Agent assignment

A conversation can be manually assigned to 2 categories of users.

1. Agents who have access to the inbox in which the conversation is created.
2. Administrators who can access every conversation in the system.

To assign an agent or admin to a conversation, an admin/agent can select the assignee from the dropdown named under "Assigned Agent" from the "Conversation Details" section in the right sidebar, as shown below.

Auto assignment

YCloud Inbox provides a round-robin auto-assignment system for conversations. The assignment follows the logic mentioned below.

Note: Round robin assignment is enabled by default.

• If there are agents online who have access to the inbox in which a conversation is created, the system would distribute the conversations equally among the online agents.

• If all the agents are offline, the system would keep the conversations as unassigned.
