Routing rules dictate which chat queue or agent is assigned a ticket when a customer reaches out and a new ticket is created. These rules are configured within the Cloudfon CX Control Panel and ensure that tickets are immediately routed to the person best suited to handle the request.
With advanced routing rules, management does not have to allocate tickets to agents – instead, those assignments can be made automatically based on pre-determined rules.
For example, if you have different email boxes for your Support and Sales team, but you want to manage both using Cloudfon CX, you can configure routing rules for the messages sent to the Sales inbox to assign to the Sales team and vice versa automatically.
Note：If you want to use the Routing Rules function, you need to enable Auto Distribution at the same time.
