Impact of Early User Exit on Chat Acceptance Rate

Find out if early user exits affect chat acceptance rates in Zendesk. Learn about using Engagement metrics for accurate calculations.

Does an end-user leaving a chat before acceptance affect the acceptance rate?

An end-user leaving a chat before it is accepted does not negatively impact the acceptance rate if you use the Engagement metrics. The acceptance rate is calculated based on engagements that are assigned and accepted by an agent.

However, if a chat is assigned to an agent and the user leaves before the agent can accept it, it might seem like it affects the acceptance rate. But with the right metrics, such as 'Accepted Assignments', this scenario is accounted for, ensuring the acceptance rate remains accurate.
