Conversation nodes (Actions)

Written by Raluca StoicaLast updated 14 days ago

Conversation action nodes allow you to change the state, ownership, and organization of a conversation inside a workflow.
Unlike message or data nodes, these actions do not send messages to the customer, they operate directly on the conversation itself.

In the left sidebar, these actions live under Conv. and include:

  • Snooze Conversation

  • Close Conversation

  • Reopen Conversation

  • Assign to

  • Round Robin Assignment

  • Add Conversation Topic

  • Remove Conversation Topic

  • Add Internal Conversation Note

  • Assign Conversation Tag

These nodes are typically used to route conversations, pause them, mark them resolved, and keep the inbox clean and structured.

Close Conversation

Closes the conversation and marks it as resolved.

When this action runs, the conversation is removed from the active inbox and considered complete.

CSAT behavior

By default, closing a conversation will trigger a Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) survey.

You can disable this for the specific node using:

  • Skip CSAT for this conversation

This setting only applies to this node and does not affect global CSAT settings.

Snooze Conversation

Temporarily pauses a conversation until a specific time.

While snoozed, the conversation is hidden from the active inbox and will automatically reopen when the snooze period ends.

Snooze duration

  • 1 Day

  • 1 Week

  • 1 Month

  • 1 Year

This node exposes two outcomes you can connect to:

  • Reopened

  • Snooze ended

Reopen Conversation

Reopens a previously closed conversation and returns it to the active inbox.

This action has no additional configuration.

Assing to

Assigns the conversation to a specific team or teammate.

Configuration

  • Assignee: Select a team or an individual teammate

    CleanShot%202026-02-09%20at%2020.49.16%402x.png

Use this action when: conversations need to be routed to a specific team (e.g. Sales, Support, Bugs).

Round Robin Assignment

Automatically assigns conversations across teammates using rotation and capacity rules.

Configuration options

Assignment strategy

  • Even distribution based on team workload

  • Teammate availability based on their status (online or away, manually set)

    CleanShot%202026-02-09%20at%2020.51.20%402x.png

Teammates included in rotation

  • Only selected teammates

  • All teammates except selected

You can select teams and/or individual teammates.

Maximum capacity per teammate

  • Defines how many conversations a teammate can handle simultaneously

How capacity is calculated

  • All open conversations: includes every open conversation assigned to a teammate, regardless of tags, priority, or whether a human reply has already been sent.

  • Unanswered conversations: includes only conversations assigned to a teammate that have not yet received a human response. These may have no reply at all or only an AI-generated reply as the first response.

Example:

Assume a teammate has a maximum capacity of 10 conversations.

Currently, the teammate is assigned 10 open conversations:

  • 6 conversations already have a human reply → these do not require immediate action

  • 3 conversations have only an AI reply → these still require a human response

  • 1 conversation has no reply at all → this still requires a human response

This means:

  • Unanswered conversations: 4 (3 AI-only + 1 with no reply)

  • Conversations that still need to be managed: 4

Because the teammate can handle up to 10 unanswered conversations, and 4 are already pending, the teammate can receive:

10 − 4 = 6 additional conversations
that have no human reply or only an AI reply.

➡️ The teammate’s current available capacity is 6.

Fallback Team

  • Used when no teammate matches the capacity rules

  • The conversation will be assigned to this team until an agent is available to get a conversation.

  • Create a dedicated chatflow with Round Robin node to re-assign conversation from fallback team to teammates

Add Conversation Topic

Adds one or more topics to the conversation.

Topics are used for classification, reporting, and workflow logic.

Configuration

  • Select one or more topics to add

Removes existing topics from the conversation.

Configuration

  • Select the topic(s) to removed.

Add Internal Conversation Note

Internal notes are visible to teammates but never shown to the customer.

Configuration

  • Note text (free-form)

  • Add article, emoji and images
