CSAT rating
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) ratings measure how satisfied the customer has been with your support. If enabled, CSAT ratings will be shown to the user after you or your Teammates resolve the conversation.
Fallback emails
Kommunicate sends fallback emails to your users and your Team Members if they miss any new messages.
Conversation
RULES
Rules section will help you set up the rule to assign the conversation among your Teams, Teammates, and Chatbots. You can set the default Team to handle all the incoming conversations.
You can set up the rules for each Team you created and conversations will get assigned to the Team member according to the specified rule.
If you want to assign the conversation to a specific Team as per some conditions (for example, conversations that are coming from the website will get assigned to Team 1, and conversations from the mobile app will get assigned to Team 2). You can assign the conversation to a specific Team by passing the teamId, conversation assignment will be based on your assigned Team rules.
Routing rules for bots
Enable this setting and select the chatbot from the drop-down to allow your bot to handle the incoming conversations
A few points to note when the conversations are assigned to a bot:
If the bot is not able to answer:
The conversation will be assigned to the default human agent if ‘Notify everybody’ is selected in the agent routing rules.
The conversation will be assigned to the human agent present in the conversation for the ‘Automatic assignment’.
Routing rules for Human agents
Here you can select the suitable setting so conversations will be assigned to human agents based on this rule.
Allow reassignment of conversation
Conversations, with pending replies, will be reassigned to available agents if the current assignee goes away for more than the specified time.
Reply rules for unassigned bots
Allow other bots to reply even after the conversation is assigned to a specific bot or agent
Auto-resolve
Auto resolve helps you to clear the conversations from your bin and also you can collect more CSAT ratings when more conversations are resolved from the agent end.
You can select an auto-resolve rule for your conversation.
Select an auto-resolve rule for your conversation
Do not auto-resolve any conversation
Auto-resolve only those conversations which are assigned to the bot
Auto-resolve only those conversations which are assigned to human
Auto-resolve all conversations
Chat Transcript
You can get all the chat transcripts delivered to the company email. Also, you can send the transcript to your end-users when the conversation is resolved, the transcript will be sent to the user’s email.
Note that the transcripts will be sent after resolving a conversation automatically, or you can send them without resolving as well, manually from the User's details section.
Quick Replies
Quick replies are Saved messages/Canned messages. These saved messages can be re-used when the repetitive query is asked by the user. This will save the support agents time and reduce the response time.
Using Quick Replies:
Whenever you answer customer queries, you can trigger the list of Quick Replies by typing /(backslash) in the typing area. You can use the Shortcut name to pinpoint a particular QuickReply. Just press enter and the full message will be filled in the typing area, which you can edit, customize, and send.
Pseudonyms
Pseudonyms can be enabled for anonymous users, Pseudonyms for anonymous users are based on aquatic animal names. For example, Poised Salmon. If the Pseudonyms are not enabled then there will be a system-generated id displayed as a name of the user instead of the Pseudonyms.
Chat Widget

Greeting Message
Greeting Messages can improve your website's engagement by popping up a small notification while users are browsing your site. You can add a delay time and also a notification sound.
Welcome Message
You can configure Welcome messages to welcome your users. Check the Collect email ID from the anonymous user's box to ask for email IDs in the chat itself.
Away Message/Office hours
Away messages come in handy when your whole Team is offline or in Away mode. In that case, you can configure Away messages. You can configure Away messages for known and anonymous users separately.
Note: If you are using a chatbot to reply to customer queries, you can skip the Welcome and Away messages by disabling the Show Welcome/Away message to users button.
