Channel parameters

The table shows the main parameters common to all types of channels

Channel name

You can set an arbitrary value for the channel name. The name of the channel will be displayed in the chat card, it is necessary to understand in which communication channel the communication with the client was.

Token

The token is issued on the side of the messenger/social network

Chat weight

Chat weight unit. This parameter is required to set the load on the agent

What are chat weight and agent load?

Each agent has a specific workload to limit the maximum number of chats that an agent can work on at the same time.

Let's assume that the operator has a load of 5.

And suppose channels are added:

  • WebSite for clients with a chat weight of 1

  • WebSite for partners with a chat weight of 3 (for example, this channel implies a greater involvement of the operator in the dialogue, or a more complex processing scenario)

With this setting, a given operator will be able to simultaneously distribute either

  • 5 chats from the WebSite for clients: 5x1=5 - which is equal to the set load on the operator

  • 1 chat from the WebSite channel for partners and 2 chats from the WebSite for clients: 1x3+2x1=5 - which is equal to the set load on the operator

If 3 chats from the WebSite channel for clients have already been distributed to the operator, then the chat from WebSite for partners will no longer be able to be distributed to this operator, since 3x1 + 1x3 = 6 is more than 5, the load set for the operator
