Define your agent pool

Create a more limited agent pool for your Route with filters like:

Teams

Assign agents to teams to handle particular conversations. Some examples of teams include technical support, Spanish-speaking, billing, marketing, or sales.

Available agent

Only route conversations to team members if they’re online. This helps when teammates are out of the office or on break.

Conversation limit

This filter makes the Route select only from a pool of agents under a set conversation limit. This helps manage workload.

Create a fallback

There may come a time when a defined route can’t select an agent. Tell Textline what to do in these scenarios so messages get answered. For example, if all agents in the billing team are offline, route the message to a manager in customer service.
