  • 1.  Agent Alerts for Chat

    Posted 11-28-2022 12:15

    Hello,

    Hopefully you can help me, I searched documentation and not finding what I want. I am setting up agent chats for a new department. Due to the nature of their work, they may have the Agent Workspace minimized while working. Is there a way to enable a pop out window or some sort of notification other than the audible option?

    Also I am curious to find a way to set an agent to away if they don't answer a chat within the allotted time limit that has been set up for "Reassign unanswered message" setting. Currently we have some departments that may only have 1 or 2 agents and if they are predisposed and do not answer chats even though they are "active", we do let the customer know that no agents are available after the Reassign unanswered message threshold is met, but nothing is preventing that customer from reentering the chat window and requesting a live agent again. If we could auto set the agent to away until they mark themselves available again we would be able to provide the customer with the unavailable messaging rather than allowing them to reattempt live chat.

    Thank you!

    Nicole

    Hi Nicole,

    Let me do some digging on the away part.

    For the first one, would the toaster/pop-up notifications shown at the start of this video work?

    The settings to disable  that (or enable as might be the case) would likely differ from browser to browser. Like in Chrome it's under Privacy and security and then Site Settings and then Notifications.

    Thanks Anthony. The toaster notifications worked great - I just had to work with my desktop folks to make a change to group policy settings.

    For the Away - I did some testing on that one too, it turns out that the account I was testing with was an Administrator and would go to "Away" if I missed the chat notification, but for standard agent accounts they were put in "Away" which works for us...

    Thanks!

    Hey Nicole,

    Fantastic on the toaster notifications being the solution here! Glad that worked out.

    Also thrilled on the natural process for away working out for agents, versus the admin experience there.
