Create & Edit Teams
Overview
The team detail page lets you configure all aspects of a team: its properties (name, settings), its members (who belongs and their roles), and its pipeline stages (the steps opportunities move through). This is where you set up your sales funnel structure and assign agents to handle conversations.
How to Access
- Navigate to Teams in the sidebar, then click on a team name.
- Available to admin users.
Interface Overview
The page has a header showing the team name and a back button, followed by three tabs:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Properties | Team name and settings |
| Members | Add, remove, and configure team members |
| Stages | Define and manage pipeline stages |

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Agent and Admin visibility? A: Agents can only see conversations assigned to them within the team. Admins can see all conversations in the team, regardless of assignment.
Q: What does "Assignable" mean? A: When a team has auto-assignment enabled, only members marked as Assignable receive automatically distributed conversations. Non-assignable members can still manually pick up or be manually assigned conversations.
Q: Can I have stages with the same name? A: While not recommended, the system does not prevent duplicate stage names. Use unique names to avoid confusion.
Q: What happens to opportunities in a stage I delete? A: They are moved to the substitute stage you select in the deletion dialog.
