Message Tags
Message Tags allow you to send a message outside the standard messaging window. These messages are personally relevant updates for a person. For example, you may send updates about shipping and delivery, an upcoming reservation or flight, or alerts about a customer’s account. For messaging flows that require an escalation path, the Human Agent tag allows a business representative to manually respond to a person’s messages within a 7-day period.
Time counts are determined from the “Last Contact (Time) from Customer”. If the customer happens to send a new message, the 7-day reply window count will be reset.
