Chats Routed to Offline Departments
What happens to chats routed to departments with no online agents?
Chats routed to departments with no online agents will still be directed there, but they won't be lost. Instead, these chats will automatically create a ticket.
This ticket allows agents to follow up with the customer once they are back online, ensuring no customer inquiries are missed.
