Introduction Video Dashboard Tour: Users, Profiles, and Teams
Introduction Planning your Users, Profiles, and Teams
Before getting started, plan out how you want to create your company's org in Conversica. Even creating something as simple as an excel sheet can keep you organized and make sure that future admins can remain consistent. Here are some simple planning steps and best practices to consider before you dive in.
Now that you have planned how to set up your org, let’s walk through creating users.
Creating Users
Creating Users Introduction and Guidelines
As people come and go from your organization, it will be your responsibility as a Conversica admin to manage users. In your role, you have access to up-to-date information regarding your company’s team structure, role responsibilities as well as knowledge of employee movement.
Luckily, Conversica makes user management easy!
In this unit, you will learn about adding users. The second course of this series will dive deeper into the ongoing maintenance of your users within Conversica. Before we start, we’ll cover a number of our Guidelines to ensure successful user management.
Guidelines for Managing Users
While Conversica makes adding, editing, and deleting users easy, there are some guidelines to keep in mind when managing your users:
Creating Users Adding a User
As your organization grows and hires more employees, your role as an admin makes you responsible for creating and providing these new users access to Conversica. The quicker you add your users, the sooner they can work their leads!
This can be completed by logging into the Conversica Dashboard and following these steps: 1. From the navigation bar, click Settings Users, Profiles & Teams.
2. Navigate to Users on the left side menu and click Add.
3. Complete the user's Basic Settings by filling out the required fields, and anything additional you want to include.
4. For full descriptions of the fields and settings, see the table following these instructions titled User Field Descriptions.
To customize the user's alerts, click Alert Settings and make your selections.
5. If the new user is an Admin or Manager that will supervise a team, Team Settings will appear. You can navigate to those settings to select which teams this user should manage.
6. Click Save. The user will receive a confirmation email to confirm their user profile. The confirmation email is valid for 14 days.
Note If the user is granted the dashboard access, the confirmation email will also prompt them to create a username and password to login to your account’s Conversica dashboard. Once you have completed these steps, the new user will appear immediately in Conversica. If the user did not receive the confirmation email or couldn’t register within 14 days, you can review how to resend the new user confirmation email here. |
User Field Descriptions
Field | Description |
First Name (required) | Enter the user's first name as it appears in your CRM or integrated system. |
Last Name (required) | Enter the user's last name as it appears in your CRM or integrated system. |
Messaging Name | Enter the name of the user as you want it to appear in your Assistant's messages to leads/customers. Please note this field has a limit of 50 characters. |
Title | Enter the new user's job title here. |
Enter the email address where you want the user to receive email alerts from Conversica. | |
Phone Number | Enter the mobile number where you want the user to receive mobile (text) alerts from Conversica. |
Team | Select a Team to assign a Team for this user. Click here to refer to more information on Teams. |
Profile | When adding users, you assign them to a profile — a set of permissions and settings. Select the type of profile you want this user to have. |
Status | Pick the status you want to apply to this user Active, Inactive). |
Miscellaneous Settings
Field | Description |
Other Name / Alias | Click Yes and enter an alias if the user has a different name in your CRM or integrated system. The user's First Name and Last Name or the Other Name/Alias field must match the name of the user as it appears in your integrated system. This is required in order for rep assignment to work properly between Conversica and your integrated system. |
Dashboard Access | Click Yes if you want the user to have access to Conversica's dashboard. Their visibility in the dashboard will depend on which profile they’ve been assigned. |
Vacation Days | Click Yes to set vacation days for the user. Refer to How to Add Vacation Days for more information on this feature. |
Custom Signature | Optional: Click Yes and enter a custom signature for the user. Using a Custom Signature will change the fields in your Conversica assistant's signature whenever leads or customers assigned to this user are messaged. |
Custom Scheduling Link | Optional: Click Yes if you want to support individual calendaring options. Refer to Booking Meetings with Personalized Scheduling Links for more information on this feature. |
Proceed to the next page to watch a quick video that goes through the process of adding a user. |

Next, let's review end user credential management. |
End User Credential Management
End User Credential Management Introduction and
Guidelines
As a Conversica admin, you will be responsible for assisting new and existing users in your Conversica dashboard with logging in for the first time and helping them through any password resets that may arise.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when aiding end users with setting up and maintaining their Conversica login credentials.
End User Credential Management Password Reset and Login Assistance
As an admin, you will be called upon to assist end users with accessing the dashboard with new credentials or resetting their passwords. This lesson will walk through various password reset and login scenarios you may encounter.
