Unified Inbox
Understanding the Dalil Unified Inbox
The Dalil Unified Inbox is the operational center of your Sales Operating System.
Instead of switching between email clients, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and CRM tools, Dalil centralizes all conversations in one place and connects them directly to your CRM records.
Every message, reply, and interaction becomes part of your sales workflow. Conversations are not separate from the CRM, they are the starting point that creates and updates records, pipelines, tasks, and automation.
Why conversations are the center of Dalil
Traditional CRMs require manual updates after conversations happen. Sales teams send messages in external tools and later try to document what happened.
Dalil works differently.
Conversations are the source of truth.
When you communicate with a contact through Dalil, the platform automatically connects that interaction to the relevant Person, Company, or Opportunity record.
This means:
Conversations update CRM records automatically
New contacts can become CRM records in one click
Pipeline stages can be updated directly from a conversation
Tasks and follow-ups can be created while replying
Instead of logging activity manually, Dalil keeps your CRM accurate through real conversations.
Supported Channels
The Dalil Unified Inbox aggregates conversations from multiple communication channels.
Currently supported channels include:
Email: Send and receive emails directly from Dalil once your email account is connected.
WhatsApp: Manage WhatsApp conversations with prospects and customers while automatically linking them to CRM records.
LinkedIn: Sync LinkedIn messaging so prospect conversations become part of your CRM workflow.
Telegram: Capture Telegram interactions and keep them visible alongside other conversations.
Instagram: Manage Instagram direct messages from the same inbox used for sales communication.
Each conversation thread clearly displays the channel it originated from, allowing you to manage multi-channel relationships in a single timeline.
The Unified Inbox layout
The Dalil inbox is designed to function as a daily workspace for sales teams.
The interface follows a three-column layout:
1. Navigation and filters
The left sidebar allows you to organize and filter conversations.
You can filter by:
Communication channel
People or company attributes
Pipeline or opportunity tags
Sequence status
Activity status
Common quick views include:
Assigned to me
Unassigned
Pinned conversations
Archived conversations
Unread messages
Needs reply
Saved views allow teams to create custom inbox workflows based on their sales process.
2. Conversation list
The center column displays the list of conversation threads.
Each thread shows:
Contact name and avatar
Company name if known
Channel icon
Last message preview
Unread message count
Conversation timestamp
Status indicators such as tracked or untracked in the CRM
From this list you can quickly open conversations, archive threads, assign them to teammates, or link them to CRM records.
3. Conversation workspace
The right section displays the active conversation.
Here you can:
Read the full message history
View attachments, voice notes, or files
Reply directly from Dalil
Use AI tools to summarize conversations or draft replies
This area is where most day-to-day sales communication happens.
Connecting conversations to CRM records
A core capability of the Dalil Unified Inbox is the ability to connect conversations directly to CRM records.
When a message arrives from a new contact, Dalil can automatically suggest creating a Person record.
From a conversation you can:
Create a new Person record
Link the conversation to an existing Person or Company
Create an Opportunity linked to the conversation
Attach the thread to a pipeline stage
Once linked, the conversation becomes part of the record’s activity timeline.
This ensures that every interaction with a contact is visible in the CRM.
Turning conversations into sales actions
The Unified Inbox is not only for messaging. It is designed to help teams take action directly from conversations.
While reading or replying to a message, you can:
Create a follow-up task
Schedule a meeting
Add the contact to a sequence
Move an opportunity to a new pipeline stage
Add notes or internal comments
Dalil also provides AI suggestions to help determine the next step in a conversation.
This transforms the inbox from a messaging tool into a sales execution workspace.
AI tools inside the Inbox
Dalil integrates AI capabilities directly into the conversation workspace.
AI tools can help you:
Summarize long conversation threads
Understand the relationship context across channels
Draft replies based on conversation history
Suggest the next action in the sales process
Because AI has access to CRM records and conversation history, its suggestions are grounded in real context.
Why the Unified Inbox matters
Sales teams often lose context because conversations happen across different tools.
Dalil solves this by making the inbox the center of operations.
With the Unified Inbox you can:
Manage multi-channel conversations from one workspace
Automatically connect conversations to CRM records
Turn messages into tasks, opportunities, and workflows
Use AI to guide follow-ups and decision-making
This approach keeps your CRM accurate while allowing your team to work directly where conversations happen.
Key outcome
The Dalil Unified Inbox transforms conversations into structured sales activity.
By centralizing messaging across channels and linking it directly to CRM records, Dalil ensures that every interaction becomes part of your sales system.
Instead of updating the CRM after conversations, the CRM updates itself through the conversations your team already has.
