Teams are groups of individuals who can receive chats and texts. Teams are usually grouped by individuals in the same department or ‘category’. An example of a team would be “Sales” or “Service”, so that texts or chats can be directed to that specific group.
Navigate to Manage Groups by clicking on “Manage Groups” in the navigation panel
A new window will open to show all of the groups that a user has access to.
Search for, or click on the group you’d like to assign teams to, then navigate to the Teams tab.
Enter a new Team name for the group who will be responsible for accepting text or chat messages.
Click “Add Team” to add it to the list
Once entered, the team name will appear in the list below. These team names will be available at the campaign level for selection.
The ‘Active’ column shows whether or not a team is activated on a campaign. x means not currently assigned, check box means it is assigned to a campaign.
Users are people who will be assigned permissions so that they can log in and access Message Center, the portal where they can handle incoming messages for their team.
A new window will open to show all of the groups that a user has access to.
