# Marking Conversations as Open or Closed

WapCRM allows agents and supervisors to **mark conversations as "Open" or "Closed"**, helping teams manage **customer inquiries efficiently** and maintain a **clear workflow**. This feature is essential for **tracking the status of conversations**, ensuring **no messages are overlooked**, and providing **better customer support**.

***

**What Does "Open" and "Closed" Mean in WapCRM?**

* **Open:** Indicates that a conversation **requires further action** or is **awaiting a response**.
* **Closed:** Shows that the conversation is **resolved**, and no further action is needed.

💡 **Tip:** Conversations marked as **Closed** can be **reopened** if the customer follows up or if additional support is required.
