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
The 4 role presets
| Role | Can see | Can send | Can edit | Plan required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Viewer | Chats within assigned filters | ❌ | ❌ | Power |
| Team Member | Chats within assigned filters | ✅ | ❌ | Power |
| Manager | Chats within assigned filters | ✅ | ✅ | Power |
| Full Control | Entire inbox | ✅ | ✅ | Any plan |
How to share access
- Open the Team panel from the sidebar.
- Click "Share Access" to launch the Share Wizard.
- Step 1 — Who: Enter the email or phone of the person to invite. Toggle Spun Chat access on/off.
- Step 2 — Role: Pick a preset (Viewer / Team Member / Manager / Full Control). Optionally click "Customize permissions" to toggle individual flags.
- Step 3 — Filters: If using a scoped role, select which saved filters they can access.
- 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, voicecan_schedule_messages— Schedule messages for latercan_edit_shared_labels— Create/edit labels visible to the teamcan_edit_contacts— Modify contact details and notescan_set_admin_alarms— Create reminders for otherscan_use_ai— Access AI Compose, Summarize, Translatecan_archive_chats— Archive/unarchive conversationscan_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:
- Open a chat → click the contact name.
- Click "Invite by phone" in the drawer.
- 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.

|---|---|
| Can't assign scoped roles | Upgrade to Power plan |
