Automation

Automation lets you create rules that perform actions automatically when certain conditions are met — no manual work required from your team.

How Automation Works

Every automation rule has three parts:

  1. Event — When does this trigger?
  2. Conditions — What must be true for the rule to apply?
  3. Actions — What happens automatically?

Example:

When a new conversation is created AND the inbox is "Krongage WhatsApp" → Assign to admin agent


Trigger Events

EventWhen it fires
Conversation CreatedA new conversation starts
Conversation UpdatedA conversation's details change

Available Conditions

Filter which conversations the rule applies to:

  • Inbox (which channel)
  • Label (what tag is applied)
  • Status (open, pending, resolved)
  • Assignee (who it's assigned to)
  • Team (which team)
  • Message content (keywords)

Combine conditions using AND / OR logic.
