Introduction
Converse allows you to communicate with your client through Strive. Our Converse module is accessible on both our website and mobile app called Strive Go.
As of to date, we have two chat channel which you can connect. The chat channels are Facebook Page Messenger and WA API.
For WA API channel, can connect all the numbers that you have registered into Converse. However, for Facebook Page Messenger channel, you can only connect one page.
In the near future, we will enable Facebook Page Messenger to connect more than one page and add more channels example Instagram, Telegram, Wechat and others.
Linking your Channels
Click on Chat Channels then click Connect Now for the channel that you would like to link. Fill in the required information. Once you are done filling in the details, you will be able to receive messages.
Converse Overview
Before we view on each respective ticket status section, let's go through the overview of the page. There are three columns so let's break it up a little to understand the structure of it.
Left column: Displays the tickets
Center column: Displays the messages
Right column: Displays the contact information
The image below is an example of a resolving ticket. From the ticket, you will be able to view a few information that includes:
Sender's display name/name saved
If you have not save the sender as contact, it will show the sender's display name
If you save the sender as contact, it will show the name that you have saved the contact as
Sender's phone number
Message content that they sent
It will only show a snippet instead of the full message if the message is too long
The phone number they sent to
As shown in the image, it shows Strive but in your case, it will show the display name of your phone number.
You can hover over the display name to view on the phone number
Ticket status
Shows if the ticket is still active or has expired
FYI :
Pending tickets are visible for all organisation users
Resolving tickets are only visible to the user who accepted ticket. Once the ticket is delegated to another user, the respective user will only be able to view the ticket.
Resolved ticket is visible to all the organisation users.
Pending Ticket
Pending queues are new ticket sent by your clients/contacts to you via the respective channel. To accept the ticket, you can click on the ticket and select Accept. Then your ticket will move to the Resolving Tickets section.
You can only reply to your client/contact when the ticket is in the Resolving Tickets section.
Resolving Ticket
The image below is a sample of a resolving ticket.
If the contact has been added or linked already, the contact details will be shown on the right. You can edit the contact, add touchpoint, view notes and send WA API broadcast from this page itself. If you want to unlink the phone number and the contact, you can do so by clicking on the Unlink Contact button. If your contact has not been added yet, you can add the contact or link to an existing contact. In the sample, the ticket is expired because the ticket is over 24 hours. Each ticket will only lasts 24 hours.
Do note that you will not be able to respond or reply to an expired ticket
You may delegate the ticket to another user of the organisation to for them to respond to the message. Once you and your contact have finished conversing, click the Resolve button to transfer the ticket to the resolved section.
If the timer has run out and you want to send message to the contact, you may do so by sending a WA API Broadcast with call to action buttons to increase the chances of them replying.
If you want to send an image or document, you can drag and drop the file into the area above that chat field.
Additional Information
At the bottom where you type the message that you would like to send, you may click on the emoji icon to add emojis into your message. Then at the plus icon, you can attach file or image. At the most right of the highlighted area, you can do voice recording to send to your client/contact.
You can now respond to messages with emojis and see the emojis to which your contact has responded.

You will usually receive a notification whenever a new message has come in. However, you can configure the notification by clicking the Setting button at the top row. You can enable or disable the notification.
