Visitor Routing

Visitor Routing

What is Visitor Routing?

  1. The process of separating and routing the visitors to specific agents with the help of specific filters and rules is called Visitor Routing. 
  2. For example, if a majority of your customers are from the United States and you want to assign two specific agents for visitors from that country, then you can set filters accordingly and assign your agents. Then, the visitors accessing your website from the United States will only be routed to the two specific agents. 
  3. Visitor routing helps you to display the only specific visitors that you and your agents want to see in the Tracking module.

Benefits of Visitor Routing:

  1. Visitor routing reduces the workload of you operators. When you set up rules to route different visitors to different sets of operators, it will eliminate the need for one operator to bear the load of all the incoming chats. This can save a lot of time and effort and also increase the efficiency of your support team
