4️⃣ Use the Auto Assign Conversation Feature

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.

Pro Tips for Effective Management

🔹 Monitor Activity: Regularly review assigned conversations to ensure balanced workloads and timely responses.
🔹 Use Team Tags: Organise and filter conversations by tags to quickly find and manage relevant topics.
🔹 Review Workflows: Periodically adjust the auto-assign configurations to adapt to team changes or new priorities.
