Overview

You can set up agent auto assignment in Zaapi to manage the workload of your entire agent team equally. When a new customer chat is received, the automation will assign the chat to the team member based on the round robin logic.

You can use this automation to direct customer messages from specific channels to the team members responsible, or you can simply set one automation for your entire team so that they only need to focus on their own inbox.

The auto assignment logic will take into account admin working hours, so a new chat will never be assigned to an admin while they are not currently working.

What is round robin logic?

Round robin logic is a way of equally distributing chats across your team. It is a sequential assignment logic; for example: A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C and so on.
