Handling live agents
Human user statuses
The Agent Status tab allows you to configure the availability states that agents can have on the Robylon platform. These statuses determine whether an agent is eligible to handle chats, tickets, or calls.
Default Statuses
By default, the following statuses are available:
- Online — Agent is active and available to take queries.
- Offline — Agent is logged out or unavailable.
- Unavailable — Agent is logged in but not accepting new queries.
Adding a New Status
Click Add New Status
Open the Agent Status tab and select Add New Status.
Set Status Name
Enter a clear name for the new status (e.g., Break, In Training, On Call).
Choose a Symbol
Assign a symbol or icon to visually identify the status.
Define Availability
Select whether an agent in this status is considered available to handle queries.
Save
Save the status so it appears in the list of agent states.
Best Practices
- Keep statuses simple and descriptive (e.g., “Lunch Break” vs. just “Unavailable”).
- Use non-available statuses for internal tracking (e.g., “Training” or “Meeting”).
- Standardize across teams to avoid confusion when monitoring queues.
