使用 Zendesk 为客户提供支持时,人们经常会问“创建工单后,通常需要多长时间才能得到专员回复?”
Zendesk Support 会记录工单创建和专员首次公开回复之间的时间。Zendesk Explore 会读取并以首次回复时间指标表明该值。
本文章介绍了首次回复时间的工作方式,以及如何在报告中使用它。

首次回复时间的计算方式
Zendesk 首次回复时间指标可衡量工单创建和专员首次公开评论之间的时间。
首次公开回复后,系统将按日历时间和营业时间计算首次回复时间。这两个指标都与工单数据存储在一起,以便创建报告。
无论工单来自哪个渠道,首次回复时间的计算方式基本相同。例如:
- 客户电邮创建工单。计时从工单创建时开始,到专员首次公开评论时结束。
- 专员创建工单。计时从工单创建时开始,到专员下次公开评论时结束。
- 专员接听了创建工单的电话,并解决了工单,而没有新评论。客户稍后重新开启工单,专员随后回复一条公开评论。首次回复时间在发表该评论时截止。
如果专员使用工单共用从其它帐户添加公开评论,这不会计入您帐户的首次回复时间。
消息传送和实时在线交谈首次回复时间的其他详情
首次回复时间仅根据专员回复计算。换言之,在计算首次回复时间时,不会考虑对话中的自动操作或与智能机器人相关的操作。在所有渠道中,工单创建将启动首次回复计时器。实时对话渠道也不例外。但是,由于公开回复不是实时在线交谈和消息传送工单的专员响应选项,停止计时器的操作有所不同:
-
对于消息传送工单,计时器将在专员首次通过消息传送回复对话时单击发送后停止。
-
对于已启用回复时间 SLA 的实时在线交谈工单,计时器将在专员在对话中首次发表评论后单击发送时停止。
消息传送和实时在线交谈工单还有一个额外指标:首次回复时间(秒)。此指标通常可更准确地衡量来自实时对话的工单的首次回复时间。与来自其他渠道的工单相比,实时对话往往变化更快。与标准首次回复时间指标不同,首次回复时间(秒)指标将忽略消息传送营业时间和实时在线交谈营业时间设置。
报告首次回复时间
以下各部分描述了如何使用 Zendesk 报告工具读取首次回复时间信息。
使用 Explore 报告
Explore 可从 Support 读取首次回复时间信息。报告:
- 使用 Zendesk API 从 Support 读取数据。它们不会计算日历时间和营业时间。
- 在日历时间内显示预建报告相关信息。但营业时间指标可用于您自己的报告。
请参阅适用于 Zendesk Support 的指标和属性、适用于 Zendesk 消息传送的指标和属性和适用于实时在线交谈的指标和属性。
使用外部分析工具报告
如果您未使用任何 Zendesk 报告方法,仍可以使用 Zendesk API 读取首次回复时间信息。日历时间内的首次回复时间信息将与营业时间内的首次回复时间存储在一起,并予以清楚标示。请参阅 API 指标文档。
使用旧版报告概览进行报告
如果您的服务模式包含 Zendesk Explore,旧版报告概览不可用。
报告概览可以:
- 直接从 Zendesk Support 显示首次回复时间指标
- 仅显示日历时间;不显示营业时间
- 显示所有工单的平均回复时间
请参阅使用旧版报告概览
Zendesk SLA 和首次回复时间
服务级别协议 (SLA) 是您定义的一项政策,用于指定并衡量您的支持团队向客户提供的响应和解决时间。要确定这些时间,您的 SLA 政策也可能使用首次回复时间指标。
但是,首次回复时间指标与 SLA 配合使用的方式却有所不同:
- 如果工单在创建时带有专员公开评论,则 SLA 首次回复时间目标不会运行。
- 如果工单在创建时带有私密评论,则在工单获得终端用户的首次公开评论前,SLA 首次回复时间目标不会开始计时。
此规则的一个例外是,如果请求者是低权限专员,则首次回复时间 SLA 目标从创建时开始计算,即使没有公开评论。
- SLA 首次回复时间目标在工单解决时实现,即使工单从未获得专员的公开评论。
- SLA 目标可在日历或营业时间内运行,但不能在这两种时间内同时运行。
- 营业时间 SLA 目标会在营业时间外暂停,然后在营业时间开始时重启。

In some of the tickets from our team, agents leave an internal note to let us know they are working on that ticket. How can we have this view on Explore, considering that it only looks at public replies as first message?

