Not as a feature. TimelinesAI's pricing table lists a Groups API as not included on Starter and Pro and coming soon on Enterprise, and its home page mentions group chats and call logging only as a use of its QR connection. There is no dedicated groups feature in the pages we read.
What do the vendor's own pages say?
| Item | What the page says |
|---|---|
| Groups API | Not included on Starter or Pro; coming soon on Enterprise |
| Dedicated groups feature | None named on the home page |
| Mention on the home page | Group chats and call logging, as a use of the QR connection |
| How a number connects | QR scan, with coexistence and Meta-API modes also described |
| Headline job | Sync every conversation to your CRM, manage accounts from one shared inbox, automate with workflows |
What does that mean in practice?
- There is a difference between seeing a group and managing one. A QR-linked number can show a group's chat, but a Groups API is what would let a workflow send into groups or read their members, and it is not on the plan most teams will buy.
- TimelinesAI's pitch is CRM sync, and a group chat does not map neatly to a CRM contact. If groups are where your customers are, the tool's design is working against you.
- Because the table says Enterprise is where the Groups API arrives, ask for its date in writing before you plan around it.
What should you test or ask?
- Link a number in the 10-day trial and see how a group appears in the inbox and in your CRM sync.
- Ask what the Groups API will do on Enterprise: send, read members, manage, or only read.
- Ask when it is expected, and whether it will be in Pro.
- If groups matter now, compare a group-first tool before you commit seats.
What can 'supports groups' mean?
| Level | What it means | How to ask |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Visible | A group's chat appears in the inbox | Show me a group I belong to |
| 2. Answerable | You can reply into the group from the tool | Reply to a message in a live group |
| 3. Postable | You can send into many groups on a schedule | Schedule one message to ten groups |
| 4. Manageable | You can add or remove members and see admins | Add a member in front of me |
| 5. Measurable | Reports per group: activity, reads, members | Show the report for one group |
A Groups API would sit at levels 3 to 5. The pages we read place it on Enterprise and describe it as coming soon, so ask which levels the QR connection reaches today.
Where does WavesFlo fit?
WavesFlo treats a group as a chat like any other, so a group is visible, answerable and postable from one inbox where groups sit beside direct chats, and its reports show each group's busiest hours and delivery and read rates. It is sold as a single yearly quote on numbers and team members.
