Sharing Your Inbox

Scenario: You want your support agent to see only VIP customer chats, your manager to have full control, and a freelance translator to view but not send messages. The Share Wizard makes this possible in 4 clicks.

Prerequisites

  • An active Spun subscription (scoped roles require the Power plan)
  • At least one saved filter if using scoped roles

How to share access

  1. Open the Team panel from the sidebar.
  2. Click "Share Access" to launch the Share Wizard.
  3. Step 1 — Who: Enter the email or phone of the person to invite. Toggle Spun Chat access on/off.
  4. Step 2 — Role: Pick a preset (Viewer / Team Member / Manager / Full Control). Optionally click "Customize permissions" to toggle individual flags.
  5. Step 3 — Filters: If using a scoped role, select which saved filters they can access.
  6. Step 4 — Review: Confirm details and send the invitation.

8 granular permission flags

After choosing a preset, you can customize these individually:

  • can_send_messages — Send text, media, voice
  • can_schedule_messages — Schedule messages for later
  • can_edit_shared_labels — Create/edit labels visible to the team
  • can_edit_contacts — Modify contact details and notes
  • can_set_admin_alarms — Create reminders for others
  • can_use_ai — Access AI Compose, Summarize, Translate
  • can_archive_chats — Archive/unarchive conversations
  • can_manage_payment_reminders — Set up payment reminder flows

WARNING

can_schedule_messages and can_manage_payment_reminders both require can_send_messages to be enabled.

Contact visibility levels

  • None — No contact details shown (phone, name hidden)
  • Chat only — Can see chat messages but not phone numbers or contact details
  • Full — Full access to contact information

Quick invite from contact drawer

You can also invite directly from any contact's detail drawer:

  1. Open a chat → click the contact name.
  2. Click "Invite by phone" in the drawer.
  3. The Share Wizard opens pre-filled with that contact's number.

Pro tips

  • Filter-scoped access is the key to security — create saved filters like "VIP Customers" or "Hebrew speakers" and assign them.
  • Spun Chat toggle is separate from inbox access — you can give someone Spun Chat without any WhatsApp inbox visibility.
  • Extra seats cost varies by plan: $25/mo (Basic), $35/mo (Pro), $50/mo (Power). See Pricing for details.
