Teams

Create and manage dedicated support teams to streamline message routing and staff assignments. By organizing your staff into teams (such as Lending, Account Services, or Fraud), you allow users to select the appropriate department when sending a message. This ensures inquiries are directed to the right experts immediately, reducing response times and improving the overall user experience. Note: Staff members can belong to more than one team.

Users send messages to your institution via the Support hub, and select the team via the menu at the bottom of their message.
