Contact Name | The name of the Contact assigned. |
Previous Assignee | The previous assignee of the Contact. If there is no previous assignee, this will be shown as “-”. |

FAQ and Troubleshooting
What happens when a returning Contact already has an assignee?
When a returning Contact with an existing assignee opens a new conversation, it does not prompt an assignment activity. This means that no number will be added to the Contact Assignments chart and no data will be added to the Contact Assignments Log.
For example, the conversation with Joe has ended and closed, but it remains assigned to Agent Fox. The same Contact, Joe, returns with another question, opening a new conversation. Because Agent Fox has remained as the assignee from the previous conversation, Joe will automatically appear in Agent Fox’s Mine inbox. The platform will consider this as no assignment has happened.
