For tickets that were deflected, you’ll see a more in-depth grouping.\n\n## Deflection Categories\n\nWe’ll highlight the deflection categories below:\n\n- **Closed by Internal User** - The ticket was closed manually by an agent\n- **Closed by Submitter** - The customer closed the ticket themselves after receiving an AI response\n- **Stale Intake** - The user was served a reply by the bot and never replied. This can mean the answer was correct, but without user confirmation, we don’t count it as a bot deflection\n\n**ℹ️** *AI analytics help you understand your AI assistant’s effectiveness and identify areas where your knowledge base might need improvement.*\n\n## AI Performance Metrics\n\n### Deflection Rate\n\nTrack how often your AI successfully handles inquiries without human intervention. A higher deflection rate means your AI is effectively resolving customer issues independently. The Deflection Rate Percentage is calculated using the number of Deflected Conversation divided by the Total number of conversations during the selected time period.\n\n### Response Quality\n\nMonitor the quality of AI-generated responses through customer feedback and satisfaction scores.\n\n### Conversation Flow\n\nAnalyze how customers interact with your AI assistant and identify opportunities for improvement.\n\n## AI Generated Response History\n\nHere you’ll find a list of all tickets within a time period (default is 30 days) along with the AI response and any user feedback provided. We intend this list to guide you as an admin to understand where your documentation sources could use some additional context or documents.\n\n### Using the Response History\n\n- **Review AI Responses** - See exactly what your AI assistant is saying to customers\n- **Analyze User Feedback** - Understand which responses received positive or negative feedback\n- **Identify Knowledge Gaps** - Spot areas where your documentation needs improvement\n- **Track Performance Trends** - Monitor how AI effectiveness changes over time\n\n## Related Pages\n\n- [AI Responses](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/702292cb-0523-4cb8-bc3f-05583306b466)\n- [Analytics Overview](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/bac5f324-40af-44b9-adbc-8aaafbbbbbd7)\n- [Knowledge Base](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/bc59ca2e-64e8-482f-9f9a-6e162db8fed2)","a45d37f7-afe5-49cf-836a-6c15ba59769b","2025-09-09T18:48:12.610Z","2026-04-23T17:02:17.390Z","55b9c5e5-47a6-4514-8c00-bc33f4b161e7",{"_25":153,"_102":158},"Analytics",[],[],{"_43":162,"_132":163,"_134":-5,"_135":164,"_137":165,"_13":-5,"_124":166,"_126":167,"_25":168,"_27":28,"_142":169,"_145":171,"_147":172},"AI-Generated Responses","ai-generated-responses","## ![auto-response.gif](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fauto-response.gif?alt=media)\n\n## Introduction\n\nWith Unthread AI, you can use your existing knowledge base to train an AI model to provide helpful responses and relevant documentation to customers. AI works with [Slack](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/81cba2a4-4280-4a61-ac01-328932ac36f1), [email](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/b18c73d7-178a-46dc-9a03-332f184e310a), and [in-app chat](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/b14c6436-edf4-420e-9a96-17892aee314e) support so you can automate your responses to customers across any channel.\n\n## Training AI on Your Knowledge Base\n\nOnce you’ve enabled this feature, you’ll see a tab under “Settings” > “Knowledge Base” where you can connect your documentation. We have an article about how to set up various source of knowledge\n\n📖 [Knowledge Base Syncing](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/bc59ca2e-64e8-482f-9f9a-6e162db8fed2)\n\n### Testing Responses\n\nYou can also click “Test Responses” and enter in some sample text to get a preview of what the AI will generate.\n\n## **AI-Generated Responses**\n\nYou can have the AI automatically respond to a customer question with a human-friendly response via the**Auto-responder**.\n\n💡*As a reminder, the Auto-responder is a helpful tool to automatically reply in a thread or a new email with a custom message, which can be dynamically set based on your hours of operation.*\n\n### AI-Generated Responses in the Channel\n\n![ai-gen-response.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fai-gen-response.png?alt=media)\n\n### Auto-closing Conversations\n\nAfter the AI sends a response in the channel, the customer will be presented with a thumbs up or thumbs down to provide feedback on the answer. A thumbs up will auto-close the conversation, marking it as resolved.\n\n### Enabling Auto-responder Replies\n\nFrom the Slack settings or your Email inbox settings, you can enable the AI-generated responses in the “auto-responder” section. \n\n![auto-responder-ai.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fauto-responder-ai.png?alt=media)\n\n### White-labeling the Bot\n\nYou can set your own custom name and image for the bot that replies. To set this, go to “Settings” > “General”, and you’ll see an option to set the “support name & logo”.\n\n## Suggesting Responses to Support Reps\n\nIn the case that you don’t want your customers to be interacting directly with the AI, you can instead **suggest responses** to support reps privately. This is a great way to preview what the AI-generated response would be and make edits before sending.\n\n### Suggesting a Response in Slack\n\nTo generate a suggested response from inside of Slack, you can do one of the following:\n\n- Apply the ”🤔” reaction to the message you’d like a response to\n- Use a “message shortcut” called “Suggest AI Response”\n\nIn either case, you will get a private message inline with a human-friendly response as well as links to any relevant documentation \n\n![suggest-response.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fsuggest-response.png?alt=media)\n\n### Suggesting a Response in Your Web Inbox\n\nFrom the web dashboard, when managing a conversation, you can suggest a respnose by navigating to the conversation details page, and clicking ”✨ Suggest response”.\n\nℹ️ *If you don’t see a “Suggest response” button, you likely need to go to your “Settings” > “AI” page and enable AI responses from there*\n\n## Analytics\n\n![kb-analytics.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fkb-analytics.png?alt=media)\n\n To view feedback from end users on the quality of your AI-generated responses, head over to “Analytics” > “AI” from your Unthread dashboard. \n\nFrom there, you’ll see the thumbs up or thumbs down reactions by end users, as well as examples where the AI wasn’t able to find any documentation.\n\n💡***Coming soon:*** *we’ll also suggest improvements to your docs based on the conversation history that takes place!*","ef88f17f-9bdc-4fd1-911c-acf273d2f65f","2023-12-03T18:55:51.532Z","2026-03-03T18:55:00.571Z","702292cb-0523-4cb8-bc3f-05583306b466",{"_25":165,"_102":170},"Unthread AI",[],[],{"_43":174,"_132":175,"_134":-5,"_135":176,"_137":153,"_13":-5,"_124":177,"_126":167,"_25":178,"_27":28,"_142":179,"_145":180,"_147":181},"Analytics Overview","analytics-overview","**ℹ️ *Analytics is available on all Unthread plans.*** *Contact our support team if the option is unavailable.*\n\n## Introduction\n\nWelcome to Unthread Analytics!

