Unassigned or just routed to the shift.
Agent Workspace
The Unified Inbox in volbor is your shift command center: incoming queue on the left, conversation thread in the center, customer profile on the right. The Inbox Hub maps out the broader module suite. Here is how agents resolve conversations, not how routing rules are configured.
Single Identity
When a phone number or email matches, the system prompts you to merge threads into a single profile.[1] Agents never have to ask for table dimensions a second time. In-line message translation appears directly beneath the original text, not in a separate tool.
Layout
Left column: incoming queue and SLA urgency. Center: conversation thread with file attachments and voice notes. Right: customer CRM profile and active deal. On laptops, side panels collapse so the thread never turns into a cramped strip.
Workflow
New → In Progress → Waiting on Customer → Resolved. Breached FRT escalates to the top of the queue. This isn't an email inbox where unread messages sink into oblivion.
Unassigned or just routed to the shift.
Agent is typing or awaiting warehouse updates, but ownership is assigned.
Waiting on customer reply; doesn't count against agent response SLA.
Fully searchable, kept out of open queues.
Folders & Custom Views — saved filters for VIP clients and high-priority tickets. This view handles lifecycle statuses, not complex query builders.
Archive
Search queries index messages, file attachments, and internal notes simultaneously. No more 'check that WhatsApp chat from last May.'
4412 invoice
Customer sent 'order 4412' — exact string match, no manual tagging required.
Filter by 'has PDF' to cut through chatter and surface invoices instantly.
Supervisors search for 'discount approved' in private teammate notes.
Velocity
Next ticket, reply focus, status changes, and slash snippets without touching the mouse.[2] Insert product cards and checkout payment links directly from the sidebar without opening five browser tabs.
Hybrid
AI-generated draft replies with a 1-click 'Send' button. When a customer asks for a live representative, the queue maintains complete context without restarting the chat. Track automation deflection rates in analytics, not marketing hype.
FAQs and order tracking via deterministic flows. No unrealistic '100% human-free' claims.
Agents refine tone and pricing rather than typing warehouse addresses from scratch.
Clicking 'talk to human' or hitting flow limits routes straight into the Unified Inbox.
FAQ
An entire shift works concurrently. Agent assignments and chat capacity limits are managed under team routing, not in the layout view.
Comments land in your inbox. You can transition replies into Direct Messages without cluttering the public post.
Yes, through granular ACL roles and permissions. This view shows active threads; access control is configured in security settings.
If contact info matches, threads merge into one. If not, they appear as separate tickets until you confirm the merge.
Yes, bidirectional multimedia is supported. Voice note transcriptions appear as inline text directly in the thread.
A responsive web dashboard is available for on-call duties. The full 3-column workstation is optimized for desktop screens.
Ecosystem
The UI layout doesn't route tickets or conceal internal notes on its own. Companion modules handle that.

Native product capability: prompts agents to merge profiles upon contact match. Illustrated here as a website widget → Telegram workflow. Does not represent an industry-wide average merge rate.
Hotkeys available inside the Unified Inbox UI (J/K, R, /, E in this example). Not an empirical '1.5x faster' claim or third-party shift study.
