Set Talk status automatically as Away/Not Available when agent is online on Chat
AnsweredHi there
Our agents are skilled in multiple channels - Talk and Chat.
Each can handle customers on both channels.
Could you please advise is there a way to automatically set Talk status as away when an agent picks up a Chat?
And turn it back online again when the Chat has ended.
Currently, if the agent forgets to manually sets the talk as away and he/she picks up a Chat, it is rather impossible to be on the phone and conversing with someone else on chat at the same time.
Thank you!

Hi Azhar,
Thanks for posting your feedback. There is an existing post about this request here: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360029390474-Zendesk-Talk-and-Zendesk-Chat-integrate-statuses
It is something we are aware of and want to fix but have nothing to announce for it this year.
Thanks,
Ramin

Hi Azhar,
We are working on a feature that enables agents to be online in both Talk & Chat and to receive either a call or chats at once. This feature (Focus Mode) allows the agents serving on both live channels at the same time to focus on one channel at a time and so lead to increased agent productivity and better response time.
We’ll be launching a closed EAP for Focus Mode by September 30th, if you are interested to participate please fill in your information to the sign-up form. We’ll review all responses and reach out to eligible partners shortly with next steps.
Thanks,

Hello Azhar,
Thanks for the update. It's great to hear that Zendesk is working on a feature that enables agents to be online in both Talk & Chat and to receive either a call or chats at once. Do you know when this feature (Focus Mode) will be made available?
