The Auto Assign Conversation feature streamlines the assignment process by automatically distributing conversations among available team members. This ensures balanced workloads and faster response times.

Auto Assign Options:

• Equal Conversation Distribution (All Time)
  Ensures conversations are evenly assigned to all available admins at all times.
• Equal Conversation Distribution (Last Hour)
  Prioritises even distribution based on activity within the past hour—great for balancing short-term workloads.
• Equal Conversation Distribution (Last 8 Hours)
  Balances workload based on the last 8 hours of activity.
• Equal Conversation Distribution (Last 24 Hours)
  Considers admin activity over the past 24 hours to assign conversations fairly.

Success and Failure Nodes

The auto-assign feature incorporates two outcomes:

• ✅ Success Node
  Triggered when a conversation is successfully assigned. You can set up subsequent actions in the workflow to continue managing the conversation.
• ❌ Failure Node
  Activated when no admin is available to take the conversation. You can define alternative actions, like sending a fallback message or re-routing to another team.
