Hi Tina, 
 
The conversation history persisting is an expected behavior with the Messaging feature. The goal is to maintain seamless correspondence with your customers without them needing to re-share info or a loss of progress due to disconnect. Basically to resemble a natural conversation you would have with someone in person.
 
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by grouping the conversations. Would you be able to share more information about what you're trying to achieve? Or screenshots if this is something you've seen done before?

clicking on each brings up those individual conversations

in my end, when the widget is opened the conversations continue in a single window

Hi Tina!
 
Apologies for the delay. So what you're referring to is actually known as multi-party conversations which is a feature exclusively for Sunshine Conversations at the moment. You can learn more about that here. The linked announcement article does include information pertaining to how to get access to the feature with in Sunshine Conversations and a getting started guide.
 
Hope this helps!

Hi Tina!
 
Yes that's correct. This feature is unique to the Sunshine Conversation Platform.

What a way to extort more money from us... Another $500/month for a feature that should already be part of the system...

Hi Nick,
 
I definitely understand your frustration. We do recognize this as an essential feature and therefore multi-conversations is on the roadmap for Messaging as a whole. Unfortunately, currently the only way to achieve this is with Sunshine Conversations.

There is a Support API and a Chat API. How do we get IP address and country/location for chats now routed through Messenger?

Can you point me to the dev resource please.

Have you tried looking at the Ticket Audits API? You're able to view ticket metadata at each ticket update.
