If something goes wrong

  • An older conversation isn’t listed.

    Recent threads shows your 50 most recent conversations. Older ones aren’t listed.

  • Data chat seems to forget the start of a long conversation.

    It remembers the last 20 messages of a thread. Press New and restate what you need.

  • A teammate can’t find a conversation you had.

    Only the person who started a thread can open it. Press Copy on the answer and share it instead.

How it works

Explainer: Conversations, history and suggestions

Each conversation is a thread. Your first question starts one, and it’s listed under Recent threads so you can pick it up later. Only you can open your threads.

  • A thread is named after the first 60 characters of its first question.
  • Recent threads lists your 50 most recent threads, newest activity first, dated Today, Yesterday or by date.
  • Within a thread, Data chat remembers the last 20 messages, so follow-ups like “now by campaign” work. Press New when you change topic.
  • Only you can open your threads. Teammates, including Owners and Admins, can’t open them.
  • Threads can’t be renamed, deleted or searched.
  • Suggested offers up to four starter questions. With Facebook Ads or Google Ads connected, they’re about those platforms. Pressing one sends it straight away.
