How Chat Assignments Work

You might want to assign a chat to another team member if you need help, or if you’re done chatting for the moment. To assign a chat, click the Assignee icon, then select a new assignee. You can assign the chat to Users who are Available, or Users who have their status set to Assign Only. 

• Only one User can be assigned to a chat at a time.
• Users viewing assigned chats are able to add private notes in real time, but they cannot reply to the customer. 
• Once a chat is assigned, it cannot be sent back to Unassigned. You can only assign the chat to another User, or close it out if you're done chatting. 
• The number in parenthesis next to the User's name indicates how many chats they're assigned to.
