-
Click Save.
With the configuration enabled, the agent's name will be included in the message body, visible to the contact, on all commercial support channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Webchat).
⚠️ Attention: This configuration is only available for parent group administrators and hidden for subgroup administrators.

- Select the new group and save the settings.

Group settings
To configure a group:
- In Customer service teams, click on the three-dot menu > Group Settings.
- Enter the value for the information:
- Consider a contact as "Urgent" after X minutes.
- At the end of the defined time, the New waiting contacts graph changes in the calculation of the Overview thermometer, turning the line yellow.
- Consider a contact as "Delayed" after X minutes.
- At the end of the defined time, the New waiting contacts graph changes in the calculation of the Overview thermometer, turning the line red.
- Set a value as a reference of the maximum limit for queued contacts in your operation.
- If the number of waiting contacts is greater than the defined value, Admin users will see a dotted line on the Overview thermometer in the New waiting contacts graph.
- Consider a contact as "Urgent" after X minutes.
- Check the box if you want to:
- Share the inbox with all the groups members.
- Display all the queued contacts for sales chats, meaning show all services in the queue to agents, allowing them to see and prioritize services generally.
- After making the settings, click Save.
Contact assignment
Choose how you want to handle services in the queue:
- Contacts are not assigned automatically. Users need to be assigned manually.
- Contacts are automatically assigned to users in sequential order.
You can also define the period for assignment after the message arrives.
💡 Tip: Learn how contact assignment works in sales settings.
Enable qualification via chatbot
Enabling automated triage allows you to offer your customers automated service through an initial triage before being transferred to human service. This triage separates services by group or, if there is no group, simply closes the conversation.
Clicking this option will redirect you to the Chatbot flow screen for configuration. To learn how to configure it, refer to this article Qualification via chatbot.
⚠️ Attention: If you already have triage enabled in the group, this feature will appear as Edit qualification via chatbot. If you have a different chatbot, it will appear as Edit Chatbot.
Contact closing
Choose when to automatically close inactive contact services. Opt to keep it as Never or for a specific period.
Set and away message
Away messages are automatically sent when a user receives a message in the chat with the contact and it happens through the channel configured in the group/user.
For example, if a contact is chatting with a user whose working hours are from 9 AM to 6 PM and sends a message at 6:01 PM, the away message will be sent automatically, but the assignment will remain with the user.
⚠️ Attention:
- If a group has more than one channel, the configuration will apply to all channels in the group. If all channels are removed from the group, the out-of-office message will be lost.
- If the channel is assigned directly to a user and not to a group, the out-of-office message must be configured in the group to which the user belongs.
- In the Customer service teams tab, choose the group(s) and click on the three dots > Set an away message;
- Decide between:
- Do not send message: The group will not send any automatic messages in case of absence;
- Outside of business hours: Send a message when there are no agents during the group's business hours;
- Always send: A message will be automatically sent whenever a service is initiated in the group;
- Custom time: The message will be automatically sent for services initiated within the selected period. Add the start and end date and time.
- Do not send message: The group will not send any automatic messages in case of absence;
- Type your absence message using up to 1024 characters;
- Click Save.
Done! The settings made will be applied to the Inbox of your teams.
