  • 1.  WebChat: inform "position in queue" and "Estimated Wait time" by routing to a chat flow

    Posted 09-01-2020 10:34
    Hi,

    One of our customers is asking to have their clients contacting them by webchat channel, informed about the following data if no agents are available: "Position in Queue" and "Estimated Wait Time".

    Call Position in Queue  and Estimated Wait Time, are not available directly as it is only a variable available for InQueue flows and not for InboundChat Flows.

    How can we get this information?

    Tried to search on the API Explorer at the Developer site, and found nothing about "position" (trying to see if the "Postion in Queue" can be retrieved.

    Estimated Wait Time, can be consulted as found in the API Explorer:





    But how can this be consulted in the Inbound Chat flow?

    An example is welcome!

    Thanks again for your help.

    Best regards

    At current, you can only provide this in a chat flow BEFORE it transfers into the queue.  Once you use Transfer to ACD, you have no way to inject messages into the chat channel.  Now, if you were to front-end chat with a bot, it could look at this API can inject messages occasionally.  What we need is In-queue flows for Chat as suggested here:  https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLSELF-I-142

    Thanks again Robert!

    May be some day this becomes available within Inbound Chat flows on Architect.

    Hi Jorge,
    I used a custom action to do this in my chat low. I added my action for you to test. just import it under integration and action and test it there.you need the queue ID and media type for input.
    you can use Call Data Action in your flow to get the estimated wait time in seconds. you have to pass the value in send response tool before queuing the chat to the ACD queue.

    I think you can also use the observation API to get the number of interaction waiting to display the position in queue

    /api/v2/analytics/queues/observations/query

    try this
    {
    "filter": {
    "type": "and",
    "clauses": [
    {
    "type": "and",
    "predicates": [
    {
    "type": "dimension",
    "dimension": "queueId",
    "value": "your queue ID"

    }
    ]
    }
    ]

    },
    "metrics": ["oWaiting"]



    }
