πŸ“ Where to find it: Inbox β†’ (open a conversation) β†’ right-hand panel β†’ "Participants"

Participants are agents who follow a conversation without being responsible for it: they receive its notifications even if they aren't the assigned agent.

How it works

You add one or more colleagues as watchers of a conversation. They are then notified of new messages and notes. This is useful for involving an expert or a manager without handing over responsibility for the case.

Step by step

  1. Open a conversation from "Inbox".
  2. In the right-hand panel, find the "Participants" section.
  3. Click the settings icon, then check the agents to add as watchers.
  4. Click "Watch this conversation" to add yourself.

Good to know

  • Being a participant β‰  being assigned: the assigned agent remains responsible for the case.
  • Ideal for letting a manager keep an eye on a sensitive case.
