The Router decides which task takes a new lead who contacts your agent. It only appears when the agent has two or more tasks. With a single task, every inbound lead goes straight to that task.

Where to find it

Select the agent, open the right pane (Configuration), and go to Channels. The Router is the first block of that section.

Router off: one task receives every inbound lead

The switch is off by default and reads Off: everything goes to one task. Choose the task under Inbound leads go to. Every new inbound lead on the agent’s channels starts in that task.
The Router block switched off, with the task that receives every inbound lead selected. Shown in the Spanish interface.

Router on: Nexor picks the task

Turn the switch on and it reads Nexor picks the task based on what the lead says. Nexor reads the first message of each new inbound lead and sends the lead to the task that fits it. The selector below changes to If it’s unclear, route to. That is the fallback task: it receives the lead when the message does not make clear which task should handle it.
Give each task a clear description of which leads it should handle. Nexor uses it to tell the tasks apart, so two tasks with similar descriptions are harder to route.

Which leads go through the Router

The Router only decides for leads without an open conversation in the agent.

Channels belong to the agent

All tasks of an agent share its numbers and inboxes: WhatsApp, calls, SMS, iMessage, email, and web chat. You connect a channel once on the agent and every task uses it. The Router decides which task answers; the channel stays the same.

Inbound calls need the Router

If the agent receives inbound calls, the Router must stay on. Trying to turn it off shows:
This agent takes inbound calls, which need the router. Turn off inbound calls first.
Turn off inbound calls for the agent first, then turn off the Router.
