Auto-Assign requests

Don't want tickets to fall through the cracks? Use auto-assign to make sure new requests are directed to members of a team to get them resolved. 

What happens when Auto-Assign is turned on?

1. A new request is created, and atSpoke auto-assigns it to your team
2. atSpoke can assign the request to your team based on the assignment style you select. It can rotate the assignment (round-robin), only assign to a specific user, or assign to an expert based on the user's previous experience
3. The person assigned to the ticket will get an email notifying them of the new request so they are aware and can take action
