One thread per customer
Every message from a person, across every channel, in one conversation with full history.
Chatonics is shared inbox software that brings every channel - WhatsApp, Instagram, email, SMS and more - into one team inbox. Instead of forwarding messages or sharing a password, your whole team works from a single thread-per-customer view: assign, tag, snooze, leave internal notes, and reply without ever leaving the conversation.
Every message from a person, across every channel, in one conversation with full history.
Assignment and presence show who is handling what, so two agents never reply to the same message.
Internal notes, mentions and team chat live next to the conversation - no Slack tab required.
WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, email, SMS, Discord, Viber and TikTok land in the same place. A WhatsApp shared inbox, an Instagram shared inbox and a shared email inbox - all the same screen.

Assign conversations, tag them, snooze until later, and @mention a teammate. Internal notes stay private; customers never see them. New hires learn one screen instead of nine.
Agent-to-agent messaging with presence - Active, Away or DND - sits right inside the inbox, so questions get settled without leaving the conversation.
A shared inbox is a single inbox that an entire team manages together, with tools to assign, tag and collaborate on messages. It replaces a forwarded mailbox or a shared password, giving every agent visibility into who is handling which conversation and the full history behind it.
| Distribution list | Shared inbox | |
|---|---|---|
| Who replies | Unclear - anyone or no one | Assigned, visible |
| History | Scattered in personal inboxes | One thread per customer |
| Collaboration | Reply-all chains | Notes + mentions |
| Channels | Email only | Every channel |
Look for one that covers every channel, includes assignment and collaboration, and has a free plan. Chatonics covers nine channels free to start.
Yes - connect WhatsApp and your whole team replies from the shared inbox, with history and assignment.
A shared inbox is the collaborative message view; Chatonics adds help-desk features (tickets, SLAs, CSAT) on top. See /features/ticketing.
