Required fields before resolving a conversation

Last updated: 26 September 2026 · 3 min read

Required fields make sure important information (for example, the reason for the contact or its outcome) is filled in for every resolved conversation. This feature is not in every plan.

Steps

  1. 1

    First create a conversation attribute

    On the Settings › Workspace settings › Custom Attributes page, create an attribute with “Applies to: Conversation” (see “Create custom attributes (contact and conversation fields)”).

  2. 2

    Make it required

    Open the Settings › Workspace settings › Conversation Workflow page. In “Attributes required on resolution”, click “Add Attributes” and choose the attribute.

  3. 3

    What the agent sees

    When an agent clicks “Resolve” and the fields are empty, the “Resolve conversation” window opens. The agent fills in the fields and clicks the “Resolve conversation” button in the window. When resolving in bulk, conversations with empty fields are skipped.