You can set up your own Service Account to get an API key with specific permissions.\n\n## Create a Service Account to Generate an API Key\n\nIn order to call the API, you will first need to create a service account. Service Accounts are given permissions just like users, and they can be scoped to a [Project](https://docs.unthread.io/docs/setting-up-your-account/projects-permissions), or be tenant-wide.\n\nTo generate a **Project-scoped API key**, go to \"Setup\" > \"Service Accounts\"\n\nTo generate a **tenant-wide API key** (if you're a platform admin or owner), you can go to \"Workspace Settings\" > \"Service Accounts\".\n\nOptionally, you can add a helpful description and a date of expiration of the service account. There are no limits on the number of service accounts that you create.\n\nAfter creating the new service account, you will see a window displaying the service account’s API key. Copy this key and put it somewhere safe and secret. **Once you close the window you will not be able to view the key again.**\n\n## Calling the API\n\nThe URL for calls to the API will have the following form, with $ being replaced by the endpoint you are trying to call:\n\n```plaintext\nhttps://api.unthread.io/api/${endpoint}\n```\n\nIn order to authenticate, you must send an HTTP header with the key “X-Api-Key” and the value set to the service account key created in the previous section. All request and response bodies will be in JSON.\n\n## \n\n## API Conventions\n\nThe Unthread API follows RESTful conventions when possible, with most operations performed via `GET`, `POST`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` requests. Request and response bodies are encoded as JSON.\n\n### List Endpoints\n\nAll list endpoints follow the same conventions. Requests are made in the following format:\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Where {\n field: WhereField;\n operator: '==' | '!=' | '>' | '<' | 'in' | 'notIn' | 'contains' | 'notContains' | 'like';\n value: string | number | string[];\n}\n\ninterface ListRequest {\n select?: Array;\n order?: Array;\n where?: Array>;\n limit?: number;\n descending?: boolean;\n cursor?: string;\n}\n```\n\nAccepted values for SelectField, OrderByField and WhereField depend on the object. Responses are made in the following format:\n\n```plaintext\ninterface ListResponse {\n data: Array;\n totalCount: number;\n cursors: {\n hasNext: boolean;\n hasPrevious: boolean;\n next?: string;\n previous?: string;\n };\n}\n```\n\nResponses are paginated by providing a cursor to the next or previous page.

Example below:\n\n```plaintext\n// Request\n// PATCH /conversations/0476bfd0-0c3f-4dfb-b462-d75a4a6908e1?select=id,title,initialMessage.ts,initialMessage.text,tags.id,tags.name\n{\n \"status\": \"closed\"\n}\n\n// Response\n{\n \"id\": \"0476bfd0-0c3f-4dfb-b462-d75a4a6908e1\",\n \"title\": \"A bug report\",\n \"initialMessage\": {\n \"ts\": \"1675183719.124879\",\n \"text\": \"Help, I found a bug\"\n } ,\n \"tags\": [\n {\n \"id\": \"32561c55-0f01-47af-aa55-1a3d638f41e8\",\n \"name\": \"Bug\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n## \n\n## Objects\n\n### Conversation\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Conversation {\n id: string;\n status: \"open\" | \"in_progress\" | \"on_hold\" | \"closed\";\n subStatusId: string;\n customerId: string | null;\n channelId: string;\n wasManuallyCreated: boolean;\n friendlyId: number;\n createdAt: string;\n updatedAt: string;\n closedAt: string | null;\n statusUpdatedAt: string | null;\n responseTime: number | null;\n responseTimeWorking: number | null;\n resolutionTime: number | null;\n resolutionTimeWorking: number | null;\n title: string | null;\n priority: number | null;\n initialMessage: Message;\n assignedToUserId: User | null;\n tags: Array;\n customer: Customer | null;\n wakeUpAt: string | null;\n summary: string | null;\n snoozedAt: string | null;\n lockedAt: string | null;\n ticketTypeId: string | null;\n ticketTypeFields: Record;\n metadata?: Record;\n projectId: string;\n followers?: {\n userId?: string;\n groupId?: string;\n entityId: string;\n }[];\n collaborators?: {\n collaboratorTypeId: string;\n userId?: string;\n groupId?: string;\n entityId: string;\n }[];\n files?: {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n size: number;\n filetype: string;\n mimetype: string;\n }[];\n}\n```\n\n### Message\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Message {\n ts: string;\n userId: string;\n userTeamId: string;\n botId: string;\n botName: string;\n text: string;\n subtype: string | null;\n conversationId: string;\n timestamp: string;\n threadTs: string | null;\n conversation: Conversation;\n user: User | null;\n metadata?: {\n eventType?:\n | \"autoresponder_replied\"\n | \"email_received\"\n | \"email_explanation_sent\"\n | \"widget_message_received\"\n | \"microsoft_teams_message_received\"\n | \"unthread_outbound\"\n | \"post_close_template_sent\"\n | \"customer_view_button\"\n | \"slack_bot_dm_received\";\n };\n}\n```\n\n### Customer (aka Channel)\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Customer {\n name: string;\n primarySupportAssigneeId: string | null;\n primarySupportAssigneeType: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeId: string | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeType: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n