</td><td>

Enable or disable interaction creation for a non-matched user.-   Type: Boolean \(true \| false\)
-   Default value: true
-   Location: **All** &gt; **System Properties** &gt; **All Properties**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

**sn\_eaai\_csm.period\_of\_customer\_inactivity\_to\_close\_interaction**

</td><td>

Set the inactivity period \(in days\) after which an interaction is closed if no email is received from the customer.-   Type: Integer
-   Default value: 5
-   Location: **All** &gt; **System Properties** &gt; **All Properties**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

**sn\_eaai\_csm.email\_addresses**

</td><td>

Specify the default email address for creating email interactions. This can contain a comma-separated list of email addresses. Emails sent to any of these addresses generate email interactions.-   Type: String
-   Default value: customerservice@example.com

**Note:** customerservice@example.com is a sample email address.

-   Location: **All** &gt; **System Properties** &gt; **All Properties**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

**period\_for\_reminders\_to\_customers\_interaction**

</td><td>

Specify the number of days after which an automatic email reminder is sent to customers. This value determines how long the system waits after receiving the last email response from the customer before sending a reminder. Reminders are sent only on interactions that are on hold. **Note:** The value must be a positive integer. If the value is set to zero or a negative number, the system defaults to 2 days.

</td></tr><tr><td>

**sn\_eaai\_core.create\_outbound\_interaction\_per\_agent.target\_tables**

</td><td>

Specify a comma-separated list of target tables for which a new outbound interaction is created when different agents initiate outbound email drafts for the same customer. When a table is listed, a new outbound interaction is created for each outbound email initiated by different agents for the same customer. When a table isn't listed, all agent drafts are consolidated into a single WIP interaction with ownership assigned to the first sending agent.-   Type: String
-   Default value: \(empty\)
-   Location: **All** &gt; **System Properties** &gt; **All Properties**.

</td></tr><tr><td>

**sn\_eaai\_csm.email.reroute.enabled**

</td></tr><tr><td>

**sn\_eaai\_csm.period\_for\_reminders\_to\_customers\_interaction**

</td><td>

Specify the time period \(in hours\) after which a reminder email is sent to customers who haven't responded to an outbound interaction. The minimum value is 1 hour. The scheduled job for sending reminders runs every 24 hours. Only outbound interactions with at least one agent-initiated email are considered.-   Type: Integer
-   Default value: \(configurable\)
-   Location: **All** &gt; **System Properties** &gt; **All Properties**.
