Web flow vs message flow
Web flow vs message flow
SMOC has one Studio and Console, but two native conversation runtimes.
Web flow
- Runs in-page: chat or card experiences on your site, ads, iframe embeds, or SMOC landing pages (
go2.smoc.ai). - Studio tabs: Compose → Design → Style → Settings.
- Best for inbound traffic, landing pages, and interactive ads.
- Outcomes: interactions, smart clicks, smart identified leads from web capture.
Message flow (LinkedIn)
- Runs async LinkedIn outreach: profile view, connect, DM/InMail, waits, suggested replies.
- Studio tabs: Compose → Design → Targeting (no Style tab—the UI is LinkedIn’s inbox).
- Best for outbound B2B when you have sender accounts and prospect lists.
- Human-in-the-loop via Console Inbox when the flow pauses on Suggested Replies.
Analytics (sessions & users)
| Web flow | LinkedIn message flow | |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Sessions | Visitor opens / begins the flow | Successful profile view, connection send, DM, or InMail |
| Unique Users | Distinct visitors in the range | Distinct contacts with that activity |
| Does not count | — | Enrollment alone, or waits before the first successful LinkedIn action |
Message-flow Breakdown (on a single agent or rolled up on the company Agents Breakdown tab) also shows outbound actions for the selected date range, a planned actions table for the next seven days, and an outreach funnel (enrolled, connects, and so on). Outbound actions follow your date filter; the funnel and planned schedule do not. Details: Reading Agents analytics in Console.
What is not a native channel (yet)
Email, WhatsApp, and SMS are useful to distribute links into a web flow (or notify people), but they are not peer conversation runtimes alongside web and LinkedIn today.
Choosing quickly
| Situation | Prefer |
|---|---|
| Homepage / LP / paid social landing | Web flow |
| Account-based outbound on LinkedIn | Message flow |
| Need brand theme & iframe | Web flow |
| Need connect → DM sequences | Message flow |