replyTimeoutMinutes: number | null;\n defaultTriageChannelId: string | null;\n disableAutomatedTicketing: boolean | null;\n botHandling: \"off\" | \"all\" | null;\n autoresponder: AutoresponderOptions | null;\n supportSteps: Array | null;\n slackTeamId: string | null;\n assignToTaggedUserEnabled: boolean | null;\n slackChannelId: string | null;\n createdAt: string;\n updatedAt: string;\n tags: Array;\n slackChannel: SlackChannel | null;\n projectId: string;\n}\n```\n\n### Tag\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Tag {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n description: string;\n autoTaggingEnabled: boolean;\n projectId: string;\n}\n```\n\n### User\n\n```plaintext\ninterface User {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n email: string;\n slackId: string;\n photo: string;\n customFields: CustomField[];\n}\n```\n\n### User Team\n\n```plaintext\ninterface UserTeam {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n slackId: string;\n}\n```\n\n### Slack Channel\n\n```plaintext\ninterface SlackChannel {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n isShared: boolean;\n isPrivate: boolean;\n}\n```\n\n### Simple Condition\n\n```plaintext\ninterface SimpleCondition {\n leftValue?: any;\n leftValueFrom?: string;\n operator: \"equals\" | \"notEquals\" | \"greaterThan\" | \"lessThan\" | \"greaterThanOrEquals\" | \"lessThanOrEquals\" | \"contains\" | \"notContains\" | \"in\" | \"notIn\";\n rightValue?: any;\n rightValueFrom?: string;\n}\n```\n\nFor a “simple condition”, the left and right values are compared using the operator. For example, if the operator is “equals”, the left and right values are compared for equality. For left and right values, either a value can be provided directly or a reference to a field in the “context”, through the `leftValueFrom` and `rightValueFrom` fields.\n\nThe “context” depends on the object and the operation. For example, for ticket type field conditions, the context has the following shape:\n\n```plaintext\n{\n \"conversation\": {\n \"ticketTypeFields\": {\n \"12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc\": \"value-1\",\n \"42345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abd\": \"value-2\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nTherefore, a condition can be added on a ticket type field like this:\n\n```plaintext\n{\n \"leftValueFrom\": \"conversation.ticketTypeFields['12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc']\",\n \"operator\": \"equals\",\n \"rightValue\": \"value-1\"\n}\n```\n\nThis will cause the field to be available for a given conversation if the ticket type has field `12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc` set to `value-1`.\n\n### Ticket Type Field\n\n```plaintext\ninterface TicketTypeField {\n id: string;\n label: string;\n type: \"short-answer\" | \"long-answer\" | \"multi-select\" | \"single-select\" | \"checkbox\" | \"user-select\" | \"multi-user-select\";\n required: boolean;\n public: boolean;\n description: string;\n options?: string[];\n conditions?: {\n type: \"simple\";\n simple:\n | SimpleCondition\n | {\n and: SimpleCondition[];\n }\n | {\n or: SimpleCondition[];\n };\n };\n}\n```\n\nFor ticket type field conditions, the only context\n\n### Ticket Type\n\n```plaintext\ninterface TicketType {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n projectId: string;\n description: string;\n createdAt: string;\n updatedAt: string;\n fields: Array;\n}\n```\n\n### Autoresponder Options\n\n```plaintext\ninterface AutoresponderOptions {\n enabled: boolean;\n condition: \"always\" | \"outside-working-hours\";\n message: string;\n}\n```\n\n### Support Step\n\n```plaintext\ninterface SupportStep {\n type: \"assignment\" | \"escalation\" | \"reminder\" | \"triage\";\n assigneeId?: string;\n assigneeType?: \"user\" | \"team\";\n minutes: number;\n shouldCycleThroughTeamMembers?: boolean;\n maxCycles?: number;\n cycleMinutes?: number;\n}\n```\n\n### Outbound\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Outbound {\n id: string;\n status: \"scheduled\" | \"draft\" | \"sent\" | \"failed\";\n deliveryMethod: \"slack\";\n subject: string;\n // See Slack Block Kit documentation for details on the blocks field: https://api.slack.com/block-kit\n blocks: Array;\n recipients: {\n type: \"customer\";\n id: string;\n }[];\n sendAs: {\n // For type == \"support-rep\" the ID is the user ID to use as a default if there is no support rep for a given customer.\n type: \"user\" | \"support-rep\";\n id: string;\n };\n runAt: string;\n}\n```\n\n### Webhook Subscription\n\n```plaintext\ninterface WebhookSubscription {\n id: string;\n url: string;\n enabled: boolean;\n}\n```\n\n### Approval Request\n\n```plaintext\ninterface ApprovalRequest {\n status: \"approved\" | \"rejected\" | \"pending\";\n id: string;\n tenantId: string;\n assignedToGroupId?: string;\n assignedToUserId?: string;\n statusChangedAt?: Date;\n conversationId: string;\n title?: string;\n notes?: string;\n createdAt: Date;\n approverUser?: User;\n approverGroup?: UserTeam;\n}\n```\n\n### Collaborator Type\n\n```plaintext\ninterface CollaboratorType {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n key: string;\n description?: string;\n}\n```\n\n### Account\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Account {\n id: string;\n name: string;\n primarySupportAssigneeId: string | null;\n primarySupportAssigneeType: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeId: string | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeType: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n emailsAndDomains: string[];\n slackChannelIds: string[];\n slackTeamIds: string[];\n customFields: any[];\n supportSteps: any[];\n imageUrl: string | null;\n externalCrmMetadata: {\n id: string;\n } | null;\n createdAt: string;\n updatedAt: string;\n createdBy: string;\n updatedBy: string;\n slackChannels: Array;\n slackTeams: Array<{\n id: string;\n name: string;\n icon: string;\n }>;\n tags: Array;\n}\n```\n\n## Endpoints\n\n### Accounts\n\n**Create Account**\n\n```plaintext\nPOST /accounts\n```\n\nThis endpoint will create and return a new account.\n\nRequest schema:\n\n```plaintext\ninterface CreateAccountRequest {\n name: string;\n primarySupportAssigneeId?: string | null;\n primarySupportAssigneeType?: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeId?: string | null;\n secondarySupportAssigneeType?: \"user\" | \"team\" | null;\n emailsAndDomains?: string[];\n slackChannelIds?: string[];\n slackTeamIds?: string[];\n customFields?: any[];\n supportSteps?: any[];\n imageUrl?: string | null;\n externalCrmMetadata?: {\n id: string;\n } | null;\n}\n```\n\n### Get Account by ID\n\n```plaintext\nGET /accounts/:accountId\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return the given account.\n\n### Update Account\n\n```plaintext\nPATCH /accounts/:accountId\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return the updated account.

Behavior will differ depending on the `type` field:\n\n- For `type == \"slack\"`, the conversation will be for communication in Slack. You can choose to post the details either into a DM or into a channel.\n- For `type == \"triage\"`, the conversation will be for internal discussion only and there will be no way to communicate with the customer. The `triageChannelId` field is required.\n- For `type == \"email\"`, the conversation will be continued via email replies. Replies in the thread with `/unthread send` appended will be sent to the customer via email. The `emailInboxId` field is required. The `onBehalfOf` field is used to specify the email address and name of the end user to communicate with.\n\nIf `customerId` is provided, the conversation will be linked to the given customer and that customer’s autoresponder and SLA settings will be applied.\n\nRequest schema:\n\n```plaintext\ninterface CreateConversationRequest {\n type: \"triage\" | \"email\" | \"slack\";\n markdown: string;\n status: \"open\" | \"in_progress\" | \"on_hold\" | \"closed\";\n assignedToUserId?: string;\n customerId?: string;\n channelId?: string; // Only required if type == \"slack\".

Either email or id must be provided.\n email?: string;\n name?: string;\n id?: string;\n };\n}\n```\n\n### Attachments\n\nFiles can be attached to the conversation by making a multipart/form-data request instead of a JSON request. The JSON payload should be included as a form field named `json` and the files should be included as additional form fields with the name `attachments` and the file as the value. Up to 10 files can be attached to each message and the maximum file size is 20MB. See the following Javascript example for clarification:\n\n```plaintext\nconst formData = new FormData();\n\nformData.append(\n \"json\",\n JSON.stringify({\n type: \"email\",\n markdown: \"Hello, world!\",\n status: \"open\",\n onBehalfOf: {\n email: \"example@unthread.io\",\n name: \"Example User\",\n },\n emailInboxId: \"12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc\",\n })\n);\n\nformData.append(\"attachments\", file1);\nformData.append(\"attachments\", file2);\n\nawait fetch(\"https://api.unthread.io/api/conversations\", {\n method: \"POST\",\n headers: {\n \"X-Api-Key\": \"Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\",\n },\n body: formData,\n});\n```\n\nNotes:\n\n- Markdown should follow the [Slack formatting](https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting) guide.\n- For more info on multipart/form-data requests, see the IETF [RFC 7578](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7578).\n\n### Get Conversation by ID\n\n```plaintext\nGET /conversations/:conversationId\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return the given conversation.\n\n### Update Conversation\n\n```plaintext\nPATCH /conversations/:conversationId\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return the updated conversation. Fields that can be updated are:\n\n- `status`\n- `subStatusId`\n- `priority`\n- `notes`\n- `assignedToUserId`\n- `wakeUpAt`\n- `snoozedAt`\n- `excludeAnalytics`\n- `title`\n- `lockedAt`\n- `customerId`\n- `ticketTypeId`\n- `ticketTypeFields`\n- `submitterUserId`\n- `metadata`\n\n### \n\nQuery parameters:\n\n- `useFullContent` (optional): When set to `true`, returns the full content of the conversation in the response. Defaults to `false`.\n- `mergeTicketTypeFields`(optional): When set to `true`, merges the provided `ticketTypeFields` with existing fields instead of replacing them entirely. Defaults to `false`.