How to Automatically Assign Conversations to Agents (Round-robin)

Last updated on Apr 16, 2025

In Akece, you can enable automatic conversation assignment using a round-robin system. This means that when multiple agents are available in a given inbox, new conversations are assigned evenly among them.

This feature helps ensure a fair workload distribution across your team and prevents individual agents from being overloaded.

⚠️ Note: If no agent is available, new conversations will remain unassigned in the inbox.

How to enable or disable automatic assignment

Step 1 – Access the inbox settings

Go to Settings → Inboxes.

Find the inbox where you want to enable automatic assignment.

Click the configure link next to the selected inbox.

Step 2 – Open the Collaborators tab

In the inbox settings, click on the Collaborators tab.

Locate the option called Conversation Assignment.

Step 3 – Enable or disable automatic assignment

Check the box Enable automatic assignment to activate round-robin distribution for available agents.

Click Update to save your settings.

How round-robin works

Once activated, Akece will automatically assign each new conversation to the next available agent in turn, ensuring a balanced rotation.

This optimizes your support flow and improves the experience for both agents and customers.
