Hi,
Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for reaching out.
Currently, we cannot assign chats to a specific agent/assistant or create a private channel. All incoming chats can be viewed and answered by all agents logged into the property.
Departments allow you to make sure only the right agents answer visitors. They are also useful when assigning tickets. You can assign a ticket to a particular department ensuring everyone in the department receives the email/notification.
This is how the department function works for tawk.to chat.
1. Chats can be assigned to departments, all agents including those who are not assigned can see the incoming chats, but ONLY THOSE WHO ARE ASSIGNED to the department will get a NOTIFICATION. This is to allow easy chat transfer especially if the transfer is from one department to another.
2. In departments, un-invited agents only hear the notification sounds if there are no agents currently online in the department selected. This is to prevent the chat from going unanswered.
4. Currently, there is no option to hide chats from other departments.
