Overview
In Kayako, automation plays an essential role in keeping the lines of communication open between your customers and your support staff. You can use triggers to notify your team of different events so that they can respond to them in a timely manner. This article provides information on creating triggers to notify your team of new chats from customers.
Information
You can use Kayako automation to send notifications to certain agents or teams to remind them about conversations that need their attention. For example, you can use a trigger to send a notification email to a senior member of your department when a new conversation is opened by your highest-profile customer. Or, you can set up a monitor to send a reminder email for the conversations that have been waiting for a specified period of time.
