Evenly Distribute Chats Among Agents in Zendesk
How can I evenly distribute chats among my agents in Zendesk?
To evenly distribute chats among your agents, you can change the routing option to 'Assigned'. By default, Zendesk uses the 'Broadcast' routing option, which notifies all agents of incoming requests.
To switch to 'Assigned', go to the Chat dashboard, select Settings > Routing, and choose 'Assigned' in the Chat Routing section. This will route incoming requests to the online agent who has been available the longest. Don't forget to click 'Save changes' to apply the new setting.
