Question

Can round-robin be assigned without requiring an initial response from the customer and based on customer attributes? We want to send outbound messages to new customers but have them round-robin to avoid sales people cherry picking.

When new users signup, our registration process identifies a customer's value. We are looking to round robin higher-value customers among a specialized Sales Team. None of the customers have reached out to us at this point.

 

Currently, the only way to do this is to use a Zap that identifies high-value customers and sends a message on behalf of the new user into Intercom in order to trigger the round robin.

 

Any ideas will be greeted with smiley emojis!

When you send Outbound Messages, they will only land in your Inbox when/if there's a user reply and the assignment would only happen after the reply. That being said, when you're creating your Outbound Message you have the option to choose a team or teammate to assign the replies 👇Markup on 2022-09-30 at 17:17:38So all you would need to do is select one of your Sales teams which have round-robin as their assignment method and any reply would be automatically assigned to an available teammate in this team via round-robin.

 

If you want to be more specific and use user attributes to route these conversations, you can create an Inbox rule as the following 👇Markup on 2022-09-30 at 17:26:16
