How to Set the Priority of a Conversation

Last updated on Apr 18, 2025

Setting conversation priorities helps your team manage support more efficiently, addressing urgent matters quickly while keeping a streamlined workflow. In Akece, you can assign different priority levels to easily identify conversations that need immediate attention.

The available priority levels are:

  • Low

  • Medium

  • High

  • Urgent

You can set the priority of a conversation at any time, based on its importance and urgency.

How to Set a Conversation's Priority

There are several ways to assign a priority:

1. From the Conversation Sidebar

  • Open the conversation in your dashboard

  • Click on the Conversation Info section

  • Locate the Priority field and select the desired level

The selected priority will be visible in the conversation list and recorded as an activity in the conversation’s timeline.

2. From the Context Menu

  • Right-click on the desired conversation

  • Select Assign Priority and choose the appropriate level

3. Using the Command Palette

  • Press Cmd + K (macOS) or Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux)

  • Type Assign Priority

  • Select the priority level and press Enter

Best Practices for Using Priorities

  • Use "Urgent" sparingly: Reserve this level for issues that truly require immediate attention.

  • Create automation rules to assign priorities based on specific conditions. For example: automatically set the priority to Urgent for any email with the word “security” in the subject line.
