Additional Inbox settings​

On your Inboxes screen, click on the gear icon to reach the Settings page. You will see the following screen:

Settings tab​

Scroll down to see more settings, where you can set up the various notifications you would like to receive when your website inbox starts functioning.

Here are a couple of examples for your understanding:

Enable email collect box is enabled by default. This means an automatic message to collect the e-mail id will be displayed once the customer starts a conversation. The customer/end user will receive a prompt to enter an e-mail id.

Enable CSAT. Once you enable this, your Customer Satisfaction survey will be launched every time a ticket is resolved. The CSAT results can be viewed later in the Reports section.

Click on the Update button to save the changes you have made.

Collaborators tab​

Click on the Collaborators tab.

Here, you can add Agents/ Teams to the Inbox or delete Agents/ Teams who have been already added to the Inbox:

• When you add an agent in the Agent field, any user designated as an agent can see and access this inbox from the Conversation module. They can manage conversations in this inbox.

• However, when you add a team in the Team field, users attempting to assign conversations to a specific team from the Conversation module will only see the teams that have been added to the related inbox. This restricts conversation assignment options to the teams associated with the particular inbox, ensuring that conversations are appropriately distributed among the specified teams.

You can also enable or disable the automatic assignment of new conversations to the agents added to this inbox.

Click on Update it to save the changes.
