FAQ
Do I need to create the custom object or the custom fields in Vitally?
No, once you integrate Thena with Vitally, we take care of all the object and instance creation for you.
How often are the requests synced from Thena to Vitally?
Requests are synced with Vitally in near real time when updates are made to the request (change of status/CSAT/assignee etc). However, it may take up to 10 minutes in some cases for the request to appear on Vitally.
Note : New conversations in customer or internal threads are synced only when the request metadata is updated (change of status/CSAT/assignee etc).
If I make a change in any of the fields on Vitally, will it reflect back in Thena?
No, this connector supports sync of requests from Thena to Vitally and not vice versa.
Does Thena sync requests retrospectively?
Thena's connector is designed to be forward-looking. Therefore, only the requests created after the integration has been established are synchronized with Vitally. Any requests before the integration will not be synced in Vitally.
What happens if the user who sent the message in Slack is not a user on Vitally?
If the user who sent the message in Slack is not linked to any of the Accounts or Organizations in Vitally, we follow the steps below:
- Fetch the email domain of the user - e.g., [email protected] sent a message -> Email domain is thena.ai
- Search Vitally for any Account or Organization that has a user with the same email domain of thena.ai -> e.g., You got an Account named Thena.
- Create a user in Account Thena with the name Harsh and email as [email protected]
- Send the request data to Vitally and link it to this user and Account.
What happens if the user who sent the message in Slack is not a user in Vitally and has NOT shared the email address on Slack?
If the user who sent the message in Slack is not linked to any of the accounts or organizations in Vitally, the request is not synced.
What happens if I do not have an Organization or Account in Vitally for the channel in Slack?
If the user who sent the message in Slack, which was converted to a Thena request, does not exist in Vitally, we first try to create the user in Vitally based on the above steps. However, if no Organization or Account is found, we do NOT send the request data from Thena to Vitally as it would NOT be linked to any Organization or Account.
Few of my custom fields are not appearing in Vitally?
Thena creates the traits for the custom object in Vitally at the time of integration and if you have created a new custom field post integration, it is not automatically created in Vitally. In order for this new custom field's data to be synced with Vitally, please create a trait for the custom object in Vitally via Vitally Settings -> Trait -> Custom Object trait.
Ensure that the name of the field is the same in both Thena and Vitally.
