  • First Response Time
    The time elapsed from when a conversation is assigned to an agent until they send their initial reply (regardless of how long it was unassigned).
    Example: If a conversation is assigned to an agent at 1:00 PM and they respond at 1:02 PM, the first response time is 2 minutes. 
  • Response Time: The average time it takes an agent to reply to subsequent customer messages within a conversation (regardless of how long it was unassigned).
    Example: If a conversation is assigned at 2:00 PM, the agent responds to the first message at 2:02 PM. The customer replies at 2:05 PM, and the agent responds at 2:11 PM. The average response time would be 6 minutes. 

  • Resolution Time: The total time from when a conversation is assigned to an agent until they send the final reply (regardless of how long it was unassigned).
    Example: If a conversation is assigned at 3:00 PM and resolved at 3:15 PM, the Resolution Time is 15 minutes. 

  • Wait Time
    The time between when a customer initiates a conversation and when an agent sends the first reply.
    Example: If a customer messages at 2:00 PM, the conversation is assigned at 2:15 PM, and the agent responds at 2:20 PM, the Wait Time is 20 minutes. 

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION 

The Customer Satisfaction widget shows the average CSAT rating based on all customer interactions for the day. It also provides a breakdown of the percentage of satisfactory versus unsatisfactory interactions, giving you a clear view of overall customer sentiment.

Rating (X/5): The average rating received for all positive feedback, regardless of negative feedback (regardless of how much negative feedback is received). 

Example: If three positive feedback are received (3, 4, 5) and one negative feedback is received, the rating would be 4.   

Satisfactory Interactions vs. Unsatisfactory Interactions: 

Yes %: The percentage of positive feedback compared to the total amount of feedback.  

No %: The percentage of negative feedback compared to the total amount of feedback. 

Example: If ten feedback were received, out of which six are positive, the Yes % would be 60% and the No % would be 40%.
