Missed chats report explained

2 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

Find out if you’re missing out on potential customers. With the missed chats report, you can check which visitors didn’t get a reply from your agents and left the chat. This report helps you both keep an eye on the numbers as well as follow up on particular cases.

What are missed chats?

A chat counts as missed if there was no reply either from an agent or a bot. The first welcome message sent automatically doesn’t count as a reply.

Transferred chats don’t count as missed even when the receiving agent doesn’t respond.
