Assign chat to team member

Assign the customer's chat about the broken printer to Ravi in support and add a note: 'Priority: On-site within 24 hours; customer Sam Patel, account 4125.' Confirm Ravi sees the assignment and that the chat ownership transferred.

Before assigning this ticket, make the handoff easy for Ravi: surface the problem, past troubleshooting steps taken, and the customer's availability window. Flag anything that would make Ravi hesitate to accept the assignment so I can resolve it first.

I assigned the broken printer conversation to Ravi with a 24-hour on-site priority, but he hasn't accepted or replied. I'm worried he doesn't have capacity or the context he needs. What’s the most likely reason he hasn't acknowledged and what should I say to get a clear yes or to reassign quickly?

We keep losing time when chats move between team members—tickets stall because nobody claims them or notes what was done. Is the bottleneck lack of a clear owner, insufficient context when assigning, or team overload, and what single assignment habit would reduce handoff delays and dropped tickets?
