Using the Agent Workspace
Overview
The Velaro Agent Workspace (messaging.velaro.com) is where your team manages live conversations, views customer information, and uses AI-assisted tools. Everything is accessible in a single, unified interface.
Conversation List
The left panel shows all active, queued, and recent conversations. Conversations are color-coded by status: green (active), yellow (waiting for customer), red (overdue SLA). Click any conversation to open it.
Conversation Panel
The center panel is the conversation itself. Key features:
- Reply box — type or paste a response. Use
/to trigger canned responses. - Canned Responses — pre-written replies for common questions. Search by keyword.
- Transfer — hand off the conversation to another agent or team.
- Bot Toggle — re-enable the AI bot to handle the conversation.
- Attachments — send files, images, or voice messages.
Customer Sidebar
The right sidebar shows everything known about the customer:
- CRM record (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) — auto-loaded on conversation start
