Using the Chat Interface

3 min readUpdated 2026-04-12

Accessing Chat

There are two ways to chat with your agent:

  1. Full chat page — Click Chat in the sidebar for a full-screen conversation
  2. Chat panel — Available as a slide-out panel on most dashboard pages

What You Can Ask

Your agent can help with a wide range of tasks through chat:

Status & Updates

  • "How are my campaigns doing?"
  • "How many leads did you find today?"
  • "What's my reply rate this week?"

Instructions & Adjustments

  • "Focus on restaurants in the downtown area"
  • "Make your emails shorter — 3 sentences max"
  • "Don't contact any business with 'franchise' in the name"

Campaign Management

  • "Create a new campaign targeting dentists in Portland"
  • "Pause the restaurant campaign"
  • "How many emails have you sent today?"

Lead Questions

  • "Tell me about the hot lead from earlier"
  • "What do you know about [lead name]?"
  • "Which leads look most promising?"

Response Times

Your agent typically responds within seconds. If your agent is busy processing tasks (sending emails, researching leads), it may take a moment longer. Messages are delivered instantly via the web app.

Tips for Better Conversations

  1. Be specific — "Focus on restaurants without websites" beats "find better leads"
  2. One instruction at a time — Give clear, focused guidance
  3. Provide context — "We just landed a big restaurant client, use that as a case study" helps your agent improve
  4. Share feedback — "That email to the Portland bakery was perfect — more like that"

Chat History

All conversations are saved and visible in the Chat page. Your agent remembers context from previous conversations across all channels (chat, email, SMS).
