Looking for an Omnichannel Messaging Platform?

From getting a local virtual number to enabling you to receive calls from all over the globe, we have got you covered with our competitive plans and high-quality service. CINNOX offers virtual numbers that enable you to manage calls from any device, anywhere in the world.

Get Started

The Room Information panel displays different details, depending on the type of room you have in your Recent Connections:

Types of Room

Space room - for internal (private and public) group chat
Conference room - for conference calls

Enquiry Room

The enquiry room provides details to help you know more about the visitor or customer you are engaging with.

Enquiry Information: Enquiry ID, Channel, Channel Detail, Language, Location and Time
Visitor Information: information gathered from the Visitor Forms such as First name, Last name, Phone number and others. And the staff agent can add more information about the visitor
Device Information: Platform and its User Agent, Screen size, Local time, Geo Location
UTＭ Information: Refer to the UTM Information section (when available)
Destination Information: Destination name, Destination type, Destination endpoint

UTM Information

The Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) Information in the chat room refers to the customisable parameters you can add to a web link. The values of these parameters help you track the source and provide extra information from the enquiries initiated by visitors or customers.

UTM Information	UTM Parameter	Description
UTM Campaign	utm_campaign	Recognise the associated campaign.
UTM Content	utm_content	Indicate the exact element the visitor clicked in your campaign.
UTM Medium	utm_medium	Indicate the channel utilised by the visitor for enquiring.
UTM Source	utm_source	Show the source of the visitor.
UTM Term	utm_term	Identify the targeted paid keywords within your campaign.
UTM {parameter}	utm_{parameter}	This custom UTM allows the agent to define the specific UTM parameter within the weblink. For example, if adding a member ID is necessary, the agent can define "utm_memberid" as a UTM parameter.

By using UTM parameters, you can track the performance of your campaigns and content and optimise them for better results.

📘
Please note that UTM Information supports enquiries from Weblinks of Direct Chat and Call Enquiry provided by staff agents. However, it does not support Weblinks from Social channels.

👍

You can manually add the UTM parameters to the weblink to collect the UTM information. Or, alternatively, you can use a builder, like Campaign URL Builder, to facilitate the addition of the UTM parameters.

You can access the UTM Information for more details about your campaign, such as the source, medium, and specific content that drives the enquiry, aiding you in fine-tuning your campaign strategy for better results.

In the chat room, the CINNOXbot system message will provide information also such as:

The visitor enquiry channel - via Tag, Weblink, Virtual Number, Social or Third Party Channel.

And the following information when the Visitor Form is enabled.
