Mac + CRM Conversations
Keep using the iPhone number or Apple Account already active in Messages on your Mac. Write each 1:1 reply from the customer’s CRM conversation, and see new supported replies in that same thread.
Blue bubbles require iMessage availability. Other phone-number messages may use SMS when Text Message Forwarding is enabled; carrier charges may apply.
Your Messages account, inside your CRM
Your team stays in the contact conversation while the paired Mac sends from the number or Apple Account already active in Messages.
Select LinePort as the conversation provider and write a normal 1:1 reply. Phone numbers use the service available to Messages—iMessage or SMS—and LinePort also routes the first attached photo.
New text, supported photos and video, and tapbacks return to the existing contact thread. Voice messages can include a local English transcript.
The menu-bar app shows the connected account, sending identity, SMS forwarding, Full Disk Access, and whether the Mac is online.
LinePort supports personal 1:1 replies. It does not send workflow messages, campaigns, or repeated outreach across many contacts.
LinePort adds imessage or sms only after Messages confirms the service. A contact can have both tags over time.
Install across multiple CRM business accounts and see each account’s own Mac, sending identity, Messages status, SMS readiness, reply access, and billing state.
Setup
One paired Mac powers one business account. Re-pairing intentionally replaces the previous Mac.
Install LinePort on the business account, sign into Messages on the Mac, download LinePort, and move it to Applications.
Open the setup page from your business account and click Open LinePort to pair. The menu-bar app confirms the connected account.
Enable Full Disk Access so replies can be read, turn on launch at login, and keep the Mac awake while connected.
Designed for personal follow-up
Use LinePort when a customer already knows your iPhone number or Apple Account and your team needs that conversation in the CRM. It works with existing contacts and starts with new messages after pairing.
