Understanding the Inbox Combined View and why we did it this way
We found that data was being crossed when our client partners used any of our integrations and especially if they used more than one simultaneously. Based on how our users wanted to manage their profiles, we developed the Inbox combined view as the solution to this challenge.
Since the chat history is based on the phone number and not necessarily on the actual profile of the person, you can see the whole history of the conversations in this view, regardless of which profile you have selected at the time. We combine the profiles into one, under the primary contact’s name, for the sake of viewing the entire chat history. So if you have a spouse or child using the same phone number, even though there are separate profiles for each person, we combine them together, so you can view the entire chat history for that phone number.
