Email Notifications
Both agents and users can receive an email notification when a new message is received.
Email Notifications for Admin and Agents
- When a user sends their first message, if the conversation is assigned to a department, an email is sent only to the agents in that department. If the conversation is assigned to a specific agent, an email is sent only to that agent. Otherwise, an email is sent to all agents who are not online at the moment.
- Subsequent emails are sent only to the last agent in the conversation.
- Email notifications are sent only if the last agent in the conversation is offline.
- If using the Nulu AI app and Settings > Artificial Intelligence > Human takeover is active, no emails are sent if the chatbot knows the answer.
- To prevent admins from receiving email notifications, check Settings > Notifications > Do not send email notifications to admins.
Email Notifications for Users
- When an agent sends a message to a user, an email is sent to the user only if the user is offline.
- Only one email is sent. Subsequent messages will not trigger a new email alert.
