Live, Assigned & Archived Chat

How Chats Get Assigned
- Automatic Routing: Chats flow to agents based on skills, availability, or round-robin rules.
- Manual Assignment: Admins or managers can drag and drop chats from Unassigned into an agent’s queue.
Once a chat is in the Assigned queue, it has been handed off to a live agent—either by the system’s routing rules or manually by an Admin or Team Manager. This ensures every conversation receives timely, personalized attention.
-
Sub Status - waiting on agent/waiting on user
- This will function as a sub-status under the Assigned status.
- Its purpose is to clearly categorize chats based on whether they are pending action from the agent or from the user.
- Waiting on Agent
- Waiting on User
By introducing these two sub-statuses:
- Easily filter conversations based on responsibility
- Prioritize their workload more efficiently
- Maintain better chat currency by tracking the number of pending chats on each side
Agents will be able to:
This enhancement improves visibility, reduces ambiguity, and helps streamline chat handling.

Archived Section
