Organize agents by responsibility and configure assignment and capacity boundaries.

Teams are the primary boundary for channel routing and conversation assignment. A role and team membership serve different purposes.

Steps

Create the team

Go to Settings → Teams, use a clear business name, and add responsible agents.

Set capacity

Configure support capacity so new conversations are not assigned to an agent already at the limit.

Configure auto assignment

When new work can route automatically, decide whether to use cross-team fallback or remain in the target team when no one is available.

Connect channels

Select the team in channel routing and verify it with a test message.
