HOW IT WORKS

From incoming conversation to the right owner.

Read the conversation context

Use supported customer, channel and conversation attributes.

Check your routing conditions

Evaluate tags, region, source, language signals, customer status and other configured criteria.

Apply assignment rules

Decide which AI Agent, team or representative should receive the conversation.

Assign or escalate

Send the conversation to the appropriate destination based on your workflow.

Keep the context attached

Continue with relevant customer details, tags and conversation history already available.

CONFIGURABLE ROUTING

Route conversations using the signals that matter to your business.

By customer context

Route using customer information and intent. Use customer segment, tags, region, source, language signals and supported conversation attributes to guide routing decisions.

By channel and source

Send each entry point into the right workflow. Route conversations from website, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, LINE, Telegram and other supported channels into the appropriate service or sales flow.

Between AI and people

Let AI start. Bring people in when needed. Assign incoming conversations to AI for first response and information collection, then transfer selected conversations to human teams using configured rules.

ASSIGNMENT & CONTINUITY

Keep ownership clear as conversations move.

Keep customer continuity

  • Return customers to a previous owner
  • Maintain designated account ownership
  • Preserve customer and conversation context
  • Use fallback assignment rules when needed

Help balance the team

  • Sequence assignment
  • Workload-based distribution
  • Random distribution where appropriate
  • Group or designated-agent assignment

Use the assignment method that fits your operating model rather than forcing every conversation through the same queue.

FROM QUALIFIED TO ASSIGNED

Qualification identifies the opportunity. Routing gives it an owner.

Once a prospect meets the criteria your team defines, Mixdesk can use tags, customer details and workflow conditions to move that conversation into the appropriate sales or service assignment flow.

CUSTOMER RESULTS

Clearer ownership. Less manual coordination.

Global sourcing

Bringing order to a shared WhatsApp service operation.

A sourcing company serving customers across 18 countries was handling more than 300 daily inquiries through a shared WhatsApp operation. With only two service agents, unclear ownership and manual coordination created duplicate work and missed follow-up. Mixdesk helped distribute conversations, apply customer categories and keep relevant context available as AI and human agents handled different types of inquiries.

FAQ

Common questions about lead routing.

What is lead routing?
Lead routing is the process of assigning incoming prospects and customer conversations to the appropriate AI Agent, service team or sales representative based on defined business rules.
How does Mixdesk route leads?
Mixdesk automation can use supported conditions such as channel, customer segment, tags, region, source, language signals and conversation status to trigger assignment workflows.
Can qualified leads be routed automatically?
Yes. When a customer meets the qualification criteria configured by your team, automation can apply tags and direct the conversation to the appropriate sales or service workflow.
Can returning customers reach the same representative?
Mixdesk supports workflows that prioritize the representative who previously served a returning customer, with fallback assignment rules when that person is unavailable.
Does Mixdesk automatically choose the best salesperson?
Mixdesk supports configurable assignment rules and customer segmentation. Routing depends on the workflow conditions, assignment methods and customer data your team configures rather than an automatic prediction of the "best" salesperson.
