Conversation Statuses

The four statuses a conversation moves through: WAITING, ACTIVE, RESOLVED, and CLOSED.

Every conversation in Kerabie has a status that reflects where it is in its lifecycle.

The four statuses

StatusMeaning
WaitingA visitor sent a message and no agent has replied yet
ActiveAn agent is engaged; the conversation is open and in progress
ResolvedThe issue was handled; the conversation is closed but retrievable
ClosedPermanently archived: visible in history but removed from the active queue

Changing status

In the conversation panel, use the status dropdown in the top-right corner:

  • Resolve: marks the conversation resolved and removes it from the main queue
  • Close: archives it permanently
  • Reopen: moves a resolved conversation back to Active

Auto-resolve

You can configure Kerabie to automatically resolve conversations after a period of inactivity:

  1. Go to Settings → Widget Settings → Auto-resolve
  2. Set the inactivity threshold (e.g. 24 hours)
  3. Save

Conversations that are auto-resolved appear with a "System" label in the activity log.

Filtering by status

In the Conversations inbox, use the status filter buttons at the top to view:

  • All conversations
  • Waiting only
  • Active only
  • Resolved

Closed conversations are available under History.
