# Team Collaboration & Agent Assignment in ChatSyncs

> How to assign a conversation to a teammate, hand it off, and leave internal notes only your team can see.

Multiple team members share the same ChatSyncs Shared Inbox — **Assigned Agent** and **Notes** are what
keep that collaboration clean, so no two agents answer the same customer and context isn't lost
between shifts.

## Assigned Agent

<Frame>

</Frame>

In the Chat Actions panel, open **Automation & Flow** and use the **Assigned Agent** dropdown to
assign or reassign the conversation to a specific team member or team.

**Example:** Rahul is unavailable today. The team lead reassigns his open conversation to
Priya so she can pick up the support without the customer having to repeat themselves.

<Tip>
  Also see [Quick Actions](/learn/chatsyncs-shared-inbox/managing-customer-data-with-custom-fields-in-chatsyncs#quick-actions) for a one-click
  **Assign Agent** shortcut, instead of going through the full panel.
</Tip>

## Notes

Internal notes are visible only to your team — never to the customer.

**Example:**

```text theme={null}
Customer requested a callback tomorrow at 10 AM. Interested in Premium Plan.
```

A teammate picking up the conversation later reads the note and already knows the context
before replying.

## Frequently asked

    Open the conversation, go to **Automation & Flow** in the Chat Actions panel, and change
    **Assigned Agent** to the teammate who should take over.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I leave a note on a conversation that the customer won't see?">
    Yes — use **Notes** in the Chat Actions panel. Notes are internal-only and never shown to
    the customer.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I stop two agents from replying to the same customer?">
    Assign the conversation to one specific agent — only that agent is expected to reply, and
    reassigning it moves ownership cleanly to someone else instead of leaving it open to anyone.
