How to Manage Campaign Replies in YakChat

Learn how to manage Campaign replies in YakChat and understand how Campaign context helps you identify which Campaign message prompted each response.


Managing Campaign Replies

When someone replies to a Campaign message, YakChat routes the message to the recipient’s 1:1 conversation in the inbox used to send the Campaign. If the reply is received within the configured Reply Window, YakChat also displays the original Campaign message as context.


Understanding the Reply Window

The Reply Window defines how long the system monitors and tracks incoming messages from Campaign recipients. Messages received during this period are treated as Campaign replies and include a reference to the original Campaign message, making the conversation’s context easy to identify.

You configure the Reply Window individually for each message in a Campaign. See how it’s done here.


View Campaign Context on a Reply

When a recipient replies within the Reply Window, you can view the Campaign context directly in the conversation.

  1. Open the inbox used to send the Campaign.
  2. Open the conversation containing the reply.
  3. Find the Campaign context displayed with the incoming message.

The Campaign context includes:

    1. Campaign name
    2. Original Campaign message
    3. Time the Campaign message was sent
This helps users understand what triggered the response without leaving the conversation.

If you need more information than the displayed context provides, you can navigate back to the original Campaign message by clicking Go to Campaign.


Replies Received Outside the Reply Window
  • Replies are still delivered to the sender’s 1:1 conversation.
  • The reply appears as a normal inbound message.
  • No Campaign context is shown.

For example, if your Reply Window is 72 hours and a recipient replies after that time, their message still arrives but is not associated with the Campaign.

This same behavior applies when “Don’t track replies” is selected.


Notifications for Campaign Replies

Campaign replies follow YakChat’s standard messaging behavior:

  • Replies appear in the 1:1 conversation within the Campaign inbox.
  • Incoming message notifications function as usual.
