Ensuring Accurate Agent Status Reporting in Zendesk

Ensure accurate agent status reporting in Zendesk by understanding custom status mappings and using the right dashboards.

How can I ensure accurate agent status reporting in Zendesk?

To ensure accurate reporting, consider how custom statuses are mapped to per-channel statuses. The time spent in a per-channel status includes any custom statuses mapped to it, which can affect the reported duration.

Review your custom status mappings and use the Omnichannel: Unified and custom agent state prebuilt dashboard to filter and analyze these statuses. This will help you understand the true time distribution across different statuses and channels.