Please note that users must create and reset their own passwords. Admins and managers cannot have access to user passwords.
Conversica Password Requirements: At least eight characters 1 upper case letter 1 lower case letter 1 number 1 special character |
Unable to Log In to Conversica
1. Navigate to the Conversica Dashboard login screen:
https://my.conversica.com/site/login/
2. Click Login Problems? Reset Your Password.
3. Enter your username or email and click Submit.
4. Check your email inbox for the "Conversica: Password Recovery" email and click on the Password Reset Link to reset your password.
5. Enter a new password, and click Update.
Note: If you didn't receive the "Conversica: Password Recovery" email, check your Spam folder. If the reset email isn't there, try adding notifier@conversica.com to your address book and then repeat steps 14. |
Admin Support for a User That is Having Issues with Accessing the
Dashboard
When a new user is added to Conversica, they will receive an email from Conversica to verify the user. The new user will not be able to log in to Conversica until they are verified. If you are an admin you have the ability to verify users in your organization's dashboard. The following steps are useful when a new user needs to access the dashboard, but is unable to locate the user verification email that was sent to them.
1. From the dashboard, click Settings Users, Profiles & Teams.
2. Search for the user who is having issues.
a. If they are not in the dashboard, you will need to add them and give them access to the dashboard. Continue to the following section in this lesson to learn more.
3. After locating the user, if the dashboard column says Pending, hover your cursor over their name where you should see the option to Verify. This means they have been
granted access to the dashboard but have not set up their credentials.
4. Confirm their email address is correct and then select Verify.
5. This will effectively send an email to the user to set up their credentials.
6. This email will be labele d “Welcome to Conversica”, have your rep check their email and set up their credentials.
Note: The login link within the “Welcome to Conversica” email expires after 14 days. Go through steps 14 above to send a welcome email with an updated link. |
If you are still having issues with having reps accessing the dashboard after following these steps, please contact support.
Already logged in and want to update your password?
1. Hover over your name in the top right corner of the dashboard.
2. Click Change Password.
3. Enter a new password in the Password field & Confirm Password field.
4. Click Change Password.
You will be able to log in with your new password the next time you sign in to the dashboard. Too many failed login attempts?
If you attempt to log into the dashboard with the wrong username and/or password too many times, your user account will be temporarily locked for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes you may attempt to reset your password.

Let's move on to learning how to create profiles. |
Creating Profiles
Creating Profiles Introduction and Guidelines
As an admin, your task is to manage anywhere from a few to hundreds of users, and ensuring everyone has the correct permissions is a vital task. With User Profiles, it’s easy to efficiently manage your users by adding or removing permissions for all users associated with a given profile.
Conversica comes with three unique Default User Roles to help with managing your users. Reps - can see and manage their own user settings, leads, and metrics
Managers - can see and manage the user settings, leads, and metrics of themselves and any users assigned to a Team they manage
Admins - can see and manage the user settings, leads, and metrics of all users in an account, as well as create, edit and delete users, teams, and custom profiles.
While these Default User Roles cover a lot of territory in terms of employee responsibilities, what if you have a Team Leader who needs to be able to create new users? A Technical Admin who will not need access to lead or customer information? Or a Sales Rep that is currently serving as an interim manager?
With custom Profiles, you can create unique and hybrid roles to fit any need within your organization. This removes any need for a single user swapping between multiple accounts with different permissions to work leads as well as manage other users.
In this unit, you will learn how to create Profiles in Conversica and how this will affect your users. The second course of this series will dive deeper into managing your Profiles within Conversica. Before we jump into creating and managing custom profiles, let’s take a look at some of our suggested guidelines for effective profile management.
Guidelines for Managing Profiles
While Conversica makes adding, editing, and deleting users easy, there are some guidelines to keep in mind when managing your users:
Creating Profiles Adding a Custom Profile
While it is suggested to utilize the Default User Profiles as often as possible, there are always cases that require the need for a custom profile. Your admin permissions allow you to make customizations to these default profiles so that every user has exactly the right visibility and permissions.
For example, if your company has a number of employees performing both direct sales and managing a group of reps, or if you want to provide access for lead management but not allow a junior sales rep to see the team’s reporting.
Creating custom profiles grants the flexibility to align your Conversica users functionally with the given needs of roles and permissions found at your company.
