Auto Assign Conversation Feature

The Auto Assign Conversation feature serves to optimize the management of conversations by automatically designating them to available admins or agents. This feature is intended to enhance workflow efficiency and ensure equitable distribution of conversation assignments among team members.

Auto Assign Conversation Options

Users may configure the Auto Assign Conversation feature according to several distinct options tailored to meet their organizational requirements

  • Equal Conversation Distribution (All Time)
    This option guarantees that conversations are allocated evenly among all available admins and agents at all times. This approach fosters fairness in workload distribution, mitigating the risk of overwhelming any single individual with excessive conversations.
  • Equal Conversation Distribution (Last Hour)
    This configuration concentrates on achieving balance in conversation distribution based on activity from the past hour. It ensures that recent workloads are taken into account, allowing those admins who have engaged with fewer conversations during that time to receive additional assignments
  • Equal Conversation Distribution (Last 8 Hours)
    Analogous to the last hour option, this setting facilitates the distribution of conversations based on activity over the previous eight hours.
  • Equal Conversation Distribution (Last 24 Hours)
    This option entails balancing workloads based on conversation activity over the prior 24 hours.

Success and Failure Nodes

The Auto Assign Conversation feature incorporates two operational pathways: the success node and the failure node.

  • Success Node
    This node is triggered when the system successfully assigns a conversation to an available admin. Upon activation, subsequent actions defined within the workflow may be initiated to further manage the conversation.
  • Failure Node
    This node is activated when the system is unable to assign a conversation due to the unavailability of an admin. In such instances, organizations may utilize this node to outline alternative actions.
