Impact of Auto-Accept on Zendesk Acceptance Rate

Understand how Zendesk's auto-accept feature influences acceptance rates and the implications for performance metrics.

How does auto-accept affect the acceptance rate in Zendesk?

Auto-accept is designed to achieve an almost 100% acceptance rate by automatically assigning conversations to agents with available capacity. However, it's important to note that the acceptance rate metric does not include auto-accepted conversations.

This means that while auto-accept ensures efficient use of agent resources, the acceptance rate as a performance metric will not reflect these automatically accepted conversations. This distinction is crucial for understanding how auto-accept impacts overall agent performance metrics.