\n\nExample:\n\n```plaintext\nPATCH /conversations/:conversationId?mergeTicketTypeFields=true\n```\n\n### **List Conversations**\n\n```plaintext\nPOST / conversations / list;\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return a list of conversations.\n\n### List Messages for Conversation\n\n```plaintext\nPOST /conversations/:conversationId/messages/list\n```\n\nThis endpoint will return a list of messages for a given conversation.\n\n### Create Message in Conversation\n\n```plaintext\nPOST /conversations/:conversationId/messages\n```\n\nThis endpoint will post a new message into a Slack thread for a conversation.\n\nSample request:\n\n```plaintext\ninterface Block {\n type: \"section\" | \"survey\";\n text?: {\n text: string;\n type: \"mrkdwn\" | \"plaintext\";\n };\n survey_id?: string;\n}\n\ninterface CreateMessageRequest {\n body?: {\n type: \"html\" | \"markdown\";\n value: string;\n };\n blocks?: Block[];\n markdown?: string; // DEPRECEATED: Use 'blocks' and/or 'body' instead\n triageThreadTs?: string;\n isPrivateNote?: boolean; // Only applicable for email and in-app chat conversations\n isAutoresponse?: boolean; // Set this to true to treat this as a bot auto-response.

Dimensions are nested in the order they are included in the request. See the example below for clarification.\n- `dates` is an array of the time periods covered by the query. For grouping by weeks, each value in the array is the first day of the week starting on Monday. For grouping by months, each value in the array is the first day of the month.\n- `lookups` contains friendly names for the keys contained in `data`.

Triggers include:\n\n- Conversation created\n- Conversation updated\n- [Approval request](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/bb777015-d4c8-4581-8b91-9f0e101d5e32) response received\n- New message received\n- Conversation left unresponded for a set period of time\n\n### Scheduled\n\nRun automations on an interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and at a specific time.\n\n### Manually Trigger\n\nYou can manually trigger an automation from your [dashboard](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/40966c57-301c-4f16-8421-dd352c3eb3c7) to kick off actions. You’ll automatically have the context of the conversation passed into the action, and you can optionally configure additional input fields that required before the automation can be started.\n\n### Trigger via Emoji Reaction\n\nWhen a reaction is applied to a conversation, you can trigger an automation to run.\n\n### Trigger via Webhooks\n\nWe’ll generate a unique URL for your automation to be kicked from a 3rd party system.\n\nPassing context into webhook-triggered automations (`contextFields`)\n\nWhen triggering an automation via webhook, you can include `contextFields` in the webhook request body.\n\nExample:\n\n```json\n{\n \"contextFields\": {\n \"conversationId\": \"your-conversation-id\"\n }\n}\n```\n\nSupported `contextFields`:\n\n- `conversationId`\n- `userId`\n- `messageId`\n- `customerId`\n- `triageThreadId`\n- `escalationId`\n- `approvalRequestId`\n- `approverId`\n\nNotes:\n\n- Only `contextFields.conversationId` is relevant for automation filters and built-in actions.\n- The other IDs (listed above) populate the corresponding object in custom functions in the input.\n\n## Filters\n\nYou can optionally add filters that will only start the automation if the conversation matches filters around ticket type, status, customer, assignee, and more.\n\n### Tip: Use Filters to Prevent Infinte Loops\n\nIf an automation triggers on an event like response received and also posts a bot/autoresponder message (e.g., a notification), the bot message can trigger the automation again.\n\nTo prevent this, add a filter/condition to exclude autoresponses:\n\n- `Is Autoresponse? = No`\n\nThis ensures the bot message is not considered a trigger.\n\n## Actions\n\n![automation-actions.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fautomation-actions.png?alt=media)\n\n### Built-in Actions\n\nUnthread has a number of built-in actions that can be used to trigger other automations, send messages, and more.\n\n### Running Custom Code\n\nYou can write your own code for full control over the actions, success handling, and error handling. Code by default is written in TypeScript, and will contain references to your conversations, your Unthread account, and any stored secrets (see more below).\n\nWe provide code snippets of common actions so you get the full flexibility of controlling the actions, success handling, and error handling, while also not needing to write code yourself.\n\n### Example Action: Creating Task in Jira for Critical Priority Conversations\n\n```plaintext\nexport async function main({ input, secrets, unthreadClient }: any) {\n const CRITICAL_PRIORITY = 9;\n const {\n conversation: {\n id,\n title,\n priority,\n initialMessage: { text },\n },\n } = input;\n\n if (conversation.priority === CRITICAL_PRIORITY) {\n const externalTaskRes = await unthreadClient.post(`/conversations/${id}/external-tasks`, {\n title: title,\n description: text,\n projectId: \"10000\",\n providerConfig: {\n jiraIssueTypeName: \"Task\",\n },\n });\n const externalTask = await externalTaskRes.json();\n\n if (!externalTaskRes.ok) {\n throw new Error(`Failed to create issue, status: ${externalTaskRes.status}, response: ${JSON.stringify(externalTask ?? {})}`);\n }\n\n console.log(`Created issue`, externalTask);\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Storing Secrets\n\nWhen making requests to 3rd party services, any API keys or sensitive information need to be encrypted rather than stored in code.