English, Spanish, and French are the default languages used in this flow, but you can edit these and add the languages that your customers are most likely to speak!
Conversation created: The flow is triggered when an incoming message is received from a customer.
Predict language: The flow passes the incoming message through an AI language detection action. This tool will analyze the content of the message and determine the language in which it is written, categorizing it as 'English', 'Spanish', or 'French'.
Conditional: The flow splits into three separate branches, one for each language category (English, Spanish, or French).
Add language tags to a conversation in Inbox: Within each of the three branches, the next flow action adds a language tag to the conversation. For example, if the message is written in Spanish, it adds a "Spanish" tag to the conversation.
Assign to agent in Inbox: The next flow action routes the conversation to the agents who have been assigned to handle conversations in that particular language.
