What Is SupportCandy – Assign Agent Rules?
SupportCandy – Assign Agent Rules is developed by SupportCandy and is a support plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the support category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for customer service management. The add-on functions as a logic layer for the base ticket system, allowing administrators to define specific criteria for ticket distribution.
Assigning agents to new tickets manually is a tedious and time-consuming task that slows down response times. This extension is for support managers who want to automate ticket routing based on departments, ticket priorities, or custom fields.
SupportCandy – Assign Agent Rules Features
The feature set is built around conditional automation and intelligent agent group distribution.
Conditional Logic Rules
The administrator sets rules including conditions and agents or agentgroups to assign. When a customer creates a ticket, Assign Agent Rules matches the conditions against the ticket data. If multiple rules are matched, agents from all matched rules are assigned to the ticket, ensuring no department is left out of support workflows.
Advanced Group Assignments
Assign Agent Rules provides three distinct ways to handle agentgroups. You can assign agentgroups only, where supervisors manage visibility and further delegate tasks to members. This keeps high-level oversight while maintaining specialized focus for individual agents.
Workload and Availability Routing
The plugin can assign a group and one of its members, including or excluding supervisors, based on specific metrics. It evaluates current workload or the closest working hours to ensure tickets go to the agent most likely to respond quickly. This prevents agent burnout and speeds up ticket resolution.
