The Inbox is the operational hub for all customer WhatsApp conversations in Galantis. Every inbound message from a customer — whether they reached out through the storefront chat widget, replied to a campaign, or responded to an automation — arrives here in a single unified view. Unlike a standard support inbox, the Galantis Inbox surfaces full Shopify customer context alongside every conversation: order history, lifetime value, consent status, and browsing data are visible to agents without leaving the thread. This makes the Inbox useful for both support and pre- or post-purchase sales conversations.

​
How the Inbox works

The Inbox operates on WhatsApp’s 24-hour conversation window model. When a customer sends a message, a window opens and agents can reply freely with session messages. Once the window closes, agents must use an approved template to re-engage. See Conversation Window for the full rule set. Conversations are assigned to agents manually or automatically on first reply. Agents see only conversations relevant to them through the My Tickets view, while admins have visibility across all conversations.

Billing

The Inbox is billed per agent seat: $19 per seat per month, including 500 Inbox Threads per seat. Scale and Enterprise plans include 1 seat in the plan price; Free, Starter, and Growth plans get 50 threads per month for evaluation but need to add an Additional Agent ($19) to actively run inbox support. Threads beyond the included amount are billed as tiered overage ($5 / $4 / $3 per 500-thread block depending on monthly volume). See Inbox Add-on Billing for the full pricing breakdown.
