How to bring all your chats into one place: Telegram, Instagram Direct and WhatsApp in a single inbox, where an enquiry is not lost while you switch between apps

INBOX · ONE WINDOW

Bringing all your chats into one place means routing Telegram, Instagram Direct and WhatsApp into a single inbox, where an enquiry is not lost while you switch between apps. The AI employee (AI agent) answers repeat questions on its own. Instagram connects through a business account, Telegram through a company Telegram bot or work account, WhatsApp through the Business API. Every message is tied to the customer card in the CRM with its channel and time, so a person who wrote in two messengers stays one lead, not two. The operator sees the whole history and continues without a recap. The AI replies in Uzbek, Russian or a mix of both from your knowledge base and hands complex cases to a human with context. No custom development is needed: channels connect from a ready catalogue, and launch takes from 2 hours for small and medium business and up to 30 days for enterprise.

Why scattered chats lose customers

In Uzbekistan customers write wherever it suits them: some in Telegram, some in Instagram, some in WhatsApp. When every channel is a separate app, part of the messages get lost: nobody saw them in time, somebody forgot to reply, threads got mixed up. The more channels you have, the higher the risk of losing an enquiry.

A single inbox removes the switching: every channel in one window.

How it works

  1. You connect Telegram, Instagram Direct and WhatsApp to the single inbox.
  2. All incoming messages arrive in one window and are tied to the customer card in the CRM.
  3. The AI employee answers repeat questions itself, from your knowledge base.
  4. Complex cases go to an operator with context, and the conversation history is kept.

How to make sure not a single enquiry from these messages is lost is covered in handling leads from social media.

Uzbekistan's channels in one place

ChannelRole in UzbekistanWhat lands in the inbox
InstagramThe main storefront and enquiry channelDirect, comments, replies to stories
TelegramThe main channel for conversations and repeat salesDirect messages, bot, groups
WhatsAppA growing channel for confirmations and ordersIncoming messages, notifications

Telegram and Instagram are the primary business channels in Uzbekistan, and WhatsApp is growing. A single inbox closes the main gap: «the chats are scattered across apps».

How to connect the channels

  1. Instagram. The profile is switched to a business account and linked to a page: a personal profile does not connect to Meta's official API.
  2. Telegram. You connect the company's Telegram bot or a work account; messages and attachments arrive in the same window.
  3. WhatsApp. It runs through the Business API on the company number, with message templates for the first contact.
  4. Knowledge base. Price, stock, delivery, warranty, address and opening hours: this is where the AI takes the wording of its answers from.
  5. Escalation rules. Topics the AI does not handle itself, such as a complaint, a refund, a large wholesale order or a legal question, go straight to an operator.

You do not need to change numbers or accounts: customers write to the same places as before. Connecting takes from 2 hours for small and medium business and up to 30 days for enterprise with role-based access and data storage requirements.

What to check in the first week

  • First response time: how many minutes pass between the customer's message and the reply in each channel.
  • Unanswered chats: by the end of the day no unhandled conversations should be left in the inbox.
  • Duplicate customers: a person who wrote in Telegram and Instagram should end up in one CRM card.
  • Escalation share: which questions the AI employee passes to an operator; frequent topics are worth adding to the knowledge base.

What it gives the business

  • One window instead of three apps: no switching back and forth.
  • Not a single chat is lost: every channel is in view.
  • The AI handles routine questions itself: from the knowledge base, around the clock.
  • Context is kept: the operator sees the whole history.