\n\nYou can store secrets in the “Configuration” > “Secrets” section of your dashboard. You reference them in your code by using the `secrets` variable in your function signature (see example above).\n\nUsing our Secret Management system, we’ll encrypt your secrets using Google’s 256-bit encrypted Key Management System.\n\n![automations-7.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fautomations-7.png?alt=media)\n\n## Storing Persistent Data\n\nWe provide a key-value storage system to maintain a persistent store of data to be used in your custom code.\n\nFor example, if you want to send a [CSAT survey](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/e1f7180c-074d-4962-a423-5c4de83f32dd) if it’s been at least 1 week since the last survey, you can store and check the last survey send date from your key-value store.\n\nℹ️ *Automations need to be enabled for trial accounts. If you’d like more information, please [**contact us**](mailto:support@unthread.io).*\n\n## External Select Functions\n\nUsing Automations, you can write custom code to dynamically pull a list of options for a given input field.\n\n![external-select.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fexternal-select.png?alt=media)\n\nThis is useful for things like:\n\n- Showing certain options for accounts based on their subscription tier\n- Pulling a list of users from a Google Group\n- Dynamically showing input field options based on the ticket type selected\n\n### Setup\n\n1. Go to the “Automations” page in your Unthread dashboard, and click the “Configuration” tab\n2. Click the “Edit functions” button\n3. In the code editor, you’ll see a button at the bottom for “Add external select function”\n\n### Building the Function\n\nAs you’ll see in the sample code, each item returned in the `options` array will be a dropdown option. The `value` field will be the value that is sent to the automation when the option is selected, and the `label` field will be the text that is shown in the dropdown. Sample code:\n\n```plaintext\nexport const externalSelectSample = functions.externalSelect(async ({ input, unthreadApiClient, state, secrets }) => {\n return [\n {\n value: \"1\",\n label: \"Option 1\",\n },\n ];\n}\n```\n\nIn the `input` object, you’ll receive the following:\n\n- `input.conversation`: The conversation object\n- `input.customerId`: The customer ID of the conversation\n- `input.ticketType`: The ticket type of the conversation\n- `input.ticketTypeId`: The ticket type ID of the conversation\n\nIn the example above, you’ll be able to use the `externalSelectSample` function in an input field to return the list of options.\n\n### Using the Select Values in an Input Field\n\nWhen editing a [ticket type](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/43cfb748-5e4c-420d-8c03-f922f6bb7dad), you can have an input field marked as a “single select”. Instead of specifying a static list of options, you can click the “Load from an external source” button, and select the function you’d like to use.","23a0e01f-f43f-42d8-9bd0-2ee66adfbed0","2024-10-16T15:22:07.588Z","2026-04-02T21:30:27.792Z","e342f975-b5f9-4249-97c7-e369026db481",{"_25":228,"_102":233},"Workflow Management",[],[],{"_43":237,"_132":238,"_134":-5,"_135":239,"_137":240,"_13":-5,"_124":241,"_126":242,"_25":243,"_27":28,"_142":244,"_145":246,"_147":247},"Autoresponder","autoresponder","The Autoresponder, as you might have guessed from the name, is a way to automatically respond to new customer messages in a Slack channel, email, or in-app chat request.

This gives you more privacy control, and it requires an additional step of adding us to the channels you’d like to track. Let’s learn how!\n\n## Add Channels from Your Dashboard\n\nNavigate to the desired **Project** from the left-hand pane, click on **Channels**, select the app you want to connect (Slack, Teams, etc.) from the upper tab, then click the **“+ Connect”** button in the upper-right corner.\n\nIf you’ve connected to Slack, you can search through channels or filter for shared channels (aka Slack Connect channels). Check the box on the left next to the channel you’d like to add, and click the “Connect selected channels” button at the bottom.\n\nThe list of channels is pulled directly from Slack, so you should see channels here as soon as they are created.\n\n![Select Channels to Connect.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2FSelect%20Channels%20to%20Connect.png?alt=media)\n\n## Shared vs. Internal Channels\n\n**Shared channels** are channels shared with non-members of your Slack workspace like customers and external partners.\n\n**Internal channels** are channels within your company (e.g. IT Support Channel). To track internal channel tickets, click “Internal” tab and click the checkboxes to select.\n\n## Backfill Channel History 6 Months Option\n\n![image.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fb246281b-80b7-4ac8-81ca-8dd88fc60abc.png?alt=media)\n\nSelecting the backfill history (6 months) option imports threads in that channel from the past 6 months as **closed** tickets. If there is content in the threads from the past 6 months that can inform **AI response and knowledge base content** we recommend utilizing this option when connecting a new channel.