Chat events
Over and above the words that are exchanged during the course of an engagement with an end-user, several other events can take place that might be useful to keep track of to reference or troubleshoot in the future.
Additional visual indicators in the form of light grey boxes with text provide agents and supervisors with information about these various events and will also form part of the chat’s history.
A detailed list of these visual indicators and how they are triggered is shown below.
Event: Chat handed over from automated workflow to live agent
Visual indicator displayed: User has requested to chat with an agent [[timestamp]]
Event: Chat assigned to an agent
Visual indicator displayed: This chat has been assigned to [[AgentName]] [[Timestamp]]
Event: Chat inactivity timeout is reached either due to inactivity by the user or agent*
Visual indicator displayed: Chat inactivity timeout reached
*Note:
- If the chat times out due to agent inactivity, it will be re-assigned to another available agent. The “chat assigned to an agent” event is displayed containing the name of the newly assigned agent.
- If the chat times out due to user inactivity, the chat is automatically closed by the system based on the user inactivity timeout settings configured on your Chat Desk account (Settings -> Preferences -> Timers & Timeouts).
