Engage Digital | Creating an agent

When an admin adds an agent to the platform, the agent will receive an invitation by email. When the agent accepts the invitation, the agent will create a password when accessing the platform the first time. If the agent does not accept the invitation, the agent status appears grey with the message Invitation Sent.

Once an agent has been invited to the platform, your management options for that agent differ based on whether or not the agent accepts the invitation and logs in to the platform. You can disable but not delete an agent if they have accessed the platform. You can only delete an agent who has never logged in.

Creating an agent

1. Navigate to Users > Agents in the left-hand navigation bar.

2. Click the New Agent button at top right to add a new agent.

3. Enter the First name and Last name of the agent.

4. Enter the Email for the agent.

5. Click on the Role dropdown and select a predefined or custom role for the agent.

6. Click on the Teams dropdown and select the team(s) you’d like to assign to the agent.

7. Select the Interface language for the agent’s user interface.

8. Check the SSO only (no password) box to enable single sign-on (SSO) for that agent.

9. Click Save.

When you first create the agent, they will not be able to view messages or reply to them. You need to grant the agent the correct permissions for the channels from which you’d like that agent to reply to messages. If you are using the Routing mode, you need to add the appropriate categories and language options for the agent to receive interactions. Visit Updating agent permissions to learn more.
