Working hours

  1. Go to Settings → Inbox and switch on Working hours.
  2. Pick the days you’re open and the opening and closing time.
  3. Click Save.

Automations can now check them. For example, an away message: trigger New message received → condition Outside working hours → send “Thanks! We’re closed now and will reply at 10 am.” See Create an automation.

Close quiet chats automatically

  1. Switch on Close quiet chats automatically.
  2. Choose 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours or 7 days.
  3. Click Save.

A chat with no message either way for that long is closed. If the customer writes again it opens by itself. Pinned and snoozed chats are left alone.
