Herodesk’s Got Your BackSee the release

Watchers

Herodesk Plus

Stay across it, without owning it.

Watch a conversation to be notified when it changes and keep it in your Watched folder. Perfect for the cases you care about but should not be handling yourself.

The problem

You need to know, but it is not yours

A complaint from a key account, a case you escalated, a tricky return a new colleague is handling: you need to know how it goes without taking it over.

  • Manually re-opening the same conversation to check on it
  • Taking ownership just to stay informed, then blocking the queue
  • Escalated cases going quiet with nobody following up
  • Managers finding out a case went wrong days later

Why teams love it

Awareness without interference

Watching separates "I need to know about this" from "I am the one handling this": two things a shared inbox usually conflates.

Keep an eye on what matters
Follow a key-account case or an escalation and hear about every change, without becoming its owner.
Your own Watched folder
Everything you follow collects in one place, so checking on your open concerns takes one click.
Coach without taking over
A manager can watch a new teammate’s harder conversations and step in only when it is actually needed.
Set it up automatically
A rule can add watchers for you, so every conversation from a VIP account is followed by the right person from the start.

What’s inside

Follow one, or a whole category

Watchers can be added by hand when something catches your eye, or automatically when it always should.

Watch and unwatch any conversation
Follow a conversation whenever you want to stay informed, and stop following it when you no longer need to.
The Watched folder
Everything you are following sits in its own folder, separate from your assigned queue.
Add watchers in bulk
Select a batch of conversations and follow (or unfollow) all of them in one action.
Added automatically by a rule
Let the rules engine put the right watcher on a conversation as it arrives, based on tag, company or channel.
Notifications you opt into
Watch notifications only fire if you have turned them on in your profile, so following something never means noise.
Several watchers per conversation
More than one person can follow the same case, so a manager and a specialist can both stay across it.

Watchers: follow the conversations you care about

A shared inbox usually has only one idea of involvement: the person it is assigned to. Watchers add a second. Follow a conversation to be notified when it changes and to keep it in your own Watched folder, without taking ownership away from whoever is handling it. It is the natural fit for escalations, key-account complaints, and a manager keeping an eye on a newer colleague’s harder cases.

Watchers can be added one at a time, in bulk across a selection, or automatically by AI agents, so every conversation from a particular company or carrying a particular tag is followed by the right person from the moment it arrives. Notifications only fire if you have turned watch notifications on in your profile, so following something never turns into noise.

Watchers are part of Herodesk Plus and up, used by webshops, B2B companies and SaaS companies across Europe. Herodesk is built and hosted in Scandinavia and 100% GDPR compliant. See pricing for what each plan includes.
