Difference Between Logged In and Serving Chats in Zendesk

Learn the difference between agents being 'logged in' and 'serving chats' in Zendesk to improve productivity and customer satisfaction.

What is the difference between agents being 'logged in' and 'serving chats' in Zendesk?

Being 'logged in' and 'serving chats' are two different states for agents in Zendesk. An agent can be logged in for a certain period, say 3 hours, but might only spend 2.5 hours actively serving chats. This distinction is crucial for understanding agent productivity and ensuring customer satisfaction. If agents are logged in but not serving chats, it might indicate a need for more agents to handle the chat volume effectively. For more details, you can refer to the originalZendesk article.
