In-app support in VGraple CRM: a support thread with the product team

New workspaces can now message a sandbox WhatsApp number with a JOIN code before connecting their own number, load a sample workspace with realistic conversations, and get a day-0 concierge thread in the support desk.

What changed

  • A setup wizard routes new accounts to the right first step (connect a number, try the sandbox, or import contacts).
  • Sample data is clearly marked, never reaches WhatsApp and does not count toward plan limits; remove it in one click.
  • The sandbox number binds one organisation per phone number; only JOINed numbers can be messaged.
  • A funnel view in the system console shows where activation stalls.

What to do

Nothing is required. The change applies to every workspace. If you notice a behaviour that differs from a help article, the article date tells you whether it predates this release; write to [email protected] and we will correct it.
