Set teammate availability and workload

Control when a teammate receives automatic assignments and how much active work they can hold.

About 3 minutesUpdated

What you'll achieve

New conversations go only to available teammates who are below their assignment limit.

Choose your availability

  1. Open the availability menu in the top bar.

  2. Choose Available when you can receive new work, Away for a temporary pause or Offline when your shift ends.

  3. Choose an away reason so teammates can understand your coverage state.

  4. Choose whether new customer replies should return to the Inbox while you are away.

Away and Offline stop new automatic assignments. Existing conversations stay assigned unless a customer replies and return-to-Inbox is enabled.

Control assignment load

  • Normal participates in automatic assignment at full priority.
  • Limited stays eligible but is considered after teammates with normal load.
  • Full pauses new automatic assignments without changing your availability label.
  • The numeric assignment limit is a hard cap on active conversations.

Set teammate limits

  1. Open Admin > Inbox > Inboxes and teams.

  2. Choose a team and find the teammate under Team membership.

  3. Set the maximum active assignments and save the team.

Owner and Admin can change assignment limits. Each teammate controls their own availability and temporary load state.
