Notifications
Real-time alerts for your team via SMS, email, and in-app. Configure rules to automatically notify staff when conversations need attention, AI escalates, or workflows reach milestones.
What Notifications Do
Notifications keep your team informed:
- Multi-channel delivery (SMS, email, in-app)
- Escalation alerts when AI needs human help
- Customizable rules for targeted routing
- Personal preferences per team member
- Read/unread tracking
Key Features
Notification Rules
Configure automatic routing:
- Notice Type: What triggers it (escalation, milestone)
- Target Member: Who gets notified
- Workflow Scope: Specific workflow or all
- Channels: SMS, email, or both
Personal Preferences
Each member controls their channels:
- Enable/disable SMS notifications
- Enable/disable email notifications
- Notifications only sent when BOTH rule and preference allow
Escalation Handling
When AI needs human help:
- AI triggers escalation with reason
- Matching rules identify who to notify
- Staff receives alert with chat link
- Click to open conversation with full context
How It Works
Event Occurs → Rules Evaluated → Channels Checked → Delivered
(escalation) (who to notify) (preferences) (SMS/email/app)
When AI escalates or important events occur, notifications route to the right people via their preferred channels.
Business Hours
Notifications respect workspace hours:
- Different messages during/after hours
- "We'll respond at 9am" for off-hours escalations
- Timezone-aware scheduling
