Message quoting

Sinch Contact Pro supports quoted messages. This means that when customers use the Reply option in conversational messaging apps when replying to an agent's message, the quoted message is shown to the agent in Communication Panel.

Customers can also quote a message, which is an attachment, such as PDF or MP4, and the agent sees the original message as such. For longer messages the beginning of the message is shown. Quoted messages are also shown in the conversation history in Communication Panel.

As messages from conversational messaging apps come via Conversation API, note the following:

  • This is supported for messages sent from WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facenbook Messenger.

    Note:
    Quoting messages on Instagram that include media, such as images, audio, or PDFs, is not supported.
  • When you configre Conversation API, you also need to choose the MESSAGE_DELIVERY trigger so that quoted messages will be shown in Communication Panel.

  • Message quoting is supported only on the customer side.

  • It's possible to quote only agents' messages. If the customer quotes their own messages, prompt messages, or error messages, these quoted messages are not shown in Communication Panel.

  • Message quoting is supported for messages that are not older than 3 days.
