Engagement First Reply Time with Bot Transfers

Learn how Engagement first reply time is calculated when a bot transfers a chat to an agent in Zendesk.

How is Engagement first reply time calculated when a bot transfers a chat to an agent?

When a bot transfers a chat, the Engagement first reply time is calculated based on the time between the visitor's first message after the transfer and the agent's first response. This differs from assignment or broadcast routing.

In more detail, the metric measures the time in seconds from when the visitor sends their first message after the bot has transferred the chat to when the agent responds to that message. This ensures that the response time is accurately captured from the point of human interaction. For more information, you can refer to theoriginal article.
