This article gives an overview of the Return to Inbox feature & how it works.
Return to Inbox:
Return to Inbox is a feature that is triggered when a message has remained unread for a period of time set by a manager or admin user. When the allotted amount of time has passed, the thread is returned to the group inbox so that another user may claim this message and assist the customer.
A message is considered “read” when a user has:
- Claimed the message from the inbox
- Clicked on the message from “My Threads”
- Begun typing a reply
Below is an example of a thread with an unread message, and that same thread once the message has been read:
