The account owner and administrators can assign chats.

Assign chats automatically

  1. In the chat, open Settings → Assignment and select your channel group.

  2. Choose a rule for During working hours and for Outside working hours. The rules are described below.

  3. Click Save.

Automatic chat assignment for working and non-working hours
  • Disabled: chats are not assigned automatically.

  • First to respond: the chat goes to the person who replies first.

  • Random distribution: new chats are assigned to team members at random.

  • By load: the chat goes to the person with the fewest chats.

  • Specific user: all chats go to one person, for example the evening administrator.

Only the account owner can change automatic assignment.

Good to know

  • If a client already has an assigned person, new chats from this client go to the same person.

  • Channel group color on the same page colors the avatar ring of chats from this group. It helps when you have several branches.
