Step 1: Open Agents

  1. Go to Workflows in the sidebar.

Agent Builder Steps

  • Trigger: when the agent starts.
  • Filters: refine which events should run.
  • Action: what happens next.
  • Launch: name the agent and activate it.

Step 2: Define Triggers

  • Comment created
  • Comment replied
  • Review created
  • Message created
  • Ticket created
  • Ticket updated
  • Scheduled

Step 3: Add Filters (Optional)

  • Filter by platform or account when available.
  • Use keywords or sentiment to narrow triggers.
  • For reviews, use rating thresholds when available.

Step 4: Choose Actions

  • Reply as SIA
  • Private reply
  • Template reply (WhatsApp)
  • Send email
  • Create ticket
  • Assign ticket
  • Apply SLA
  • Escalate ticket
  • Add tags
  • Update priority
  • Update record
  • Delay
  • Webhook

Tips for Accurate Automation

  • Start with a single trigger and one action, then add filters gradually.
  • Use sentiment and keywords to reduce false positives.
  • For tickets, align categories and priorities with your SLA policies.

Common Blockers & Fixes

  • No triggers available: connect the relevant platform or inbox channel.
  • Action not shown: some actions only appear for specific triggers.
  • Agent not running: ensure it is Active.

Step 5: Activate & Monitor

  • Toggle the agent to Active.
  • Edit or pause the agent anytime from the list.

Tips

  • Start with one agent and a single trigger.
  • Add conditions gradually to avoid over‑automation.
  • Review Activity logs and iterate.
