Customer Replies, Notifications and Unread Messages

How replies arrive, who gets notified and how unread works for your team.

When a customer texts back, the reply lands in the same conversation and everyone with Messenger access gets notified in Blackpurl.

How replies show up

  • Replies sit in time order with your sent messages, as one continuous thread.

  • A reply from any of the customer's numbers goes into their conversation.

  • A text from a number that isn't on any customer still arrives, as an unknown sender. Link it to a customer.

  • Messages are never lost. If one doesn't appear right away, refresh.

Notifications and unread

  • You get an in-app notification for each incoming text.

  • The inbox shows unread badges and counts.

  • The conversation list previews the last message ("Photo" or "Video" for media). You can hide previews in Messenger settings.

Read is shared. Opening a conversation marks it read for the whole dealership, not just you. Agree as a team on who replies, so no one assumes someone else has it.

Scroll up in a thread to load older messages.
