Escalate Chat to another Department
Empower your agents with the Escalate Chat feature to seamlessly involve different departments for enhanced user assistance.
How is this useful?
If agents are faced with a query from a different department, instead of forwarding the ticket manually and increasing the handling time, the agent can directly escalate the chat through the same window, so that users are put directly in touch with the correct department quickly.
Steps to escalate chat to another department:
- Click the “Escalate Chat” button in the open live chat window.
- A pop-up menu will appear. Select the department to escalate to and click confirm.
The departments can be configured in the Access Control section.
Note:
Only a department different from the agent’s current department can be selected.
The agents in the department that the chat is being transferred to will also need to be online before any chat escalation can occur.
