Where do I find messages from my store's contact page and how do I reply?

Every message a shopper sends from your store's contact page lands in "Customer messages". You can read it and reply by email from the dashboard.

When someone sends you a message from the contact page of your store, it arrives in a dashboard inbox called "Customer messages", and you can reply from there.

Where is the inbox?

In the side menu, under «المبيعات» (Sales), choose "Customer messages" («رسائل العملاء»). When a new message arrives you also get a dashboard notification.

What's on the page

  • Cards at the top: "Total messages", "New", "Read" and "Replied".
  • A search box for name, email or message text.
  • The message list: status ("New", "Read" or "Replied"), sender, the start of the message, and the date.

How do I read and reply to a message?

  1. Click the "View message" icon on the message's row. A window opens with the sender's email, phone, the date sent and the full message.
  2. Type your answer in "Your reply".
  3. Click "Send reply". The reply is emailed to the customer and the message's status changes to "Replied".

If the reply couldn't be sent, you'll see "Could not send the reply." — try again a little later, or call the customer.

Keeping the inbox tidy

  • "Mark read" and "Mark unread" help you remember which messages still need follow-up.
  • The delete button removes a message after confirming "Delete this message permanently?" — it can't be restored.

Note: replies are sent from the platform's email address in your store's name, so if the customer answers your email it won't necessarily come back here. If the conversation needs follow-up, include a direct way to reach you in your reply (such as your store's WhatsApp number).
