Agent groups

Groups let you organize your agents by team, department, or function — for example a Billing team, a Technical team, or a German-language team. Once your agents are grouped, tickets can be routed and assigned to the right group instead of landing in a single shared pile.

Why use groups

Grouping agents gives you a unit to route work to. Rather than assigning every ticket by hand, you assign it to a group and let the group’s distribution mode decide which member picks it up. Groups also make ownership clear: your team can see at a glance which tickets belong to them.

What you can configure

  • Name and description — identify the group and what it handles.
  • Members — the agents who belong to the group.
  • Distribution mode — how tickets assigned to the group are shared out among members: Manual (agents pick work up themselves), Round Robin (evenly, in turn), Least Busy (to whoever has the fewest open tickets), or Skills-Based (matched to agent skills).
  • Lead — an optional group lead.
  • Per-agent capacity — a cap on how many open tickets each member holds, so no one is overloaded.

Working with groups

  1. Go to Settings → Team → Groups.
  2. Create a group and give it a clear name.
  3. Add the agents who should handle its tickets.
  4. Choose how tickets are distributed to members.

You can update membership and settings at any time as your team changes.
