Voice notes in the shared inbox

Customers speak their question, your team listens and replies from one inbox.

What is Voice Notes?

Many customers prefer to speak their question rather than type it. Those voice notes arrive in Slimbot with the conversation in the shared inbox, just like text, photos and documents. Everyone on your team who may view the conversation can listen to them.

If you want to reply personally, you record a voice message yourself from the computer and send it back in the same conversation. What a voice note is exactly and how to use it conveniently is explained on the information page.

How does it work?

  1. Connect your business WhatsApp number to Slimbot.
  2. A customer sends a voice message: it appears in their conversation in the inbox.
  3. A colleague listens to it and picks up the question.
  4. Reply with text or record a voice note yourself and send it back.
