Automations¶

Automation can replace and automate existing processes that require manual effort. You can do many things with automation, including adding labels and assigning conversations to the best agent. So the team focuses on what they do best and spends less time on manual tasks.

Click on the Automation inside the setting section.

Automation Events¶

Automation Events are triggers on when you want your automation executed. Live agent currently supports three kinds of events.

Conversation created - this will trigger when a new conversation is created in your system. This will include conversations created by all channels.
Conversation updated - this will trigger when a conversation is updated.
Message created - this will be triggered when any new message inside a conversation is created.

Automation Conditions¶

Conditions are criteria that will be checked before the action is executed. The conditions are evaluated in the order they are defined.

Conversation Created	Conversation Updated	Message Updated
Conversation Status	Conversation Status	Message Type
	Assignee	Message Contains
	Team

Automation Actions¶

Actions are tasks/processes that are executed whenever respective conditions are met.

Live agent currently supports the following actions:

Assign a Conversation to a team.
Assign a label to a conversation.
Send an email to a team.

Creating Automations¶

Click on the + Add Automation Rule button to open the Automation creation modal.

Give your automation a name.

Add two conditions and join them with the AND operator, Condition 1 - Conversation Status as Open and Condition 2 - Inbox as Agent Assist bot-default from the dropdown.
