Facilitate internal communication with Whispers

Communicate with your team members in the Textline application using Whispers. Leave private internal notes to confirm information, ask questions, and more. Whispers only are visible by your team.

The benefits of Whispers

Keep team members on the same page

Use Whispers to keep team members informed. You can leave status updates about to-do items on each outstanding conversation. For example, you could leave an update like: We need to follow up on Monday.

Cut down on back-and-forth

You don’t need to pull up a different application or messaging software to get in touch with your team. Instead, leave them notes or ask questions privately within each Textline conversation. Plus, because you can see the entire text chain, your team has the right context to easily answer questions. This reduces the need for back-and-forth emails or chats to save time.

Ensure the right individuals or teams see your note

Whispers are visible to your team members, but not your customers. With Whispers, you can mention an agent or team directly. This allows you to direct your internal note to the right person or team.

Create seamless conversation transitions

You can leave Whispers when transferring a conversation to another colleague. This allows for seamless transitions for customers. Get customer issues resolved and questions answered without end-users feeling like they’re talking to multiple people.

Roll by Goodyear uses Whispers to communicate internally. Agents leave colleagues private notes to share important information or ask clarifying questions. It is especially helpful when shifts end so teammates can pick up where the agent left off and customers feel supported and heard.
