- Keep a manual queue for unmatched or exceptional work.
- Review stale rules instead of endlessly stacking new ones.
Handoffs and reviews: what the team should see

FAQ
Common support workspace questions
Where should queue planning start?
Start with team ownership, service languages, time zones, primary issue types, and escalation paths, then turn them into clear routing conditions.
How do different channels return to one workspace?
Conversations enter a unified queue with source, customer context, state, and ownership intact so the team works from one service record.
How does intelligent routing stay controllable?
Use configurable conditions with visible match reasons, queue destinations, human takeover, and escalation history.

Put channels, queues, ownership, and escalation paths in one view to shape an actionable service flow.
