts. From here, you can do the following:

  • Visit the original conversation in the social network.
  • View timestamps and the admin who muted the post.
  • Unmute individual threads.

Mask a message

Conceal the full text of inbound messages that contain sensitive information, both in conversation history and in back-end storage systems. This works on all channels, both public and private.

  1. Go to Inbox 2.0 and open a conversation in the agent workspace.
  2. Point to a message, select Message actions, and then select Mask.
Important: You cannot undo manual message masks.

This will replace all message content with asterisks (*), one for each character in the message. The message audit trail will say, “Message content masked by [Admin Name] - [timestamp]."

Hide or unhide a comment

Hide Facebook, Instagram or Twitter comments. When you hide a comment, only the commenter and their friends can see the comment. The commenter is not informed that the comment is hidden.

  1. Go to Inbox 2.0 and open a conversation in the agent workspace.
  2. Point to a message, select Message actions, and then select Hide or Unhide.
