Using internal notes on conversations
Internal notes are private messages visible only to your team — customers never see them.
When to use notes
- Handoff context — "Customer wants a refund for order #123, already verified identity"
- Follow-up reminders — "Call back tomorrow at 3 PM"
- Important info — "VIP customer, handle with priority"
- Issue tracking — "Bug reported, forwarded to engineering team"
Adding a note
- Open the conversation
- Click the 📝 Notes button in the header
- Type your note
- Click "Add Note"
The note appears in the conversation's activity timeline with a distinct yellow/amber color so it's clearly different from customer messages.
Viewing notes
Notes appear in two places:
- Notes panel — Click the 📝 icon to see all notes for this contact
- Activity timeline — Notes appear chronologically alongside messages, calls, and stage changes
Who can see notes?
- ✅ All team members with access to the conversation
- ❌ The customer (notes are NEVER sent to WhatsApp)
Deleting notes
- Hover over the note
- Click the delete icon
- Confirm deletion
⚠️ Deleted notes cannot be recovered.
Tips
- Keep notes concise — bullet points work best
- Always add a note when reassigning a conversation
- Use notes to document customer preferences
- Tag teammates with @mentions (if supported)
- Notes are searchable — use keywords for easy retrieval later
