The inbox as a messaging app — screens, gestures and sheets on phones and tablets
On a phone, CRM → Conversations works like a messaging app: one thing at a time —
the inbox, a thread, a contact’s details — with every menu, filter and confirmation as a
sheet you can swipe away. Nothing from the desktop page is missing; it is re-arranged for a
thumb and an on-screen keyboard.Open dashboard.dialtu.com in the phone’s browser and sign in as usual. On a phone you land
on the inbox straight away. To keep it one tap away, add the page to your home screen from
the browser’s share menu.
The phone layout switches on below 768 px wide. Between 768 and 1023 px (tablets)
the inbox stays beside the thread; from 1024 px you get the three-pane desktop page.
The messages, the composer and — in the header — who is handling the conversation.
Tap the name, the session strip or the ⓘ button to open the contact’s details.

Contact details
Everything the desktop right-hand panel shows: contact, human support, Salesflow, tags,
active automations, Activity and Notes.
‹ in the header, or the phone’s own back gesture, always goes back one screen. Each screen
has its own address, so a link or a notification can open a thread directly — Back from there
still takes you to the inbox.
The inbox — ≡ opens the app menu; the check badge counts conversations with unread messages
The header carries the app menu (≡), the Live / Offline indicator, Mark all as
read (its badge counts the conversations with unread messages) and Add client. Below it,
search, the filter button and the All · My Inbox · Unread tabs.Each row shows the avatar with the channel badge (green WhatsApp, blue SMS, purple voice), the
name in bold when unread, a Transfer / Review / New chip when it applies, the time,
then the handling icon (robot = the AI is replying, person = a teammate is), the last message,
the assignee’s initials and the unread count. The phone number moved to the thread header.

The filter sheet has the same four controls as the desktop menu — Tags, Assignee and

as you change them; Apply closes the sheet and Cancel restores what you had.
The list updates in real time. If the connection drops, Live turns into Offline and a

over the list — tap it to jump to the top with a fresh list.

The session strip is the desktop session header on one line — channel, who is handling,
engine, agent, and for calls the direction, status, duration and disposition. Swipe it
sideways if it is longer than the screen.Messages look exactly as on the desktop: customer on the left, the AI and your team on the
right, tool executions as cards, system notes as centred pills. Scroll up to load older
messages; a jump to latest button with an unread count appears while you are scrolled up.
On WhatsApp, tap the small reply arrow beside a message to quote it in your reply.
The ⋯ actions sheet
The actions sheet gathers what lives in several places on the desktop: End Session,
Take Over or Return to AI (whichever applies), Mark as unread, Edit customer
name, Copy phone number and Open client detail. It is searchable.
The composer is one banner row and one input row. The banner says who is handling the
conversation and carries the one button that changes it; the input row holds the channel
chip, +, the message field and mic or send.

What it does
Channel chip (green WhatsApp, blue SMS, purple voice)

Typing — the field grows and Send replaces the mic
⋯ → End Session asks how the customer is told the conversation is over — a generic
closing message, one written by the AI, one you type, or ending without a message. SMS
sessions end without a closing message.
Pick Voice in the channel sheet, or open a past call from Activity: the transcript shows
the AI summary and the recording at the top, and the composer becomes the agent picker,
call settings and Start Call.

Tags and Active automations behave as on the desktop — tap a session under Active
automations to open it.Under Activity, tap any past call or chat to open its transcript in the thread; the
details screen closes by itself. The filter button opens period, type, agent and disposition
tag as a sheet.
Every menu, filter and confirmation opens as a sheet from the bottom of the screen. Close one
by dragging its handle down, tapping outside it, or pressing the phone’s Back —
Back closes the sheet first and never leaves the thread, so a message you were typing is
still there.
Between 768 and 1023 px the inbox stays on the left and the thread fills the rest; there is no
back arrow. The contact’s details slide over from the right — tap outside to close them, or
tap an Activity item to open that session behind them.
