Managing Contact & Enquiry Settings

The Contact & Enquiry Settings in CINNOX empower your team to manage customer interactions with greater efficiency and control. By configuring these settings, you can:

• Automatically assign new chat enquiries to designated staff
• Automatically close inactive enquiries with clear notifications to visitors
• Mask phone numbers to protect contact information

These features help streamline operations while maintaining privacy and transparency. For auto-close activities, CINNOX will notify visitors and customers with a countdown showing how many hours or days remain before the enquiry is closed.
