Labels in Chatwoot can help you easily categorize and prioritize conversations, making it easier to manage your workflow. By assigning a label to a conversation from the chat's side panel, you can quickly identify the topic or status of the conversation.
Labels are account-specific, which means you can use them to create custom workflows that are unique to your organization. You can also customize the colors of your labels to help differentiate them, and display them on the sidebar for easy filtering.
