Team Assignment

Describe what each team member is responsible for — the AI routes matching tickets to them automatically.

Step 1 — Add your team

Go to Settings → User. Add staff members with name and email, or import your existing Shopify staff with one click. Every member can be edited or removed at any time.

Step 2 — Describe responsibilities

Each staff member has a free-text responsibilities field, for example:

Write it the way you'd brief a new colleague — the clearer the description, the better the AI's matching. You can update descriptions anytime; changes apply to the next incoming email.

Step 3 — Let the AI route tickets

Whenever the AI escalates an email into a ticket that needs human action, it compares the case against your team's responsibility descriptions. If one member clearly matches, the ticket is assigned automatically and the member receives a notification email containing the ticket number, a short summary and a deep link that opens the ticket directly in the Shopify admin. If no one clearly matches, the ticket stays unassigned — the AI never guesses.

Manual control

Automatic routing never locks you in: reassign or unassign any ticket from the ticket list (also in bulk) or the detail view. Manual assignments trigger the same notification email. Every assignment is logged in the ticket's event history.
