The user spam feature allows an Interakt agent to mark a user as Spam if the conversations/chats with that user do not conform to the business norms. This ensures that agents can focus on the chats that are important and improve their productivity. Please note that marking a chat as spam doesn’t stop the incoming messages being sent from the spam user but it sends all the new and old chats to a separate list within the inbox among other changes.
