We recommend setting up trigger conditions for side conversations in order to fully integrate them into your workflows and to keep agents on top of the activity within them.

About support addresses used to send side conversations

Side conversation notifications are sent from the support address associated with the ticket that the side conversation is on (for example, [e-mail]). If you have multiple brands and support addresses, side conversation notifications come from each of your support addresses (for example, [e-mail]).

Note: You can use the Select An Address app to control the email address that side conversation notifications are sent from. For example, the app allows you to change the default support address associated with a ticket.

If you have internal email routing rules (for example, in Microsoft Exchange), we recommend that you include references to each of your unique support addresses. Otherwise, email notification for side conversations will not be routed correctly. Check your allowlists and blocklists.
