Prepare the support team before publishing a customer channel. This lets you verify assignment and replies before real traffic arrives.

Steps

Invite people

Go to Settings → Agents, invite agents and supervisors, and confirm that invitations are accepted.

Create teams

Go to Settings → Teams and configure membership, capacity, and assignment behavior.

Prepare AI

If AI handles first contact, create and test an agent under AI → AI Agents.

Create a channel

Open Channels, choose Web, Email, or API, and configure the receiving team and AI policy.

Run an end-to-end test

Send a message from the real customer entry point. Confirm that it reaches the correct queue and receives a human or AI reply.

A test customer can start a conversation, assignment follows your policy, and messages work in both directions.