Hi Zendesk Team,
Is it possible to solve for the first reply time from the time the ticket was assigned to the agent up to the first public comment?
I've tried to subtract the “First Assignment” to the “First Reply Time” via custom metric, but I am not sure if I got the formula correct.

Hi 7152532747418 ,
At the moment, the native reply time metric/attributes are tied to the ticket, not to the agent who replied. If you are trying to measure the reply times on a per agent basis, you will need to explore work arounds like using tags as described here: Getting resolution times (first reply, first resolution, and full resolution) based on tags.

Hi team,
I have a query.
Our process is such that each ticket goes through 3 assignees. Currently in Explore, we only get reports on First response time and Full resolution time.
I wanted to know if there's a way through which we can get individual times of the three assignees. We are not able to track the time that is spent in each of the processes.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jon!
At this time, there's no way to adjust how first reply time is measured. The system metric will start at ticket creation and end at the first public agent comment after that. The SLA target will wait for a public end user comment to get started (if the ticket was created with a private note).
You could create separate SLA policies for phone tickets. That wouldn't change the first reply target behavior, but it would allow you to manage those tickets and agent expectations separately.
I do have some good news. Our SLA team is hard at work on enhancements that will give users more flexibility over reply time SLA targets. That could help for workflows like yours. I recommend following our Announcements page for more information.
I hope this helps!

Would there be a way to disable or mark the First Reply Time SLA as achieved when the ticket is created by an answered incoming phone/voice call from an end user? Since that initial phone conversation from the end user is marked as private/internal the First Reply Time SLA does not fire. However, First Reply Time will initiate later unexpectedly if the end user adds a public comment.
This is confusing. We are trying to measure how often our agents to initially reply to our customers within the targeted time. It is hard to trust the data if we are getting First Reply Time breaches on tickets after we have already corresponded with the customer by phone.

I'm afraid it is not possible to create a true First reply time SLA on agent-created tickets. Depending on how the ticket is created, the target will either not activate or will behave differently.
Take a look at this article for your reference: Defining SLA policies.
I've marked this conversation as product feedback for review, which means that your input will be aggregated as a part of our Voice of the Customer program that provides customer feedback to our product development teams.
I encourage you to create a new post in the General Product Feedback topic in our community to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds. Conversations with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.
Specific examples, details about impact, and how you currently handle things are helpful for our product teams to understand the full scope of the need when working on solutions.
We truly value customer feedback and your voice and votes in the forums help influence future Zendesk functionality.

Hi Gab,
Thanks for replying, I want first reply time to be shown in SLA badge for tickets created by agents. Or anything like that so agents can know they have to respond to that ticket before SLA breach. As of now Zendesk says that first reply time is not applicable for tickets created by agents. So any alternative to show first reply time in badge?

Assuming you are an administrator or have access to Zendesk Explore with the necessary permissions, here’s how you can run this report:
Once you run this report, Zendesk Explore will display the average first reply time for tickets where the submitter role is 'Agent', thereby giving you insights into the response times for tickets created by your agents.
Remember that every Zendesk setup can be slightly different based on the custom fields, tags, or roles you have. Always consider the specific configurations of your instance when building reports in Zendesk Explore.
Similar report can be found here: Explore recipe: Reporting on first reply time
I hope this helps.

Is there any way to run the first reply time for tickets created by agents?
