Is it possible to configure the wait time information in Chat?
Environment:
Chat - Enduser page, Configuration
Resolution:
There are a few configuration settings that control the average wait time for Chat.
Wait time sampling
You can configure the estimated wait time and the average wait time based on calculations. The average wait time and estimated wait time are updated in real time. If the wait time is exceeded, a configurable message is displayed to the customer, until a new wait time can be calculated.
Message shown to customer:
You are currently number 1 in the queue. We apologize for the delay. We will assign you to an agent as soon as one is available. The average amount of time a customer has to wait is 00:003.
