List All Transactions by Customer
- From this option users are allowed to see all the transactions grouped by a customer in the Inbox view. It is termed as “View all transactions” in the live chat inbox.
- Upon clicking this button, user is redirected to Customer transaction view to trace back all the transactions to and from a customer.
Internal Discussions
During the conversation with the customer, an agent can invite the other agent to discuss internal issues.
- When a new TXN is created, the Internal Discussion icon will enable the Agents, who can access the Inbox, to chat.
- When the TXN is Ended → the Internal Discussion is NO longer available to chat, but the Agent can view the message history (View only mode)
- Agents cannot tag everyone to the internal discussion.
- To start an internal discussion:
- A new live chat TXN is created, the Internal Discussion icon will enable the Agents
- Click on [Internal discussion] icon on the top of right sidebar
- For internal discussion, invite other agents within your inbox
- When the TXN is ended, agent can view the message history.
- When an agent makes a call to a customer during a Live Chat or WhatsApp conversation (whether the chat is ongoing or ended), the system sends a message to Internal Discussion for both the Agent and Supervisor to see.
- It also updates the Customer Journey with call details after it ends.
- If the agent creates a linked support ticket during the conversation, the system also posts a message about the ticket in Internal Discussion.
Note:
If the ticket is created after the chat has ended, no message will be sent to Internal Discussion.
Customer Journey
This section displays all of a customer’s activities from their first interaction with the inbox to the present, including both calls and chats.
- When a new ticket is created from an existing transaction, the customer details from the original transaction will be automatically added to the new ticket.
- Each activity is accompanied by details such as the assigned agent who handled the chat, and its status, which can be "Waiting," "Assigning," "Assigned," "Transferring," "Ended," or “Failed.”
- When a user clicks on the activity of a specific chat, they can view more detailed information about that particular interaction.
- Users are navigated to the chat transaction (TXN) screen, where they can view the complete chat journey, including timestamps, interactions, and any relevant details.
