When Dewx Portal Wins

Multi-Channel Reality

Most businesses use 3+ messaging channels:

  • Email for formal communication
  • WhatsApp for quick coordination
  • LinkedIn for B2B outreach
  • Instagram for customer engagement

Portal brings them together.

Context Across Channels

See a contact's full history:

  • Email thread from last month
  • WhatsApp conversation yesterday
  • LinkedIn message from last year

All in one profile.

AI-First Experience

Dew AI is built into every interaction:

  • Draft responses with context
  • Summarize long threads
  • Suggest follow-ups
  • Automate routine replies

CRM Without Extra Steps

Every conversation becomes CRM data:

  • Contacts auto-created
  • Interactions logged
  • No manual data entry

The Hybrid Approach

You don't have to choose exclusively. Many users:

  • Keep Gmail/Outlook for deep email work
  • Use Dewx Portal for unified communication

Portal syncs with your existing email, so nothing is lost.

Real User Scenarios

Before: Gmail + WhatsApp Business + LinkedIn = 3 apps, 3 inboxes, messages everywhere After: Dewx Portal = 1 inbox, all clients, full context

Consultant

Before: Outlook + WhatsApp + separate CRM = copy-paste, manual logging After: Dewx Portal = automatic logging, AI drafts, unified contacts

Small Business

Before: Gmail + Instagram DMs + missed messages After: Dewx Portal = nothing falls through cracks

Making the Switch

What Transfers:

  • All email history syncs
  • Contacts import
  • Conversation threads preserved

What Changes:

  • New unified interface
  • AI assistance available
  • Cross-channel visibility

What You Keep:

  • Your email address

  1. Connect your email to Dewx Portal
  2. Use for a week
  3. See the difference multi-channel unified inbox makes
