Common business problem

Managing 5 different messaging apps is burning your team out

Your team juggles WhatsApp on one phone, Instagram DMs on a tablet, emails on a laptop, and SMS on another device — and still misses messages. Customer conversations are siloed, context is lost, and the person available is never the one who knows the history.

Why this keeps happening

This problem is structural — it will not fix itself without the right system in place.

  • Each channel is a separate app with no shared history
  • Multiple staff share one WhatsApp business account — no individual accountability
  • Customer sends a message on Instagram, follows up on WhatsApp — zero context carried
  • Reporting is impossible: no way to see total message volume or response time across channels
  • Staff burn out switching contexts and are blamed for drops that are actually structural

How DMHub fixes it

A system built specifically for this problem

1

One inbox for every channel

WhatsApp, SMS, email, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, and web widget all stream into a single DMHub inbox. One view, one team, zero channel-switching.

2

Shared customer timeline

Every message a customer has ever sent — regardless of channel — appears in their unified timeline. Reply on WhatsApp to a question they started on Instagram without losing a beat.

3

Team inbox with assignment and notes

Assign conversations to specific team members. Leave internal notes (invisible to the customer) for context. Know who is handling what at a glance.

4

Cross-channel analytics in one dashboard

See total message volume, response times, resolution rates, and agent performance across every channel in a single report. Know what is working without spreadsheet wrangling.

Frequently asked questions

Can multiple team members use DMHub simultaneously?

Yes. DMHub is a multi-user platform. You can have unlimited team members, each with their own login, and assign conversations to individuals or teams. Responses show the agent name, not just the brand.

Does DMHub replace WhatsApp Business?

DMHub replaces the WhatsApp Business app for your team — you send and receive through DMHub, which connects to the WhatsApp Business API on your behalf. Your WhatsApp number stays the same.

Can I connect an existing WhatsApp Business number?

Yes. If you already have a verified WhatsApp Business number, DMHub can migrate it. If not, DMHub guides you through the Meta Embedded Signup in under 10 minutes.

What happens to messages sent to each channel while we set up?

During the connection process, messages still arrive at each original channel. Once connected, they all flow into DMHub. There is no blackout window.

Is there a mobile app for field staff?

DMHub is a mobile-responsive web app that works on any smartphone browser. A native iOS and Android app is on the roadmap for Q3 2026.