\n\n## Manage Channel Settings\n\nOnce you’ve connected a channel, you can manage the settings by clicking the corresponding channel then selecting the “Settings” option. Some settings will be automatically filled out, but you can adjust these on a per-customer basis.\n\nFor each individual channel, you can see a history of their conversations as well as override these settings:\n\n- SLAs\n- Triage channel\n- Conversation tracking settings\n- Auto-responder\n\n![Channel Settings.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2FChannel%20Settings.png?alt=media)\n\n💡 *Learn more about [**SLAs**](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/fd9eb70a-c41c-4915-ab29-12d4c46743fb) and [**triaging**](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/016a0ff3-d7ba-40bc-bbd6-9676c04854db) in customer channels*\n\n## \n\n## Connect New Channels Automatically\n\n![new-channel-prompt.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fnew-channel-prompt.png?alt=media)\n\nAfter connecting your first channels, we’ll automatically start to notify you via a Slack DM to create channels for new shared channels. Once connected, they will appear in your Unthread dashboard in the Customers list. You can also choose to enable an automation to connect channels as soon as they’re created. From your Profile page in the Unthread dashboard, you’ll see the following settings:\n\n![Connect New Channels.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2FConnect%20New%20Channels.png?alt=media)\n\nThere are three options for automatic channel connection:\n\n- Always connect new channels(channels shared with external customers)\n- Ask before connecting new channels, and the app will DM you when new channels are connected (as seen in screenshot above)\n- Don’t automatically connect, meaning we will not automatically connect channels, and you’ll need to go to the Customers page to connect new channels manually\n\nTo edit these settings, head over to your Profile in the Unthread web app.\n\nℹ️ *Automatic channel tracking will only add a channel when it’s been shared outside of the organization, so no internal channels will be tracked 👌*\n\n## \n\n## Removing Channels\n\nIf you want to stop tracking conversations for a channel, head over to their “Settings” page from the dashboard. On the bottom left, you’ll see a “Disconnect channel from Unthread” button.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nLet us try to diagnose the problem if you’re seeing something strange.\n\n### I created a channel but don’t see it in the “connect channels” screen\n\n- The channel may already exist! We only show channels that aren’t yet connected. Someone on your team may have already connected this channel, or they may have automatic channel creation which would instantly connect the channel.\n- When connecting channels, you’ll see a toggle between “Shared” and “Internal” channels.

This means you never need to open Outlook or Gmail again 🙌\n\nMore importantly, email tickets for existing Slack customers will now be visible from one place so you can view all customer communications together.\n\n🎦 [Check out this demo on email integration with Unthread.](https://www.loom.com/share/edfe02451bbc425091e370421ba4debc)\n\n## 🛠 Setting up the connector\n\nThe first step is to forward messages from an email address into Slack. That way, your entire team has context, and you can use assignment rules to notify the right responder. Head over to “**Channels**”> “**Email**” from your Unthread dashboard to get started by clicking \"**New Email Inbox**\".\n\n### Only new emails will be created as Unthread tickets\n\nNo historical email activity from the email accounts that you were receiving email support tickets to will be read or used to create tickets in Unthread. Only new emails received after the setup will create Unthread tickets.\n\n### Set up email forwarding\n\nFirst, choose a name for the support email group, something like “\\[Company\\] Support” will do just fine! Then, add the email address that you use to receive support emails. You should have already set this up via your email provider. Lastly, set up email forwarding to the Unthread email that’s in the dashboard. This is the trickiest step! Follow these steps to enable forwarding, depending on which email provider you use:\n\n- [**Gmail / Google Workspace**](https://support.google.com/a/answer/4524505#address-map-forwarding)\n\nThe preferred method is to use address maps, which allows you to forward emails from a specific address to another address. This is more reliable than using a Google Group or other forwarding method. In order to set this up, you’ll need to be an admin of your Google Workspace account. Go to the [Gmail Routing settings](https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/routing) and scroll down to “Email forwarding using recipient address map”. Click “Add Another Rule”. In the popup, set “Address” to the email address you want to forward, and “Forward to” to the Unthread email address. Click “Add”. Make sure “Messages to affect” is set to “All incoming messages” and “Also route to original destination” is checked.

