Operational inbox

Public vs internal support replies

Public and internal support replies need different spaces. Opkivo keeps customer replies separate from internal notes, tasks, decisions, and team activity inside one operational inbox.

Problem

Where shared support work breaks down.

  • Teams need to discuss sensitive or unfinished context before replying.
  • Customer-facing replies and private notes can blur in a busy inbox.
  • Internal decisions disappear in chat and are hard to audit later.

FAQ

Questions about public vs internal support replies

What is the difference between Public and Internal in Opkivo?

Public is for customer replies. Internal is for team notes, tasks, decisions, and system activity.

Yes. Internal work can lead to tasks that remain linked to the support thread.

Does Opkivo send internal notes to customers?

Internal notes are intended for team collaboration, separate from public customer replies.

Is public/internal separation useful outside support?

Yes. Any service team that handles customer work by email can benefit from separating customer communication from internal work.
