Visitor queue

In contact centers, a queue is where Visitors virtually wait to interact with an Agent.

You have the option to activate the queue for your visitors, which can be applied to all interactions including chats, virtual and telephony calls.

  • By enabling this feature, you can ensure that visitors are informed about the wait time, helping them decide whether to stay and wait or try interacting with an Agent later to avoid frustration.
  • Utilize this waiting period as an opportunity to engage visitors with promotions or interactions, potentially increasing conversion rates.

The queue system is designed to adapt based on the Agents' recent behavior in the last 10 chats. Visitors will see an estimated wait time in minutes, in your brand color, with a maximum of 30 minutes displayed:

Chat started, show estimated wait time

In order to further reduce risk of Visitor churn and keep them engaged, estimated waiting time less than 1 minute will show like this:

How to enable this feature?

If you want to enable this feature for your company, please contact us at support@giosg.com.

How it Works:

  • Agents need to use Agent Hub interface.
  • Currently this feature can only be activated on a company level, meaning all rooms will either use the queue or not.
  • The estimated wait time is calculated by looking at the median response time of your Agents based on the speed of accepting their last 10 sessions. It is important to remember that accepting a chat is not the same as sending a message to the Visitor. 
  • The median response time is calculated on room and not individual Agent level.
