How do I cancel Conversations?

Introduction

The Cancel Conversations feature in ActiveCampaign allows users to disable the Conversations functionality, which is crucial if you no longer wish to leverage chat capabilities on your website or manage customer messages through the unified inbox. Understanding how to cancel Conversations not only helps in managing your account effectively but also ensures a smoother transition if you're switching to another communication method.

Once Conversations is canceled, it is important to note that the feature will be disabled, leading to no further inbound messages and removal of the chat widget from your site. Despite the cancellation, data accumulated prior to the cancellation will still be accessible in the unified inbox and contact records.

How to Access the Feature

To begin the cancellation process, you must be registered as the Primary Admin on your ActiveCampaign account. The cancellation can be initiated from the Manage Seats page within the Conversations section of your account.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to cancel Conversations:

1. Log in to your ActiveCampaign account.
2. Navigate to the Conversations section in the main menu.
3. Click on Manage Seats to access the seat management options.
4. Locate and click the Email Support button. This will prompt you to initiate a support request for canceling Conversations.

In your support request, specify that you would like to cancel the Conversations feature for your account.

Configuration Options and Settings

While canceling Conversations does not involve extensive configuration options, it is important to recognize the implications of cancellation:

- As part of the cancellation process, the following will occur:

 * No new inbound messages will be received in the unified inbox.
 * The chat widget will no longer be visible on your website.
 * New emails forwarded from your inbox provider can still reach the unified inbox, but replies are disabled.
 * You will not be able to respond to received messages from the unified inbox or the mobile app.

These settings will significantly change how communications are managed within your organization.

Best Practices and Tips

- Before canceling Conversations, ensure your team is aware of the change to minimize disruption in customer interactions. - Consider exporting important communication data from Conversations to retain records prior to cancellation. - Explore alternative customer service tools or features to replace the functionality that Conversations provided. - Inform your users on your website that the chat feature will no longer be available to set expectations.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during the cancellation process: - Verify that you are logged in as the Primary Admin, as only this role has the privilege to cancel Conversations. - Make sure you are following the correct navigation path to reach the Manage Seats page. - If the Email Support button is not functioning, try refreshing your browser or logging out and logging back into your account. If issues persist, reach out to ActiveCampaign support for assistance.
