Conversations

Written by Genius

Conversations in DriveCentric let you see all customer interactions happening in real time, including texts, emails, phone calls, and videos, in one place. This ensures consistent service across both digital and in-person customers, while helping managers monitor and support their teams effectively.

Filter by Conversation Type

  • Dropdown Menu - Filter conversations by Store, Teams, or Users using the dropdown menu option.

    • Users with multi-store access can select up to 15 stores to view

  • All - When looking under the "All" column, this is going to show all of your conversations for the day. This will show all ignored, unread, or angry messages from the day all in one spot to see. These messages will reset at 12 AM each night. To view messages from previous days, you just hit the drop down next to "Open" and then select "Closed".

  • Unreplied 💬 - When filtered under the "Unreplied" tab, you will see all the conversations that have not been replied to. The only way to clear out the unreplied column is to either ignore messages (top right) or respond.

  • Chat (if applicable)- When looking under "Chat", this is going to show all of the DirectChat conversations for the day. These messages will reset at 12 AM each night.

  • Negative Inbox (Sentiment Analyzer) 😠 -- This tab works with an algorithm that can tell when the customer is unhappy. There are key words and phrases that it will recognize from the customer.

        1. First Name

        2. Last Name

        3. Dealership Name

        4. Dealership Address
