Assign conversations in the shared inbox

Attention: Carriers are now blocking all unregistered outbound SMS per industry regulations to combat spam. Registration is mandatory for all providers, not just GoTo Connect. Register now to restore or maintain SMS service. GoTo Connect cannot expedite carrier reviews.

Manage your team's conversation assignments within the shared inbox.

Before you begin:
Managers have the ability to manage conversations assignments within the shared inbox. While team members have the ability to assign conversations to themselves, managers can unassign or reassign conversations to other team members or themselves.
Note: This feature may not be available with your plan. Please contact your sales rep for more information on the GoTo Customer Engagement plans, included features, and pricing.
Attention: Contact Center supervisors will manage their agent's chat assignments in the supervisor dashboard.
