Reply operations
Turn replies into owned work with response commitments.
Use reply flows, assignments, saved response variables, and SLA metrics to keep social conversations moving without losing ownership.
Why it matters
A reply is not done until the team knows who owns it, what happened, and whether the commitment was met.

- Assignment rules and ownership state

Make commitments visible.
SLA views and aging metrics help managers see when customer conversations need attention before they become a public miss.
Keep reusable language flexible.
