BizStackPro Conversations Help Guide

Internal Chat in Conversations

Collaborate privately with teammates inside Conversations so your team can coordinate handoffs, questions, and next steps without sending anything to the contact.

Quick Answer

How do you start an Internal Chat in BizStackPro?

Open Conversations, click New, choose Internal Chat, select the team members you want to include, and start messaging. You can add more users later, search chats by subject, participant, or last message, and choose whether newly added users can see previous chat history.

How Internal Chat Works

There are times when your team needs to discuss a customer conversation without sending that discussion to the customer.

Internal Chat gives BizStackPro users a private communication space inside the Conversations module.

It can be used for handoffs, quick questions, support escalations, billing discussions, sales coordination, or other team-only communication.

Internal Chat supports text, emojis, attachments, subjects, participant management, searchable conversations, and controlled history access for newly added users.

Internal Chat stays separate from customer messages

These chats are intended for BizStackPro users and are not sent to the contact.

Before You Begin

Decide who needs access and how much previous conversation history new participants should be allowed to see.

  • Identify the team members who need to be included.
  • Use a clear subject when the chat will continue over time.
  • Remember that users generally cannot be removed once they have been added.
  • Decide whether newly added users should see earlier chat history.
  • Keep customer-facing communication separate from internal team discussion.
  • Use attachments only when the information belongs in the internal discussion.

Step-by-Step: Start an Internal Chat

Create the chat, add your teammates, and begin the private conversation.

Open Conversations

Go to the Conversations module.

Click New

Select New to start a new conversation.

Select Internal Chat

Choose Internal Chat from the available conversation options.

Add Participants

Select the BizStackPro users you want included in the chat.

Send Messages

Enter your message and use text, emojis, or attachments as needed.

Add a Subject

Use the edit control to add a subject line that describes the purpose of the discussion.

A clear subject can make the chat easier to find later.

Use one chat per topic

The source page recommends separate chats for topics such as a sales handoff, support escalation, or billing question so the discussions stay easier to search and follow.

Manage Participants and Chat History

Add More Users Later

Open the chat and select Add Users when another teammate needs to join the discussion.

Choose History Access

When adding a new user, choose whether that participant should be allowed to see the previous chat history.

Users Cannot Generally Be Removed

The source page states that additional users can be added, but users generally cannot be removed once added.

Check access before adding someone

Because removal is not generally available, confirm that a user belongs in the discussion before adding them.

Search for an Internal Chat

Use searchable information from the chat to locate past internal discussions.

Search by Subject

Use the subject line to locate chats by topic.

Search by Participant

Search using the names of users who participated in the chat.

Search by Last Message Text

You can also search using text from the chat's most recent message.

Why Internal Chat Is Useful

Private Team Collaboration

Discuss the customer situation without placing internal notes into the customer-facing message thread.

Stay Inside Conversations

Coordinate with teammates without leaving the Conversations area to use a separate communication tool.

Rich Messaging

Use text, emojis, and attachments when additional context is needed.

Searchable Discussions

Subjects, participant names, and message text can help you locate previous internal discussions.

Controlled History Access

Decide whether newly added users should be able to see earlier messages in the discussion.

Internal Chat Best Practices

Use Clear Subjects
Reason: A descriptive subject such as “Acme — Refund Request” is easier to identify later than a generic subject such as “Question.”
Limit History Visibility When Appropriate
Reason: Sensitive discussions may not require every newly added participant to see all previous messages.
Keep Internal and Customer Messages Separate
Reason: Internal Chat is designed for team-only coordination, while customer-facing communication belongs in the contact conversation.
Confirm Participants Before Adding Them
Reason: Users generally cannot be removed after they have been added to the internal chat.
