We have specific use cases where conversations/tickets are assigned to specific members on the team based on the region where the contact is located.

We are able to successfully reassign tickets based on contact/company properties BUT are limited to just the standard conversation assignment for our inbox. It would be AMAZING to either assign conversations based on the ticket owner ([https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Assign-Ticket-Owner-to-Associated-Conversation/idi-p/269373](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Assign-Ticket-Owner-to-Associated-Conversation/idi-p/269373)) OR be able to assign owner within the workflow.

Currently the workflow automation for conversations is VERY limiting and preventing us from using automation to maximze our team.

Cosign this idea! This would be great. We schedule certain hours for our Support techs to be monitoring incoming conversations (email and chat) and so we want to assign those conversations to certain users based on the time of day they come in. Currently we can only assign to a specific user.

This is the feature that we need to handle our customer support e-mails. It is a bit disappointing that it is not available yet.

Super important for us! Without this, the HubSpot Scoring system is useless to us, as we cannot assign the incoming lead through the form submission to the correct owner based on their score.

This feature would be extremely helpful in managing our chatbot conversations.

Can you allow us to change any conversation properties via workflow?

</div>

We would love to have this feature for our contact forms coming to the inbox, so they are assigned to the country manager/contact owner.

Great idea, I can’t believe a workflow can’t be created to set the Conversation Owner.

Would love to see this. The current workflow capability for conversations is very limited!  
Currently can’t bulk unassign, can’t bulk reassign, can’t filter by assignee if the “assignee” is no longer a member of the inbox (even though conversations will still be assigned to that assignee and show up in the “all conversations” folder).

Currently the first hour of my day is unassigning tickets from support agents that are not currently working. Most of them are super good about unassigning the convos from them, however there are a few that forget. I don’t want these emails to be missed! This would help a ton:)

The Inbox tool doesn’t make sense without this feature, it’s a lot of manual work and we lose effiency

We need this function to further automate our service. It’s a lot of manual work now. This won’t work anymore in the long run. Our customer base is growing and so is our support team.

We really really need this!! We were excited to set up a very effecient workflow in hubspot for managing our customer conversations (thought with what we pay for hubspot service it would have the features we need…). Please give us this feature!!!

Yes, totally agree. We need this. Automation is a key reason we use hubspot, but if we have to go manual on key steps, it starts to lose value

My Support team workflows are severely hampered by this strange inability to edit these properties
