  4. Select the available action once and wait for its success or validation response.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • The browser retains the last accessible selected account in staff-scoped storage and in the Inbox URL.
  • Late responses from a previously selected account cannot overwrite the current account view.
  • Bootstrap returns a bounded conversation set and the model enforces an upper limit.
  • Choose Open to focus on conversations actively awaiting or receiving service.

Expected result and verification

  • The requested action completes without a permission, validation, connector or native CRM error.
  • The selected account or conversation shows the expected state without changing another account’s data.
  • Where the action creates evidence, confirm the message, native record, verification event, portal history or audit entry is present.

Security, privacy and troubleshooting checks

  • Never expose connector tokens, loopback ports, authentication directories or raw customer verification replies.
  • Use the supported Connections, Access Control, Settings and Audit Trail pages rather than editing runtime or database records directly.
  • If the expected control is missing, verify both native capability and per-account permission before treating it as an installation fault.
