# Inbox

> Reply to DMs, mentions and comments from Ocoya — and which networks are supported.

Inbox brings the conversations happening on your social channels into Ocoya, so you can reply without opening each network separately.

## Supported networks

<Warning>
  Inbox supports **Facebook and Instagram only**. Other networks are not yet available, even though you can publish to them from Ocoya.
</Warning>

This catches people out: you can schedule to twelve networks, but only two feed the Inbox. Connecting X or LinkedIn will not make their messages appear. Ocoya says so in the profile list too.

## What's in the Inbox

Inbox has three tabs:

| Tab          | What it shows                                                   |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **DMs**      | Direct messages sent to your Facebook Page or Instagram account |
| **Mentions** | Posts and stories where someone mentioned you                   |
| **Comments** | Comments left on your posts                                     |

Each can be filtered by **Open**, **Resolved** and **Assigned to me**, so a shared inbox doesn't turn into two people answering the same message.

## Working through conversations

Select a conversation to open it, then reply directly. When you're finished with a thread, mark it **Resolved** so it leaves the Open list. Anyone else in the brand sees the same state.

Use **Assigned to me** when several people work the same inbox — assign a thread to yourself so colleagues know it's handled.

## Turning a channel on or off

Each connected Facebook and Instagram profile has a toggle in the profile list on the left of the Inbox. Switch a profile off to stop its conversations appearing, without disconnecting the channel or affecting publishing.

## Letting Ocoya draft a reply

In a DM thread, Ocoya can suggest a reply for you. It reads the **last four messages** in the conversation and drafts a response in your brand's voice, which lands in the reply box for you to edit before sending — nothing is sent automatically.

It costs 1 credit per suggestion. See [What are credits?](/help/credits)

A very short thread gives it nothing to work from, and Ocoya says so rather than guessing:

> The conversation is too short to suggest a reply

## Automating replies

Inbox conversations can trigger automations — auto-replying to DMs, responding to mentions, or sending a DM when someone comments. Those are set up under **Workflows**, and each run costs a credit.

## Common questions

**"Why can't I see my X messages?"** Inbox is Facebook and Instagram only.

**"A colleague replied and I didn't know."** Use **Assigned to me** and mark threads Resolved.

**"My messages stopped appearing."** The channel may need reconnecting — Inbox uses the same access as publishing. See [Reconnect a channel](/help/reconnect-a-channel).

**"Older conversations are missing."** Networks limit how far back an app can read. Very old threads may not be retrievable.
