Know when a visitor is waiting

When a conversation needs a person, the right people hear about it: by email, with a badge on the Inbox and, if they want, a desktop notification.

What shipped

  • An email when a visitor asks for a person, when a conversation is assigned to you, and when the visitor writes again while waiting — at most one every 10 minutes per conversation.
  • Owners, admins and support agents hear about every hand-over by default; people who build agents only about their own. Everyone sets their own under Inbox → Alerts.
  • A badge on the Inbox counts the conversations waiting for a person and yours where the visitor wrote last.
  • Optional desktop notifications, turned on per browser.
  • Four new webhooks for your own tools: conversation.handoff_requested, conversation.assigned, conversation.team_replied and conversation.resolved.
