Steps to Take for Abnormal Increases in Wait Time

Find out what steps to take if you notice an abnormal increase in wait time using Zendesk Chat Reports.

What should I do if I notice an abnormal increase in wait time?

If you notice an abnormal increase in wait time, it's important to investigate the cause promptly. Start by overlaying wait time data with Chat Reports to pinpoint the exact period when the increase occurred. Once identified, drill down into the data to understand what went wrong during that time.

This could involve looking at factors such as agent availability, chat volume, or technical issues. By identifying the root cause, you can take corrective actions to prevent future occurrences and maintain efficient response times.
