Settings
Set Channel Greeting Message
Defaults to off. Enter a custom greeting message that is automatically sent to the customer when they start a conversation.
Enable CSAT
When this function is run, a customer satisfaction survey will be automatically launched for every problem resolved. CSAT scores can be viewed in the subsequent report section.
Conversation Assignment
Displays the conversation assignment rules corresponding to the current channel. Supports Routing Rules, AI Agent, and Human Agent responses. Conversation assignment priority order: Routing Rules > AI Agent > Human Agent.
When routing rules exist, it first determines whether the routing rule requirements are met. When multiple routing rules exist simultaneously, they are traversed in order, and if a rule is met, assignment is done according to the rule.
If the current scenario does not satisfy routing rules, it is prioritized for assignment to the AI Agent.
When no AI Agent exists, it will be assigned to the corresponding Human Agent. Supports automatic assignment, providing assignment mechanisms based on concurrent load and sequential average distribution.

Human Agent

AI Agent