From the Conversica Dashboard, follow these steps to create a custom profile:
1. From the navigation bar, click Settings Users, Profiles & Teams.
2. Navigate to Profiles and click Add.
3. Select the default User Role that you would like to base the new profile on Rep, Manager, or Admin).
4. Name the Profile.
5. Add or Remove permissions from Lead Management, Messaging, Conversations, and Settings.
6. Click Save Changes. Your new Profile will be added immediately to your list of existing profiles and will be available for use with any new or current users.
Note: For a list of some common profiles and their associated permissions, we have created a Table of Sample Profile Permission Sets for your future use and reference. You can find this at the bottom of this article. |

Let's move on to learning how to create teams! |
Creating Teams
Creating Teams Introduction and Guidelines
Teams help you organize users in a way that works for your business. Maybe your company uses teams to work certain leads or customers and you want to mirror that structure in the Conversica Dashboard. Or perhaps you have a team lead that only manages certain reps and they only need to see their data, not everyone else's. With teams, you have the control to organize reps based on your preference so you can easily manage leads, receive alerts, and clearly report on the performance for the team(s) that matter most to you.
When considering Team management, keep in mind that only the Default Roles of Manager and Admin have built-in permissions for Teams. Reps can not add, edit or delete Teams in Conversica. The below chart highlights the differences between Default Roles:
In this unit, we will show you how to create Teams in Conversica and how Teams will help you monitor your Team’s contacts as well as your reps’ performance. The second course of this series will dive deeper into managing your Team within Conversica. Before we examine these processes, please review these guidelines for managing Teams in Conversica.
Guidelines for Managing Teams
While Conversica makes it easy to add, edit and delete Teams, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
Creating Teams Adding a Team
From the Conversica Dashboard, follow these steps to create and add users to a Team: 1. From the navigation bar, click Settings Users, Profiles & Teams.
2. Locate and click the Add button next to Teams.
3. Create a Team Name and select the name of the Assistant assigned to this Team’s leads.
4. Provide a description of the Team describing the type of leads worked as well as the Team’s role in the organization.
5. Populate the Team by selecting which Reps belong to this Team.
6. Click Assign a New Manager to choose the manager(s) to oversee this Team. 7. Click Save Team. Your new Team will be added immediately and will be available for use with any new or current users.

Next, let's review how to create and choose your default rep. |
Advanced Settings
Advanced Settings Introduction and Guidelines
An important function of being a Conversica Admin is to assign all of your contacts to the appropriate user. There’s always the chance something could be missed, contacts could be assigned to a rep that hasn’t yet been added to Conversica or the assigned rep’s user profile doesn’t have the necessary permissions to work contacts despite having them assigned in your integrated system. Even a simple misspelling or use of a nickname could lead to a disconnect between systems resulting in a contact being missed.
Advanced Settings
In the Advanced Settings of Users, Profiles & Teams, you can find your Default Rep settings. Consider your Default Rep “engagement insurance”. This user profile aids your unassigned leads by ensuring they are engaged by your Intelligent Virtual Assistant.
When you select a Default Rep, we recommend one of the following options:
Choose a single user with the current permission to work leads that will be responsible for working any unassigned leads that are submitted to Conversica, in addition to their assigned leads.
Round Robin all unassigned leads into a rotation amongst active users.
Create a generic user that is monitored by a manager.
This flexibility allows your organization to choose what’s right for you. If you change your mind due to a change in company structure or personnel, you have the ability to update your Default Rep from the Advanced Settings.
Default Rep Guidelines
Advanced Settings Creating and Choosing the Default Rep
Your role as the admin will require you to choose the best option for a default rep in your Conversica instance.
Below is a list of possible options to use as a Default Rep: Create a generic “Default Rep” profile using either a manager email or ‘group’ email as a triage for distribution amongst existing reps (i.e. info@domain.com). Use a specific existing rep who will maintain their own assigned leads along with those assigned through the Default Rep. Select the “Round Robin” option, which means that all leads that arrive unassigned will be distributed amongst active Conversica users who are able to be assigned leads. |
Editing the Default Rep
If you need to edit your Default Rep settings, follow these steps:
1. From the navigation bar, click Settings Users, Profiles & Teams.
2. Click Advanced Settings.
3. Choose your new Default Rep or *Round Robin* from the dropdown. Any user with the ability to have leads assigned to them is eligible to be the Default Rep.
4. Click Submit.
Note: The field labeled "Default Rep Messaging Name" updates the messaging name for all Conversica users and does not relate to setting only the Default Rep's messaging name. |
