Getting started with the IM Dashboard

Getting started with the IM Dashboard

Dashboard - One place to monitor all your Conversations Data

A dashboard is where your customer-centric teams can see all business data in a single view. You can view all your customer conversations, discover insightful metrics, and organize outgoing messages based on customized labels. The IM dashboard includes a combination of data depicted in a variety of charts with built-in graphical views of the key CSAT indicators.

The dashboard helps support teams to understand the inflow of incoming customer queries and also evaluate your team's performance, besides providing them with instant resolutions.

How does a dashboard benefit you and your customer service teams?

The benefits of an IM dashboard include:
    •    Quickly validate your team's efficiency
    •    Keep a track of incoming and outgoing messages
    •    Valuable data/insights at your fingertips
    •    CSAT report gist
    •    Increase in CSAT% 

How to access the IM Dashboard

The dashboard can be accessed from a section on the Inbox tab > titled ‘Dashboard’. Steps to access ->
    1. Click on IM (Instant Messaging).
    2. Select Dashboard.


How to analyze your data

The dashboard helps customers to analyze data in order to improve the query response time and also make sure that agents are treating your customers right.
