Five messaging channels, one team inbox

Loomi connects WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and web chat to one shared inbox. Each channel has its own rules on who can message first, how long you have to reply and what you can send. Loomi applies those rules for you, so your team answers every customer the same way wherever they wrote from.

Your customers don't pick a channel to suit your team. They pick the app that's open.

Questions

Do I have to connect all five?

No. Connect the ones your customers use; add the rest later.

Does the AI agent work on every channel?

Yes. One agent, one set of rules, every channel.

Which channel should I start with?

The one your customers already write on. For most teams in the Gulf and Levant that is WhatsApp, then Instagram.
