Channels

One operating model across different entry points

Customers can choose the channel that feels natural while your team keeps one conversation history, one handoff model and one set of approved agent rules.

Shared context

Operators see the customer, transcript and channel context in the same inbox.

Consistent policy

Knowledge, tools and escalation rules belong to the agent, not ad-hoc channel logic.

Channel-aware rollout

Start with the easiest entry point and add provider channels when their external setup is ready.

How to choose the first channel

Choose the channel where customers already show intent and where your team can review the resulting conversations. Website chat is usually the simplest starting point; provider channels may require external approval or commercial accounts.

  • Existing customer demand on the channel
  • Clear ownership for operator handoff
  • Available knowledge and business hours
  • External account and provider readiness

FAQ

Questions before you choose

Can we start with only Channels?

Yes. A focused single-channel pilot is often the clearest way to validate knowledge, handoff and the first customer workflow before expanding.

Do operators see AI and human messages together?

Yes. Telp keeps the conversation history and handoff state in the shared operator inbox.

Are external channel accounts included?

Not always. Some messaging and phone channels require an approved business account, number or provider fee outside the Telp subscription.

Not sure where to start?

Share the channels you use and the customer work that repeats most often. We will suggest one focused first workflow.
