v2026.6.9
Release date: June 25, 2026
✨ New Features
Automatic round-robin distribution (teams)
New per-team configuration to distribute pending conversations among available members, respecting order, schedules, break, and on-call status.
What is it for?
- Fairly distribute new chats and team transfers across the team
- Reserve an agent without auto-starting the conversation (pending mode)
- Start the conversation immediately for the chosen agent (in_progress mode)
- Apply fallback strategies when no one is available during working hours
How to configure?
- Go to Settings → Teams
- Edit the team and expand Automatic distribution (Round-robin)
- Enable distribution and choose:
- Auto-attend — starts the conversation (
in_progress) for the next agent in queue - Reserve agent — keeps
pendingbut already indicates who should attend
- Auto-attend — starts the conversation (
- Set triggers (new chat, team transfer, agent leave, flow node)
- Configure fallback (retry, ignore schedule, on-call, last assigned, least busy, leader, overflow, queue)
- Adjust round-robin order and per-member actions (⋮): break, on-call, schedules, include/exclude, set as next
Full guide: Teams — Round-robin
Locked reservation in pending mode
When the team uses Reserve agent, you can define how many minutes the chat stays exclusive to the chosen agent.
Behavior
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Reserved agent | Only they can click Attend |
| Other members | See a warning and are blocked until the period expires |
| Working hours | Minutes set in Working hours reservation |
| Off hours | Minutes in Off hours reservation (outside schedule, break, or fallback) |
| Empty fields | Reservation without lock — only indicates the agent |
How to use?
- In Teams → edit team → Reserve agent mode
- Fill Working hours reservation (min) and/or Off hours reservation (min)
- The reserved agent receives a notification; list and chat show reservation markers
Round-robin status on the team card
Each team card shows who was last and who is next in queue, the full order, and current availability.
Admins can use ⋮ → Set as next to manually adjust who receives the next assignment.
Reservation badge in the chat list
Pending conversations with an active reservation show a badge in the list:
- Reserved for you (indigo) — when you are the reserved agent
- Reserved · {name} (amber) — for other team members
Tooltip shows expiry time and whether the period is working or off hours.
Round-robin system messages
New message types in chat history:
| Type | When it appears |
|---|---|
