Route to HumanProposed Solution(s):
- Workflow is triggered when a conversation is opened by a Contact (Trigger = Conversation Opened and Source is equal to Contact).
- Then the Workflow Steps are conducted > Add an Assignment Step to assign to user.
- Then add a Wait Step after the Assignment Step to wait for a specific duration e.g. 15 minutes.
- Then add a Branch Step to check assignee response for: -- Time Since Last Outgoing Message is greater than (time) 15 minutes -- AND -- Time Since Last Incoming Message exists -- AND -- In the Contact Field category, the Conversation Status field is equal to Open.
- If the branch conditions are met > Add another Assignment Step to reassign to another user.
Note:
This solution is ONLY applicable to the first assignment in the opened conversation and not consecutive or middle of the conversation assignments.A visual representation of the Workflow Template is provided in the attached images.