It’ll be more reliable this way and is worth the effort!*\n\n- *Be sure that your support email (for example “[**support@yourdomain.com**](mailto:support@yourdomain.com)” or ”[**sales@yourdomain.com**](mailto:sales@yourdomain.com)”) matches exactly what you enter into the Unthread dashboard*\n\n- *Double-check that you’ve entered the unthread email (should look something like “[**domain-unthread-u9hd0@mail.unthread.io**](mailto:domain-unthread-u9hd0@mail.unthread.io)” is entered in your email forwarding setup*\n\n- **Outlook / Microsoft 365**\n\n[Follow these steps](https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/forward-email-from-office-365-to-another-email-account-1ed4ee1e-74f8-4f53-a174-86b748ff6a0e) to set up email forwarding in Outlook.\n\n### Choose a Slack channel\n\nSelect a channel from the dropdown, and the email contents will be posted there. For your channel to appear, it must be an internal channel (not a Slack Connect or shared channel).\n\nℹ️ *Emails do not get posted to a Slack Connect channel for privacy reasons; users who submit emails may not want to share them with the rest of the team.*\n\n### Set up assignment rules\n\nInbound emails can have their own assignment rules that you configure on this page. This is important because the email may not match an existing customer, so you’ll need to determine how to assign those messages.\n\n### Domain verification (optional)\n\nBy default, email replies sent from Slack or Unthread will come from an email address ending in `@mail.unthread.io`.\n\nIf you’d like to change this, you can verify your own domain so that replies come from an email address with your domain. To do this, head over to **Settings → Security** and select “Add email domain”.\n\nℹ️ *Verification will require updating your websites DNS records, so be sure to have access to your web hosting provider before starting the process.*\n\n## 📨 Managing emails in Slack\n\nOnce setup, you’ll start seeing email content posted directly to your Slack channel. How great is that!\n\n### Tracking & assigning new messages\n\nYou’ve already set up the assignment rules in the first step, new emails are [tracked just like any other message](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/b064a634-bd6f-4812-aed5-b39db022f5ad). This means you can set up [escalation paths](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/fd9eb70a-c41c-4915-ab29-12d4c46743fb) & SLAs, [triage messages](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/016a0ff3-d7ba-40bc-bbd6-9676c04854db) with your team, and more. When a message is assigned to you, it will be in your [Inbox](https://help.unthread.unthread.io/articles/4a4b3193-b2b2-4195-ba4b-7ab72362d887).\n\nNew messages will use the 📩 icon to indicate that the message is from an inbound email.\n\n![slackconnector-1.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fslackconnector-1.png?alt=media)\n\n### Discussing internally\n\nUnthread will create a thread for the inbound email where you can discuss things internally. By default, all comments in this thread are private and not shared with the customer. You’ll see a message like the one below posted with any new email.\n\n![slackconnector-2.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fslackconnector-2.png?alt=media)\n\n### Sending replies to customers\n\nThis is the good stuff and allows you to talk with customers without ever leaving Slack. Compose your message in the thread that Unthread has created for you, and when you’re ready to send, include “/unthread send” at the bottom of the message.\n\n![slack-connector-3.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fslack-connector-3.png?alt=media)\n\nWhen you include this, the message will be sent to the customer in the same email thread, and anyone cc’ed on the message will automatically be included.\n\nHere’s how that very reply will look to the customer in the email that they receive:\n\n![slack-connector-4.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fslack-connector-4.png?alt=media) Pretty nifty, eh?\n\n## \n\n## 📊 Analytics\n\n### Response times & resolution times\n\nYou’ll get the same great analytics on response rates and resolution times that you get with other messages. The “Analytics” tab will show you these reports, and allow you to filter for email vs. Slack vs. in-app chat responses\n\n### Linking to customers\n\nEmail conversations will automatically be linked to customers based on domain. When you view a customer profile, you’ll be able to see a history of conversations across email, Slack, and in-app chat. To update the domain for a given customer, head to the “Settings” tab, and scroll to the section “Email domains for this customer”.\n\n## \n\n## 🛠️ Troubleshooting\n\n### Authorization Failed when linking/configuring an email inbox\n\nIf you see an `Authorization Failed` error when linking/configuring an email inbox from the web dashboard, confirm that you’re configuring the inbox inside a specific project where you have **Owner** permissions.\n\n### Why aren’t emails appearing in Slack?\n\n- Be sure that your support email (for example “[support@yourdomain.com](mailto:support@yourdomain.com)” or ”[sales@yourdomain.com](mailto:sales@yourdomain.com)”) matches exactly what you enter into the Unthread dashboard\n- Double-check that you’ve entered the unthread email (should look something like “[domain-unthread-u9hd0@mail.unthread.io](mailto:domain-unthread-u9hd0@mail.unthread.io)” is entered in your email forwarding setup\n- Check the Slack channel used in the integration, and be sure that it hasn’t been deleted or archived\n\n### **Why aren’t email replies from my team members appearing?**\n\nIt’s likely because your forwarding rules aren’t sending emails from team members to Unthread.\n\nWhen setting up your email forwarding, be sure that you have this configured correctly:\n\n![gmail-forwarding.png](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/trnout-co.appspot.com/o/unthread-unthread-e4pm8%2Fknowledge-base%2Fgmail-forwarding.png?alt=media)\n\n### Why is a single email thread creating multiple Unthread conversations?\n\nUnthread should automatically group email threads into a single conversation.\n\nIf you see mulitple conversations, it may be due to:\n\n- Email forwarding rules may not be set up correctly (please refer to the photo above)\n- If the original sender is moved to bcc, a new conversation will be created (since replies will no longer notify the original submitter)\n\n### How do I block emails?\n\nIf you’re using the Gmail forwarding option, you can leverage Gmail’s spam filtering and blocking rules out of the box.\n\nTo block additional emails, you can change this by going to “Settings” > “Email”, and clicking “Edit configuration” next to one of your inboxes. At the bottom, you’ll see a section for “Blocked emails”, and you can add either a single email (e.g. [jim@spam-r-us.com](mailto:jim@spam-r-us.com)), or a full domain (e.g. spam-r-us.com).","0a6a16ad-c70f-4bc4-bf6f-9c11ab4fc281","2024-01-26T16:42:59.917Z","2026-03-24T15:08:10.586Z","b18c73d7-178a-46dc-9a03-332f184e310a",{"_25":332,"_102":329},[],[],{"_43":340,"_132":341,"_134":-5,"_135":342,"_137":311,"_13":-5,"_124":343,"_126":344,"_25":345,"_27":28,"_142":346,"_145":347,"_147":348},"Embedded Customer Portal","customer-portal-beta","Embed your Unthread customer portal directly into your own web application so customers never leave your product to get help.
