Quickstart: Invite team

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Invite your team so that multiple agents can handle conversations simultaneously.

Invite team members

  1. Go to Settings → Team
  2. Click on "Invite member"
  3. Enter the email address
  4. Select a role:
RoleDescription
AdminFull access to all settings, team, billing
ManagerManage conversations, view team, analytics, canned responses
AgentHandle conversations, view visitors/contacts
Billing AdminAccess to billing & invoices only
DeveloperWidgets, domains, API keys, webhooks
AnalystRead-only access to conversations, visitors, analytics
  1. Click "Send invitation"
  2. The member receives an email with an invitation link

Seat types

Each member has a seat type:

  • Full Seat: Full access according to role (send messages, assign conversations, etc.)
  • Lite Seat: Read-only access — can view conversations and data but cannot respond or make changes. Ideal for managers, stakeholders, or QA.

Change seat type: Team → Member → "Change seat type"

Availability status

Each agent can set their status:

  • Online: Available for new conversations, considered for auto-assignment
  • Busy: Available but not automatically assigned
  • Offline: Not available

The status is displayed in the widget — visitors see if an agent is online.

Routing strategy

Under Settings → Tenant, you can configure the assignment strategy:

  • Manual: Conversations remain in "Open" until an agent manually takes them
  • Round Robin: Automatic distribution to available agents in rotation
  • Least Busy: Assignment to the agent with the fewest open conversations

Departments

For larger teams, you can create departments:

  1. Settings → Departments → "Create department"
  2. Assign a name (e.g., "Support", "Sales", "Technical")
  3. Assign members
  4. Conversations can be assigned to departments instead of individual agents
