In Inbox, a "conversation" is the entire exchange process between you and a specific contact, including all content exchanged. A "message" is a specific piece of content sent or received during this exchange.
Since Inbox is linked to all WhatsApp numbers under the YCloud account, there may be multiple conversation windows for the same customer. Please distinguish the corresponding WhatsApp number for the conversation by the Inbox name next to the user name at the top of the chat area.
