Understanding Attribution Methods in Conversion Tracking

Discover the 'First Touch' and 'Last Touch' attribution methods in Zendesk Chat conversion tracking and how they impact agent credit.

What are the attribution methods in conversion tracking?

In conversion tracking, attribution methods determine which chat and agent get credit for a conversion.

Zendesk Chat offers two methods: 'First Touch' and 'Last Touch'. 'First Touch' assigns 100% credit to the first chat and agent the customer interacts with, while 'Last Touch' gives credit to the last chat and agent before the conversion. Choosing the right method depends on your business goals and how you want to measure agent performance.
