Configure Backoffice Conversations Workflow in the Back-Office 

Note

The conversations feature is available as of OroCommerce version 6.0.4 as a Conversations extension, which you can download from the Oro Extensions Store. Next, use the composer to install it on your application.

Oro offers a conversation feature for easy communication between back-office and storefront users. Conversations allow back-office staff to share information and communicate with other back-office users or customer users in the storefront. The Conversations Workflow is a system workflow that provides the following default statuses for the conversation feature: Active, Inactive, Closed.
