# Profiles and your Flow inbox

> Skode CRM and Skode Flow share people: when someone messages you on WhatsApp, Instagram or web chat, Flow’s conversation links to a CRM profile, and the profile’s Conversations tab shows the same thread. Update a profile in either place and both stay in sync.

Your inbox and your CRM are two views of the same people. Here’s how they connect, so nothing is typed twice.

## Step 1: A new chat creates the link

When a new person messages you on WhatsApp, Instagram or web chat, Skode connects the conversation to a profile — matching an existing one where it can.

## Step 2: See the chat from the profile

On the profile’s **Conversations** tab, the thread is the same one your team answers in Skode Flow.

## Step 3: See the profile from the chat

In Flow’s inbox, the person’s panel shows their CRM details — tags, owner, fields — right beside the conversation.
