Hi Angelo,
Thanks for the clarification. We understand the asynchronous nature of web messaging. We will try to use "No Input Maximum Retries Exceeded Handling" setting to minimize the impacts as much as we can.
Once again, thank you so much for your quick responses.

Hi @Velmani Natarajan indeed async Web Messaging model is different from synchronous Web Chat: the idea is that Agents can still reply while End-Users are offline, so that next time End-Users is back online, they can read the messages from the Brand and eventually reply. Once End-Users are back online, that red alert would disappear from Agent's transcript (confirming message was delivered).
Having said that, a couple of additional comments:
- Trying to detect browser/tab closing is not very reliable.
- We do offer a button in Messenger that allows End-User to explicitly "Clear" their conversation if they are done or simply want to remove conversation from a shared device: this would remove conversation from Queue. You can try to add customization on your website to execute the same "Clear" command based on business logic on the web page.
- There is upcoming Idea to improve detection of "stale" conversations that might be interesting to follow > https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DIG-I-1056

We recently migrated to Web Messaging from Web Chat.
When a web message is waiting in the queue, the interaction does not get disconnected if the member closes the browser and walks away from the chat. It continues to remain in the queue until an agent answers the conversation.
When an agent picks up the interaction and tries to reply back, the agent sees a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside ( Error in Delivery). Below is the screenshot.
Can the dropout of the member be detected when they close the browser and disconnect the interaction waiting in the queue automatically?
