When a workflow assigns a conversation to a team, it uses round-robin distribution to balance the load across team members.

Business hours

Set your store’s operating hours and timezone. This data is available to your agents through context variables:
  • store_status.isOpen: Whether the store is currently open.
  • store_status.nextChangeInBusinessTz: When the store next opens or closes.
  • businessHours.timezone: Your configured timezone.
  • time.nowInBusinessTz: Current time in your timezone.
Agents can use this to adjust behavior. For example, informing customers that the team is offline and will respond during business hours. Configure:
  • Timezone: Your store’s timezone (e.g., America/New_York, Europe/London).
  • Hours: Operating hours for each day of the week. Set specific open and close times, or mark days as closed.

Channel settings

Configure individual channels. See the dedicated docs for each:

  • Labels: Create labels for categorization.
  • Macros: Create reusable message templates.
