Managing Availability Status in Zendesk Talk
How can I manage my availability status in Zendesk Talk?
To manage your availability status in Zendesk Talk, you need to manually set yourself as offline or away when you're not working. This is important because Talk does not automatically change your status if your screen is off or your computer goes to sleep, which might cause you to miss calls. If you forget to change your status, an admin can update it for you. Remember, each missed call means the customer waits 30 seconds before being rerouted to another agent.
