If your support inbox isn’t showing new messages from all channels, the most common reasons are:
-
Channel routing is misconfigured
- Some channels may not be connected to the inbox or are routed to a different team/queue.
- Check each channel’s inbox assignment and workflow rules.
-
Filters are hiding them
- Your inbox view may be filtered by status, assignee, tag, priority, date, or channel.
- Clear filters and check the “All” or “Open” view.
-
Messages are being marked as resolved/closed
- Automated rules or agents may be closing conversations before you see them.
- Review automations and status rules.
-
Permissions/access issues
- You may only have access to certain inboxes, brands, or channels.
- Confirm your role and inbox permissions.
-
Integration or sync problems
- A connected channel (email, chat, social, etc.) may have disconnected or be failing to sync.
- Check integration status, logs, and authentication.
-
Spam, blocked, or archived
- Messages from some channels may be going to spam, archived, or a separate moderation queue.
-
Delay in ingestion
- Some channels can take time to appear due to API delays or rate limits.
-
Inbox settings only include selected channels
- The inbox might be configured to show only specific sources.
- Verify the inbox’s channel inclusion settings.
If you want, I can help you troubleshoot this step by step. Tell me:
- what support tool you’re using,
- which channels are missing,
- and whether the messages appear anywhere else in the system.
