To link an assistant to a phone number, you need to define rules that determine which assistant will be used for specific conversations. These rules allow you to automate the assignment of assistants based on contact information, message type, tags, and other properties.

Managing Assistant Rules

1

Access the Assistant Rules Form

Navigate to the phone number settings and open the Assistant Rules section.Screenshot of the phone number settings.
2

Add a Rule

Click the “Add rule” button to create a new rule. You can choose to add the rule at the beginning or end of the list.Screenshot of the add phone rule button.
3

Configure Rule Conditions

Use the condition editor to specify criteria such as contact name, email, occupation, tags, message type, and more. You can combine multiple conditions using logical operators.
4

Select an Assistant

For each rule, select the assistant to be used when the conditions are met. Assistants are listed by name; if an assistant does not have a name, it will appear as “Unnamed Assistant.”
5

Save Changes

After configuring your rules and selecting assistants, save your changes. The system will automatically apply the rules to incoming conversations.Screenshot of the confirm phone number rule button.
The example above shows how to link an assistant to a phone number. When user have “example” tag, the “Example Assistant” will be assigned to the conversation. If no rules match, the default assistant for the phone number will be used.

Rule Priority

Rules are evaluated in order. The first rule that matches the conversation will determine which assistant is assigned. You can reorder rules by adding them to the top or bottom of the list.

Managing Rules

  • Edit Conditions: Modify the conditions for each rule to fine-tune when an assistant should be used.
  • Delete Rules: Remove rules that are no longer needed.
  • Tags and Message Types: Use tags and message types to create more specific rules for your workflow.

This process helps ensure that conversations are routed to the most appropriate assistant, improving efficiency and user experience.
