Assignments

Everyone knows who's responsible for a conversation's next step.

When consumer conversations are managed by a team, how does everyone know who's responsible for the next reply?

If no one takes responsibility, consumers face unnecessary delays in customer service.

And if more than 1 person takes responsibility, consumers face the confusion of multiple — possibly conflicting — replies.

With Assignments, each conversation is assigned to 1 specific person — and everyone knows who.

Conversations can be assigned to general representatives, specialists or decision-makers. Workflow rules make it easy to automatically assign conversations based on keywords, sender, time of day and more.

Assignments prevent more than 1 person from replying to the same conversation. And assignment-blocking prevents anyone from changing an assignee if they're already replying to a conversation.

  • Stay on top of tasks by setting up rules to automatically assign conversations based on keywords, senders or time of day.
