Overview

Internal Tasks allow you to manage your team's workload effectively by assigning tasks related to customer tickets. These tasks can be assigned to individual agents or teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and resolution tracking. You can also have 2 way communication between agents here.

    • A Specific Agent: Directly allocate responsibility to an individual.

    • A Team: Share responsibility with a group to ensure quicker resolution.

3. Label Inheritance
