Inbox: Split-view right Panel with dual module support
AC
Current Limitation:
The right-side panel in the Inbox can only display one module at a time. Agents must constantly switch between Contact Details and Activity History, which creates unnecessary friction—especially when both pieces of information are needed simultaneously during live conversations.
Proposed Solution:
- Split-Panel Layout
Introduce a configurable split-view layout that allows two modules to be displayed at the same time within the right panel.
Top Module – Contact Details:
- Displays CRM information such as name, email, phone number, tags, and custom fields
- Provides key customer context at a glance
- Remains visible throughout the conversation for quick reference
Bottom Module – Activity Section:
- Displays the activity feed, including comments, workflows, and system events
- Preserves existing sorting and filtering capabilities
- Allows agents to review conversation-related actions without switching views
- Configuration Options
- Toggle to enable or disable the split-view layout (users can revert to a single-panel view if preferred)
- Adjustable divider to resize the top and bottom sections based on user priority
- Module layout and sizing preferences persist across sessions
- Optional: Allow users to swap module positions (e.g., activity on top, contact details at the bottom)
Benefits:
- Eliminates constant context switching between contact information and activity history
- Improves agent efficiency by showing critical information simultaneously
- Maintains workflow continuity during active customer interactions
- Reduces clicks and cognitive load when handling multiple conversations
