Assign Conversation to Team Member

InboxLast updated April 20, 2025

Assignment makes sure every conversation has a clear owner — no double-replies, no dropped customers.

When to use this guide

Whenever a chat needs a specific person to handle it.

Before you start

  • At least two team members in the workspace.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Open the conversation

    Click the chat in the Inbox list.

  2. 2

    Click the assignee selector

    Top-right of the chat header. A dropdown shows online and offline teammates.

  3. 3

    Pick an agent (or yourself)

    The selected agent gets a real-time notification and the chat moves into their 'Mine' queue.

  4. 4

    Reassign anytime

    Repeat the same steps to hand off. The assignment history is logged in the conversation timeline.

  5. 5

    Set up auto-assign for hands-off routing

    Use the Auto Assign Leads automation to route new conversations by tag, working hours, or round-robin.

What happens next

The assigned agent owns the conversation. Reports → Team Reports tracks how each agent is doing.

Common issues

Assignee dropdown is empty.

Make sure you have other Active team members under Settings → Team.
