Messaging inactivity

Completed


Posted Sep 26, 2022

Is it possible to build a trigger or automation around the 10 minute inactivity timer used for messaging?

I've read the linked article, and would like to add a tag to any conversations that become inactive after 10 mins but don't see any obvious options on how to do this. Are there any enterprising alternate solutions anyone can recommend?

Hi Milton, 

We might have a workaround for you. 

We are introducing new update via types in support triggers when a transcript is added to ticket comments. This happens upon a conversation ending either through idle timeout or ticket status updates to pending/ on hold/solved. If you set this condition you should be able to capture idle timeout to add tags. 

This update should probably be released in the second week of October. 

Cheers,

Mei-E

That sounds like just the thing. Would you be able to confirm when it launches and what it's listed under please?

Hello Milton,

Hi folks, 

We have rolled out capabilities over this year to address inactivity and timeouts - 

  • Triggers and Automations have new via type named Chat Transcript. You can setup Triggers where Ticket is Updated, Channel is Messaging , Update via Chat Transcript and Status is New, then add a tag. This is the feature Mei-e was referring to. 
  • Improvements in routing to keep the new messaging tickets in the queue. There would be no timeout from the queue. This feature - Messaging Activity Routing can be enabled from Omnichannel Routing settings. 
  • Agents' capacity in messaging is automatically released after 10 minutes of no end-user response or by submitting the ticket with status - Pending, On-hold or Solved. However, if you wish to shorten the window for releasing agent's capacity, you can opt into this Early Access Program

I hope this helped answer your questions.

I tried to set up such a trigger but in this case the status of a ticket is Open and not New. So such a trigger will affect other tickets that are not inactive.
