Messages and media

The composer​

The composer is at the bottom of the conversation and brings together:

  • Text with the channel's basic formatting;
  • Emojis, GIFs, and stickers in the smiley-icon selector;
  • Attachments — image, video, audio, document, and vCard;
  • Voice recording — record and send straight from the browser;
  • Quick replies — saved text shortcuts;
  • Templates — approved messages to reopen the 24-hour window;
  • Whisper — an internal message in the customer conversation: the team sees it, the customer never does. See Whisper mode and private mode.

Content types​

  • Text — simple, with links and lists.
  • Media — image, video, audio, and document. Each channel has its own size limits and accepted formats; a type refused by the channel returns unsupported_content_type in the API/MCP.
  • Location, contact (vCard), and payment link — when the channel supports it.
  • Interactive messages — buttons and lists (when the provider and the template allow it).

The 24-hour window​

Providers only allow freeform text while the customer has interacted in the last 24 hours. Outside this window:

  1. The composer blocks free sending and offers the channel's approved templates.
  2. After the customer replies, the window reopens and freeform text works again.

This behavior comes from the provider, not a choice by agents2.me — and it applies equally to the Inbox, the API, and MCP.

Template scheduling​

The menu next to Transfer lets you schedule a WhatsApp template:

  • the message shows a clock marker until it is sent;
  • the minimum scheduling is 5 minutes ahead;
  • scheduled templates cannot be internal notes;
  • cancellation is done through the context menu of the message itself.

File preview​

Documents and images have a preview in the chat — including PDF, with a local cache to open quickly next time.
