Written by Roohul Shah

Overview

TxtCart Conversations (previously Inbox) is a centralized hub for managing all your SMS communications, including both Campaign messages and Abandoned Checkout (Cart Recovery) conversations. This unified inbox helps you track and manage customer interactions efficiently.

  1. Log into your TxtCart dashboard

  2. Click on "Conversations" in the left navigation menu



Key Features

  • Combined View: Access both Campaign SMS and Abandoned Checkout (Cart Recovery) messages in one place

  • Message Types:

    • Abandoned Checkout (Cart Recovery) messages to re-engage abandoned carts

    • Campaign SMS for marketing communications

  • Search by:

The right sidebar displays two important sections:

Escalated Conversations

When TxtCart's AI Agent reaches a situation it shouldn't handle on its own, it automatically escalates the conversation to your Inbox and stops responding. This is your cue to step in.

To find your Escalated Conversations:

  1. Click Conversations in the left-hand menu

  2. Click the filter icon (funnel icon) at the top of the conversations list

  3. Select Escalated from the dropdown

You'll now see all conversations currently waiting for your attention.

The AI escalates when:

  • It can't find an answer in your Knowledge Base

  • A customer asks to speak to a real person

  • A customer reports a damaged, defective, or wrong item

  • A return, refund, or exchange is requested

  • A billing dispute or sensitive issue comes up

  • The customer is still frustrated after multiple attempts

Some escalations happen automatically; abusive language and malicious behavior are flagged and routed to your Inbox instantly, without the AI sending a response first.

To take over an escalated conversation:

  1. Open a conversation with an escalation banner at the top

  2. Review the escalation reason and conversation history

  3. Click Override Conversation to take control

  4. Reply to the customer directly

The AI includes an escalation reason with every handoff so your team has full context, no need to ask the customer to repeat themselves.

The AI will not send any further messages to an escalated conversation until you override it. Don't leave escalated conversations sitting unattended.



Important Notes on AI Interaction

When working with Flow conversations:

  • Once you intervene in an AI-managed Flow conversation, the AI system will stop responding

  • These conversations must then be handled manually by your team.

  • This ensures consistent communication and prevents any confusion between AI and human responses



Best Practices

  1. Regularly monitor the Conversations for new messages

  2. Respond promptly to customer interactions

  3. Use the search functionality to quickly find specific conversations

  4. Review customer details before engaging to provide personalized service


Tips for Efficient Usage

  • Use the combined view to maintain context across different types of communications

  • Check conversation details before responding to understand the customer's history
