Trigger: Inbound Message Received (for Open Conversations)
M
Max Egorov
Business Problem:
Currently, the “Conversation Opened” trigger is the only option available for setting up automations like Out of Office replies.
This makes it impossible to trigger auto-responses (e.g., during weekends or holidays) for incoming messages in already open conversations, potentially leading to delays in setting expectations with clients.
Desired Outcome:
Introduce a “Inbound Message Received” trigger, which would allow workflows to:
- Send automated responses to new messages, even if the conversation is already open
- Set up proper Out of Office messages, weekend replies, or routing workflows
Workaround:
Agents would need to manually close all conversations at the end of each business day, ensuring that any new inbound message triggers the “Conversation Opened” workflow.

We need to send an automatic message when the chat is already open, we need this so that customers know if our operations are offline.
