​This feature lets you assign an omnichannel contact to a dedicated Omnichannel agent. If this contact initiates a conversation and the dedicated agent is available, the chat is routed directly to them. Otherwise, it will be routed to any other agent based on the routing algorithm selected.
To enable this feature, you need to enable Assign new conversations to the contact manager by changing the setting under Administration -> Workspace -> Settings -> Omnichannel -> Routing or contact your workspace administrator.
