Case study - Ticketing system

Here is what is going to happen:

  1. A new user sends a chat message.
  2. After several seconds, he receives an automated response with information that the query has been received.
  3. An agent gets a new Activity in the CRM and an email with the notification.

Now the action:

  1. New Incoming Message - timeout at least 2 hours - 7200 seconds
  2. Filter - is that a new user on the website? - First Seen less than 2 days ago
  3. Automated chat message sent to the new visitor
  4. Assign a new Activity to the agent
  5. Notify an agent with the email

As simple as that: a ticketing system made in 5 minutes. Here is what it looks like:
