Conversations allows teams to engage with customers through SMS and web chat, streamlining support and enhancing customer interactions. Here's how to configure these permissions and assign roles based on the responsibilities of your team members.

Setting Permissions for Conversations

1. Navigate to the User Permissions
Start by going to Configuration > Account and Users > Users. Locate the user you want to grant access to and click the "Edit" button next to their name.

2. Access Permissions Settings
In the Permissions settings, find the section labeled "Conversations." Here, you'll see the available roles and their corresponding permissions.

Conversations Role Breakdown

1. SMS/Web Chat Administrator

This role provides full access to all features within the Conversations tool, including:

  • Setup and configuration
  • Queue management
  • Canned responses
  • Engagement management

Because of the high level of access this role grants, it's recommended to assign these permissions only to trusted administrators or managers within your UltraCart account.
