Understand the Issues inbox cards

When an Issue is created or claimed, it will appear in the Unclaimed or Mine inbox section in the form of a card that contains important Issue information and allows you to perform basic Issue actions. NOTE: you can customize the order and content of the cards by setting Organization-wide or User-specific inbox sorting rules. You may also limit the number of simultaneous Issue cards shown in agents' Mine inboxes.

Follow the screenshot labels below to understand the anatomy of an inbox card.

3. Issue source icon: the channel where the Issue originated. 
4. Issue Reference ID: unique 6-character Issue identifier. You can use it to search for the Issue in Issues List and provide it to Customers so they can follow up on Issues.

Issues inbox card colors

On some Issue cards, you will also see a yellow-, orange- or green-colored bar at the top. 

• A yellow bar (State: Bot Active) is used for Issue chats with a Bot. As long as the user is interacting with the Bot, the bar will alert the support agent to not jump into the Issue. 

• Once the user hits a Bot end topic or presses a Speak to Agent button, the bar will turn orange (State: Interaction Required) and the agents can begin interacting with the Customer. An orange bar also signifies an Issue update, such as the addition of Issue details or a new message in Issue Private or Public Chat. NOTE: if a Bot auto-resolves the Issue right in the chat, the Issue card with an orange bar will disappear from the inbox.

• A green bar (State: Agent Active) shows up when an agent is active in the Issue chat with the Customer, but has not yet claimed the Issue (Unclaimed inbox section only).
