Chat Settings & Routing

To ensure fast and accurate communication, LiveAgent assigns Chats to Agents who’ve had previous communication with chatting customers. Besides random assignment, there are also 3 other options for advanced Chat routing.

• Random Assignment – New Chats will be assigned randomly to one of the Agents available for Chat. This strategy helps you to assign the same amount of Chats to each Agent.
• Average Utilization – New Chats will be assigned to the Agent with the lowest number of running Chats to keep the same utilization of all available Agents. This strategy helps you to load balance number of concurrent Chats between all available Agents.
• Max Utilization – New Chats will be assigned to the Agent with the highest number of running chats to keep his utilization on maximum. Once the agent has no free Chat slots, a new chat request will be routed to next available Agent. This strategy helps you to maximize the load of chatting Agents and let other Agents work on offline Tickets.
• Ring-to-all – New Chats requests will notify all Agents available for Chat until one of them will pick it up.

Invite Agent to Chat

While you’re having an active Chat session with a visitor you can invite your colleague to help you, for example, with the issue you are not sure how to solve. You can invite as many Agents as you need to the Chat. (Invited Agents can directly send chat messages or write notes visible only to another Agent).
