Conversations Auto-Assignment Feature Guide

Conversations Auto-Assignment Feature Guide

The Auto-Assignment feature helps your team save time by automatically routing incoming WhatsApp messages to online agents in real time – reducing manual work and speeding up response times. 


Notes

Online agents are the users who have the WhatsApp Conversations page open and active in their browser. If they close the page or become inactive, they’re considered offline and won’t receive new conversations.

Step 1: Message Received 📩

A customer sends a message via WhatsApp.


Step 2: Agent Availability Check 🔍

Step 3: Random Assignment 👤

The conversation is randomly assigned to one of the available agents.

🧭 Routing Logic 

  • Conversations are assigned randomly, not based on workload, skillset, or priority. 

  • Offline agents are excluded from the assignment process. Once they return online, they will be included again automatically.
