Overview
Use the roles of Assignees and Participants to effectively manage incoming messages and make sure all student inquiries are answered.
Assignees and participants are internal users of your organization that communicate with students within Conversations. Students are not considered assignees or participants.
Assignees:
There can only be one assignee per conversation.
Assignees are not automatically added to a conversation unless you create an automation in Conversation Rules.

Participants:
There can be multiple participants per conversation.
If you create a new conversation, you are automatically added as the first participant and will continue to receive notifications as long as you are a participant.
