Managing Conversation Status
Insent provides SDRs the option to engage visitors through live chat in Inbox, Slack, or MS Teams. SDRs have the option to engage with prospects through chat, share a zoom link through chat and hop on a quick call or schedule an appointment for later to best cater to your visitor’s requirements.
Insent enables agents to assign visitor chats as ‘Open’, ‘Closed’, or ‘Pending’. When an agent starts a new chat conversation with a visitor, it will be marked as ‘Open’.
When an agent realizes that the visitor request has been fulfilled, they can change the state of the conversation from Open to Closed.
When an agent closes a conversation
The SDR will see a transactional message in the same visitor conversation in Inbox informing them that the chat is marked ‘Closed’.
After the agent closes the conversation, the visitor will be shown a notification in the chat widget that the conversation has been closed.
They will be presented an option to restart the conversation through the ‘Restart Conversation’ option.
When the conversation status is marked ‘Closed’, the visitor will no longer be able to send messages to the agent.
When the visitor restarts the conversation
When a visitor restarts the conversation by clicking on the ‘Restart conversation' option at the bottom of the widget, the chat will be re-opened, and the conversation status will change from ‘Closed’ to 'Open'
After restarting the conversation, the same conversation flow will start from the beginning.
When an agent reopens a closed conversation
When an agent opens a closed conversation, the status of the conversation will change from ‘Closed’ to ‘Open’.
A transactional message is sent to the visitor informing them that the conversation has been re-opened by an agent.
The same transactional message will be shown in the conversation thread in Inbox.
