Status Types

Within Bridge Live Chat, your conversations can be toggled into the following statuses:

Open

The 'Resolve' Button Indicates That This Conversation is Open

This is the default status for all conversations within your chat. Open conversations include:

• Escalated conversations where a user is speaking to an agent and has yet to be resolved

• Chat conversation where the user is speaking with the virtual assistant

Resolved

The 'Reopen' Button Indicates That This Conversation Has Been Resolved

This status type is assigned when an escalated conversation has been resolved by the agent. After clicking 'Resolve', the conversation will be transferred back to the virtual assistant so that an end user can continue to ask questions.

Don't be alarmed if you see a resolved conversation status revert to "Open". This means the end user is engaging with your virtual assistant again. If the user requires another escalation in the same conversation, you will get notified.

Snoozed

Under the User's Name, the Snooze Status Will Be Noted

If an agent is waiting for a user to respond, you can 'snooze' a conversation to remove it from your primary queue or 'Mine' area if your dashboard is toggled to only show 'open' conversations. This status is helpful to only see open conversations without marking an incomplete chat as 'resolved'. Agents can snooze conversations for the following options:

• Until Next Reply

• An Hour From Now

• Until Tomorrow

• Until Next Week

• Until Next Month

• Custom

We recommend snoozing a conversation no longer than an hour from now. Past that, most users have left the chat and the conversation should be marked as 'resolved' by the agent.

Updating Conversation Status in Bulk

Agents have the capability of updating conversation statuses in bulk. To do so:

1. Hover over a conversation’s blue icon icon and select the box that appears.

2. You can individually select additional conversations or select the box with the “-” in it at the top of the list to select all conversation in view (25).

3. To select more than 25 conversations at a time, scroll down to the bottom of the list of conversations and click on “load more conversations”. Reselect the box with the “-” symbol to add the next 25 conversations.

4. Select the action you'd like to perform: Assign a label, change the conversation status, or assign the conversation.
