FAQ and troubleshooting​

Where should I go first in the docs?​

Use this page as a map: pick Inbox if you handle conversations, Agents if you configure AI, Accounts for billing and workspaces. The FAQ hub answers common product questions.

I am lost between Profile and Accounts.​

Profile is your user (password, notifications); Accounts is organization settings (billing, workspaces, API keys). See the links in this article’s sections.
