Configure your Default Agent Channel Mapping
What to know:
- This configuration will send all request types to a specific channel at initial setup. One default alert channel is required.
- You can create more granular agent channels by configuring the bot within a new alerts channel. This can be done in the Account portal or by adding the bot to a channel within Slack.
- Support channels and alerts channels are different and should be kept separate. Learn more about the different channel types and best practices here.
- If you have any questions we're happy to assist with the initial setup. You can book time with our team for setup support!
