STEP 04

Reply together from one inbox (Conversations)

Every conversation lands in one shared inbox in real time. Assign a conversation to a teammate, see who's already replying, and take over instantly from a bot or automation the moment a customer needs a real person.

STEP 05

Organize contacts and leave notes

Group contacts into colored, filterable lists - VIPs, follow-ups, pending payments - and leave a note in a conversation for the next teammate who picks it up. Every handoff and assignment is timestamped in the history.

STEP 09

Automate with the no-code Automation Builder

Define real logic without writing anything: send a message, ask a question and validate the reply (email, phone, date, a fixed list, or your own pattern), branch on if/else or a multi-way switch, wait for the customer's next reply, and hand off to a human - all visible live in the same shared inbox. Import a ready-made automation from the built-in library to start from a working draft instead of a blank canvas, trigger a run from your own systems via a webhook URL, call an external API or another automation as a step, or drop in an AI Agent step (Claude or OpenAI) that can call your other steps as tools on its own and pause mid-conversation for a reply before continuing - a different, separately-configured capability from Meta's own hosted AI Agent below.

STEP 10

Let Meta's own AI Agent take the first reply

Turn on Meta's hosted Business AI Agent per number, grounded in your own catalog, FAQs, and website. It answers what it can and hands the conversation straight back to your team the moment a customer needs a person.

STEP 12

Install TAM Inbox as an app and get notified

Open Conversations on your phone and add TAM Inbox to your Home Screen - it opens full-screen like a real app, no browser address bar. Turn on notifications from the banner at the top and you'll get a native alert the moment a customer messages you, even with the app closed. On Android this works right away; on iPhone, add it to the Home Screen first (iOS 16.4+), then enable notifications from there - a plain Safari tab can't do it. Signed-in on a desktop browser too? An unread-count badge shows up on the taskbar/dock icon there as well.
