Teams: Create New & Manage

  • Teams allow you to finely tune which agents have access to certain channels, request types or tags.

Note: Teams can only be edited by agents with 'Admin' permissions.

The teams are composed by a combination of:

  • Agents: agents that belong to the team (each agent can belong to more than one team);
  • Channels: agents in the team will only have access to conversations and tickets from the channels listed here (requires at least one);
  • Tags: agents in the team will only see conversations and tickets with the tags listed here (if left blank, the agents in the team can see all conversations and tickets from the channels chosen above);
  • Request Types: agents in the team will only have access to the request types listed here (if left blank, the agents will not have access to any request type and will only be able to see conversations in the Inbox from the channels chosen above).

In addition, a team allows to manage the following permissions:

  • Can see tab "All": determine if the agents in the team can see the tab 'All' in the Inbox (if 'No' is selected, the users will only be able to see conversations that requested human agent assistance, opened and closed);
  • Can create new Tags: determine if the agents in the team can create new tags (if 'No' is selected, the agents in the team will only be able to use tags previously added by other agents or by the chatbot).

    • See only assigned conversation: If yes, the agents can only see conversations that are assigned to them
