Agent settings explained

Each AI agent in HaloDesk has its own settings that control identity, language behavior, and ticket routing.

These settings apply only to the selected agent and do not affect other agents in your organization.


General agent settings

In the Settings → General tab, you can manage:

  • Agent name
    The product or service name associated with this agent.

  • Assistant name
    The name shown when the AI sends messages.

These names help users understand who they’re talking to and help your team distinguish agents internally.


Default language behavior

By default, HaloDesk automatically adapts to the customer’s language by:

  • Detecting the browser language

  • Detecting the language used in the message

The AI will reply in the language it believes is most appropriate.


Forcing a default language

You can override automatic language detection by setting a default language.

When a default language is set:

  • The AI will always reply in that language

  • This applies even if the customer writes in another language

This is useful when:

  • You support only one language

  • You want consistent replies across regions


Inbox assignment settings (agent-level)

Each agent can define who should receive tickets by default.

You can:

  • Assign all new tickets to a specific team member

  • Override the organization-wide default assignee

This is useful when different agents represent different products or teams.


Danger zone

The Danger Zone allows you to delete an agent.

Before deleting an agent, keep in mind:

  • The agent’s chat widget will stop working

  • Its Inbox and ticket history will be removed

  • This action cannot be undone
