Manage channels

You can edit channel settings in Hootdesk, including a channel’s name, auto-ownership settings, and auto-resolve settings.

To edit a channel's settings, use the following steps:

1. In Hootdesk, select Admin settings, expand Channels and business hours, and then select Channels.
2. Point to the channel you want to edit, and then select Edit . You can make the following changes:
   • Enter a custom channel display name, up to 255 characters. This name is visible to anyone in your Hootdesk organization.
   • Enable or disable auto-ownership. If auto-ownership is enabled, agents in this channel will automatically own conversations they respond to.
   • Set auto-resolve defaults for the New and Pending queues. By default, all conversations older than 30 days are automatically resolved. You can reduce the time before resolution and specify a resolve reason.
