Measuring Response Rate in Self-Service Channels

Learn how to measure and optimize the response rate in your self-service channels using Zendesk tools.

How can I measure the response rate in my self-service channels?

Measuring the response rate is crucial for evaluating the success of your self-service channels. The response rate is the percentage of questions in your community that receive a response. Ideally, you want this rate to be 100 percent.

In Zendesk, you can sort questions in your community to see which ones don't have answers. If a question doesn’t receive a response from the community within a certain amount of time, an agent can move the question to a ticket so that the team can intervene. This ensures that every question gets an answer, maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. For more details, check out the originalZendesk article.
