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.
