Agent's Workspace User Guides

After installing and configuring Beesender, an agent workplace will appear for users who are added as agents.

The agent’s workplace is available in two versions:

  • Agent’s workplace in the Communication panel – Agent's workspace integrated into the communication panel, which can be easily minimized and allows simultaneous work with both chats and system sections.

  • Full-screen agent’s workplace – Full-screen agent workspace, designed for agents primarily focused on chat interactions and not utilizing other sections, offering enhanced convenience.

The functionality of both versions of the agent's workspace is entirely identical.
