Why Chatbox AI

Why businesses choose Chatbox AI for Team Inbox

Zero missed chats

Every WhatsApp conversation lands in one queue with an owner, a status and a full history. No lost leads, no unanswered support tickets.

Seamless collaboration

Tag a teammate, leave a private note or reassign a chat without the customer ever seeing the hand-off. Context travels with the conversation.

Faster resolution

Rules send billing questions to billing and Hindi speakers to Hindi-speaking agents, cutting wait times and lifting CSAT.

Capabilities

Powerful capabilities to scale on WhatsApp

Everything you need to automate conversations and drive conversions.

Right agent, first time

Intelligent chat routing

Stop assigning chats by hand. The routing engine connects each customer to Sales, Support or Billing in milliseconds using rules based on keywords, language, time of day and current agent workload.

  • Round-robin or load-balanced assignment
  • Keyword, language and business-hours rules
  • Automatic fallback when an agent is offline

Collaborate behind the scenes

Private internal notes

Need a manager's approval for a refund? @mention them in an internal note right inside the chat. The customer only sees the final, polished reply, while your team stays fully aligned.

  • @mentions with instant notifications
  • Notes stay attached to the contact's history
  • Invisible to the customer, always

One voice for your brand

Collision detection

Real-time indicators show when a teammate is viewing or typing in a conversation, so two agents never send conflicting answers to the same customer.

  • Live viewing and typing indicators
  • Clear chat ownership and status
  • Open, pending and resolved views

Humans and the bot on one thread

Take over from the bot, then hand it back

When an agent steps into a conversation the chatbot pauses for that customer, so the two never answer over each other. One click hands the thread back to the bot when the agent is done.

  • Bot pauses the moment an agent replies
  • Hand back to the bot in one click
  • Search inside a single conversation's history

FAQ

Questions about Team Inbox

Got questions about Team Inbox? We've got answers.

It depends on your plan. Starter (₹1,500/month) and Growth (₹3,200/month) include 1 owner plus 5 agents, Pro (₹9,100/month) includes 1 owner plus 9 agents, and extra agents are ₹750 per agent per month. Role-based access starts on Growth, and the custom Scale plan adds SSO and audit logs.

Is there a limit on how many agents can use the shared inbox? It depends on your plan. Starter (₹1,500/month) and Growth (₹3,200/month) include 1 owner plus 5 agents, Pro (₹9,100/month) includes 1 owner plus 9 agents, and extra agents are ₹750 per agent per month. Role-based access starts on Growth, and the custom Scale plan adds SSO and audit logs.

Can multiple agents use the same WhatsApp number? Yes. That is exactly what the shared inbox is for. Every agent logs into Chatbox AI with their own account, and all replies go out from your single official WhatsApp Business number. Collision detection prevents two people answering the same chat.

Is there a Chatbox AI mobile app? Not today. Chatbox AI is a web dashboard at app.chatboxai.dev, so agents sign in from a browser. There are no Android or iOS apps and no push notifications, and the inbox is built for a desktop-sized screen.

Will customers know they are talking to multiple agents? No. To the customer, they are simply chatting with your official WhatsApp Business number. Internal hand-offs, notes and reassignments are completely invisible to them.

How is this different from WhatsApp Business App's linked devices? The free WhatsApp Business App supports only a few linked devices with no assignment, notes or reporting. The Chatbox AI inbox runs on the official WhatsApp Business API, supports whole teams, routing rules, chatbots and agent performance reports.

Can a chatbot and human agents work in the same inbox? Yes. The no-code chatbot answers common questions first and hands the conversation to an agent when a customer asks for a human or the bot cannot help. The agent sees the full bot transcript before replying.
