How to open a thread, start a new one and answer it on the Chats page.
Who uses it
Supplier staff and restaurants. Starting threads is for suppliers only.
How it works
- Open one. The list on the left holds every thread. Choose one to read it; the sidebar closes on small screens (toggle it with the list icon).
- From elsewhere. Chat with Customer on the customer page opens the thread for that customer directly; if you pick another thread meanwhile, your pick wins.
- Start one. A supplier presses the pencil icon (Compose message). The New Message panel says "Select a customer to start a conversation." Search by customer name, phone, email or Ref ID and select. Clipp finds the existing thread or creates it.
- Need Help? Opens the thread with the Clipp team, which shows as Clipp Team.
- Reply. Type in the box (up to five lines), reply to a message in a side thread, or call the customer from the header's phone action.
