Send each new conversation to the right teammate based on channel, keyword, or campaign source. Slack alerts arrive with enough context to start replying right away.
Priority inbox alerts
Flag urgent direct messaging activity the moment it lands and notify the team in Slack. Faster visibility keeps hot prospects and support issues from sitting unseen.
Channel-based routing
Route inbound messages by source so conversations from YouTube, Circle, or social inbox tools land in the right workflow. Each team sees only the threads they need to act on.
Keyword trigger rules
Watch for words that signal intent, urgency, or purchase interest and launch the next step automatically. This makes messaging automation feel tailored instead of generic.
