Using internal notes on conversations

2 minutes read time Difficulty: beginner

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

  1. Open the conversation
  2. Click the 📝 Notes button in the header
  3. Type your note
  4. 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:

  1. Notes panel — Click the 📝 icon to see all notes for this contact
  2. 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

  1. Hover over the note
  2. Click the delete icon
  3. Confirm deletion

⚠️ Deleted notes cannot be recovered.

Tips

  1. Keep notes concise — bullet points work best
  2. Always add a note when reassigning a conversation
  3. Use notes to document customer preferences
  4. Tag teammates with @mentions (if supported)
  5. Notes are searchable — use keywords for easy retrieval later
