A team is a shared inbox between multiple users. Each account will have a minimum of one team.
When should I configure a new team?
When users provide the same service for customers, you can group them under the same team.
For example:
If all your support team members provide the same service for customers with no specialization, you can put them under the same team.
On the other hand, if your support users have a specialization, let's say some of them is responsible for refunds, then you can have those group of users under a different team that you can name Refund Team.
What can I achieve by having teams?
Routing
Bots route conversations to teams, so for example, if the customer asks the bot to take to the refund team, the bot will route and assign the conversation to one of the refund team users.
Assignment

Conversation access permissions
Team members share the same access permissions to conversations. So you can define what conversation they can see and what conversations they can't see.
Configure team permissionsYou can specify what conversations each team can access by configuring the team access permissions.
Location-based services
If you offer services based on location, you can configure your bot to know the location of your team and route customer conversations to that team based on location.
Team shared inbox
Team members share the same inbox. As a result, they have access to all conversations in that inbox. To access a team-shared inbox, the user must click on that team name on the chat screen.

Usually, A conversation will be assigned to a team member, but teammates can check the inbox for these conversations and jump to help if that is required.
