Ready to get started? Here's how you can navigate Social Inbox and make the best use of its features:


Connect your social media pages

For Social Inbox to become your comment-grabbing, DM-snatching powerhouse, you first need to πŸ”— link up your social media pages < here's how you do it.

Once you've done that, all your interactions will start pouring into NapoleonCat's Social Inbox–the good, the bad, and the ugly–from delivery time complaints to cooperation requests to exhilarating reviews.

It's a mixed bag, but hey, that's what makes social media so exciting, right? πŸ˜‰


Tickets explained

🎫 In NapoleonCat, every interaction you have with your audienceβ€”whether it's a comment, private message, ad comment, fan post, review, you name it: is transformed into what we call a 'ticket'.

Picture each ticket as a separate conversation that's ready for your attention! When a new interaction comes in, it pops up in your "New" folder in Social Inbox:

But here's the fun part - when you click on a comment, you get to see the whole story.

πŸ’¬ Consider it as a book, where clicking on a comment turns the pages to reveal the complete tale; you can see all the comments linked to that post and get the full context:

Private messages

Now, let's chat about private messages.

If a customer sends you a flurry of messages one after the other, the most recent one will land in the "New" tab:

But don't worry about missing the rest. Once you click on the message to view the thread, you'll see all their messages lined up nicely:

Team collaboration

What about when you're working on a ticket, say a customer conversation via DMs? No stress! 😌

The thread gets refreshed automatically πŸ”„ when there's a new message.

Or you'll get a gentle nudge - a prompt saying, "Hey, there's a new message! Time to refresh."

And to keep your team in harmony 🎢, if a teammate is already crafting a response, you'll get a real-time heads-up right in the ticket view.

So, you can avoid talking over each other and keep your responses as smooth as a well-rehearsed dance routine!

But hey, there's more to this story.

Alongside these cool features, you can also leave internal notes, send emails "to consult", and more.

Now, what about keeping all those conversations tidy and easy to find? You got this!

πŸ”— You can use a bunch of filtering options to help you keep your Inbox organized and clutter-free.

Internal actions

Keep in mind, it's not just about hitting that sweet spot of Inbox Zero - you're all about boosting customer experience too! πŸš€

To help you respond faster and keep your chats orderly, below are some nifty internal actions.

They're the hidden sidekicks of your team's day-to-day - out of your customers' sight, but making a massive difference behind the scenes!

Just so you know, each feature comes with a link that takes you deeper into how to use it:

Internal Actions:

❗Before we delve deeper, here's an important note. When you delete your replies or customer comments and messages, there's no turning back - these actions are irreversible.
​
However, you can always remove your replies directly from the social media platform.

Let's have a look at the available actions and how they work for different platforms and types of interactions. πŸ‘‡
