What are Groups

Groups in BotPenguin let you organize and manage users, chats, or team members into meaningful clusters. They act as categories that bring order and clarity to your workflows, whether it’s handling conversations, assigning roles, or structuring your support system.


Benefits of using Groups

  • User Groups: Collections of end-users segmented based on attributes (e.g., new leads, returning customers, high-priority clients) for targeted communication.

  • Team Groups: Internal clusters of teammates grouped together (e.g., Sales, Support, Marketing) to streamline chat assignment and accountability.

  • Channel-Based Groups: Organize conversations by source (e.g., WhatsApp Group, Messenger Group, Website Leads) for easier tracking.

  • Access Control: Define which groups of team members have access to which set of conversations, maintaining clarity and security.
