We establish convolution inequalities for Besov spaces $B_{ p,q}^s$ and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces $F_{ p,q}^s$. As an application, we study the mapping properties of convolution semigroups, considered as operators on the function spaces $A_{ p,q}^s$, $A \in \{ B,F\}$. Our results apply to a wide class of convolution semigroups including the Gau{ \ss}--Weierstra{ \ss} semigroup, stable semigroups and heat kernels for higher-order powers of the Laplacian $(-\Delta)^m$, and we can derive various caloric smoothing estimates.
