Agent Workspace

Enhancements

More flexibility with Automatic Messages

Now admin can configure the automatic messages based on conversation SLA.

Currently, if a skill's SLA is set to 10 minutes and the "agent non-responsive" message is set to trigger 3 minutes if the agent has not responded to the consumer in that time frame, the "agent non-responsive" message will fire after 3 minutes. 

Applicable to "agent non-responsive" and "conversation waiting in queue" auto-messages.

Enablement

Admins can configure it using Edit automatic message option in Campaign Manager for the particular auto message.

Benefits:

  • Improved SLA Compliance: The enhanced system ensures that the auto message is sent only after the SLA timeframe has elapsed, promoting better adherence to the agreed-upon response times.
  • Enhanced Consumer Satisfaction: By avoiding premature auto message triggers, consumers will experience a smoother conversation flow, reducing potential frustration caused by receiving the message too early.
  • Customizability: Administrators can adjust the auto message trigger duration according to their organization's needs, balancing responsiveness and consumer expectations.
  • Streamlined Support Processes: Aligning the auto message timing with the SLA reduces unnecessary interruptions for agents, allowing them to focus on resolving consumer queries within the defined SLA timeframe.
