| Considerations | Customer Agent eligibility extends beyond Service Hub, but specific channels and CRM actions require configuration. Shared credit limits can pause usage or trigger additional purchased capacity under the account billing settings. | Voice agents are in beta and require Standard or above. Skills, ticket sources, Stripe actions, and advanced analytics have plan requirements. Phone and Slack tools differ from web-chat tools. Custom workflows need configuration, permissions, and testing; source quality and refresh schedules affect answers. AI credits vary with models and actions, and phone service and voice usage need separate budgeting. |
