Understanding Auto-Accept in Zendesk Explore

Discover how the auto-accept feature works in Zendesk Explore and its effect on agent metrics like acceptance rate and offer count.

What is the auto-accept feature in Zendesk Explore?

The auto-accept feature in Zendesk Explore allows tickets to be directly assigned to agents without them manually accepting the ticket. This can happen when a ticket is offered multiple times and eventually gets assigned to an agent who works on it.

This feature is not included in certain Explore metrics such as Agent acceptance rate, Offer count, and Accepted count. As a result, an agent's capacity might show as used even if they haven't manually accepted any chats or messages. For more information, check out the article onMetrics and attributes for agent state and activity.
