Moderate Hosted chat
On Hosted ($19.99), messages and files live on Bootstrapware. The embed collects plain text and allowlisted attachments; you own moderation decisions in the dashboard inbox.
That is the trade: less BYO plumbing, more responsibility for content policy on stored prose and files.
What you can do in the inbox
- Open threads, read bodies, and inspect attachment metadata (not a substitute for your own policy).
- Send as Team (author id
team). Inbox send is dashboard-only, not MCP. - Delete or archive conversations.
- Export Hosted inbox JSON from the dashboard when you need an offline copy (bodies included in export).
Hosted events can emit chat.* webhooks (ids only).
Content policy
Messages are plain text (max 4,000). Attachments are jpeg/png/webp/gif/pdf up to 10 MB. There is no virus scanning product surface. Treat Hosted content like user-generated text and files you are responsible for reviewing. MCP never carries bodies; do not invent tools that do.
Cancel Hosted
- Writes freeze immediately when Hosted entitlement ends, including uploads.
- Dashboard JSON export remains available for 30 days.
- After that window, Hosted messages and objects are deleted. The storage add-on cancels with Hosted.
The same cancel timeline is stated on product privacy, billing, and Terms. Export before the window closes if you need continuity.
When BYO is a better fit
If you cannot store customer messages on Bootstrapware, or you need custom retention, use BYO ($9.99) with your own store. See BYO vs Hosted.
