Example for conversation channels
The icon in the bottom right corner of the conversation box indicates the channel through which the customer initiated the conversation.
The first example shows a customer who initiated the conversation from Facebook Messenger. The second example shows a a customer who initiated the interaction from WhatsApp.
To work with an assigned chat, click it on the left side of the workspace under Conversations. The queue lists every live session you have.
- A red dot indicates that a customer waits for a response. The timer indicates the elapsed time since the customer's last message.
- When the customer sends more than one message, multiple red dots appear next to their name.
The timer under the red alert dot may indicate two cases:
- If the chat is newly assigned to the agent, the timer counts down the available time during which the agent can answer the conversation.
If the agent does not answer the conversation, their status is set to Away and the conversation is reassigned to another Agent. - If the agent has answered the chat and the conversation is ongoing, the timer shows the elapsed time since the customer's first unattended message.
