Improve Accuracy of Support - Agents Online Metric

Discover how to enhance the accuracy of the Support - Agents online metric in Zendesk.

How can I improve the accuracy of the Support - Agents online metric?

Improving the accuracy of the Support - Agents online metric involves ensuring agents sign in and out properly and considering omnichannel routing.

Remind your agents to log in and out according to their shifts to reflect their true online status. Additionally, enabling omnichannel routing can enhance accuracy by providing unified agent states across all channels. This feature updates an agent's state when they change it or go idle, helping to reflect their actual availability more accurately.
