    Inbox

    Agents can set the status to Available or Away to open or close the inbox for chat requests. When a requester initiates a chat conversation from any Service Portal page, the chat interaction appears in the inbox of all agents who are configured as group members for Agent Chat Queue. For information about inbox configuration, see Configure the inbox in Service Operations Workspace.

    The following scenarios are possible for assignment of chat conversation to an agent.
    • When the automatic assignment of chat conversations is enabled, the chat conversation is automatically assigned to the agent, an interaction record is created in Service Operations Workspace, and the agent can continue the chat conversation. Based on options selected in the Chat - Most Capacity assignment rule, the interactions can open as non-active tabs in the inbox. For information on enabling automatic assignment of chat conversations using this assignment rule, see Enable automatic assignment of interactions to an agent.
    • When the automatic assignment of chat conversations is not enabled, the agent can then approve or reject the chat conversation. When the agent accepts the chat conversation, an interaction record is created in Service Operations Workspace and the agent can continue the chat conversation.

    When the requester in Service Portal or the agent in Service Operations Workspace ends the chat conversation, the interaction is closed.
