On the right side, the complete conversation is displayed, showing both inbound and outbound messages together in one continuous chat view. This layout allows users to easily follow conversations without navigating away from the screen.

Contact Creation and Lead Management

When messaging a new number, users can quickly add it as a contact by clicking the plus (+) icon within the Module. This allows users to create new contacts without switching between Twilio and Zoho CRM, keeping the entire workflow within a single interface.
For ongoing conversations, users also have the option to convert a conversation into a Lead directly from the Module. By selecting the checkbox provided for a conversation, the phone number and chat can be added as a Lead in Zoho CRM.
