Activity Filters
Activity filters such as the "Created On" & "Last Replied At" filters come with Relative & Absolute options. Here's what it means.
Relative - Filter conversations based on a time period. For instance, conversations "created more than" 2 days ago will show all the conversations that were created before the last 48 hours. Similarly, conversations "created less than" 2 days ago will show all the conversations created in the last 48 hours.
- more than
- exactly
- less than
Each "day" in Statusbrew Engage Inbox represents a 24 hour period, beginning at the current moment. If a conversation was created between 24 & 48 hours ago, that's 1 day ago.
Absolute - Filter conversations based on timestamps. For instance, conversations "created before" 15th June 2021, conversations created on 12 June 2021, etc.
- before
- on
- after
Date Selection
With the Date Selection filter in Engage Inbox, sorting & managing your conversations is easier than ever.
Using the new date selector, you can view conversations updated in a particular date range. This provides you with a glance at the total number of conversations opened/closed for all the Inboxes within the selected range.
Sorting Conversations
By default, all inboxes in engage sort conversations by Newest First. You can change the sorting option and view Oldest First conversations by clicking on the sort button at the top of your inbox along with the filters.
Conversation Count For Custom Inbox
Engage in Statusbrew offers built-in conversation counters for your inboxes.
- The first counter is displayed in the left navigation pane alongside all your saved custom inboxes. This counter always denotes the number of open conversations in a particular inbox at any time.
- The second counter in Engage is more versatile. When you open any inbox in Engage, a Dynamic Counter is displayed right beside the status filter. This counter shows the number of conversations available in that inbox for all the filters you have applied. It changes dynamically when you apply & remove the filters.
Combining Filters
Digging deep to find those particular conversations is now a lot easier in the Engage inbox with our filter grouping options.
You can combine multiple filters in Engage using 'and' / 'or' options.
Using "and" combination
Combining filters with "and" helps you further narrow down your inbox views. For instance, if you'd wish only to view Facebook Ad Comments received in Spanish with positive sentiment. You can create such a combination.
Type is Facebook Ad Comments "and" Language is Spanish "and" Sentiment is Positive.
Using "or" combination
Combining filters with "or" will helps you group conversations from different dimensions such as networks, profiles, assigned to, etc. For instance, if you want to filter conversations assigned to two of your marketing team members. You can create such a combination.
Assigned to is Team Member 1 "or" Assigned to is Team Member 2
"or" combination can help if you wish to take bulk actions such as closing multiple conversations.
