All inbox settings

How to configure each one

Send Behavior

A single toggle — Send message using Enter key. Turn it on so pressing Enter sends your message, or off to send by clicking the send button instead. This is a per-person preference.

Ticket Routing

Toggle Ticket Routing on to automatically create and assign tickets when a conversation needs a human. Once it’s on, you can choose the routing scope, the routing algorithm, a per-agent ticket cap, a queue timeout, and what happens when a solved conversation reopens.

How Ticket Routing works

Scopes, algorithms, caps, queue timeout, and reopen behavior — explained in full.

Ticket lifecycle: closure, auto-resolve, resolution reason & automation resume

These four settings control how tickets move from open → resolved → closed:
  • Ticket Closure Time — toggle on to override the default (tickets close 72 hours after being resolved).
  • Auto-resolve idle tickets — off by default; toggle on to auto-resolve after a period of inactivity (defaults to 720 hours / 30 days).
  • Resolution reason — use the dropdown to make a reason optional or required.
  • Automation resume timing — use the dropdown to resume automations on resolve or on close.

Customer Satisfaction Survey

Toggle it on to automatically send a satisfaction survey when a ticket is closed after a real conversation between an agent and a customer.

What the survey measures and when it’s sent.

Ticket Topics & Conversation Tags

Open each section to create and manage your Ticket Topics (categories for tickets) and Conversation Tags (labels for conversations).
