From the conversation window in an active messaging session that you own, click
End Chat.
To restore your capacity and accept new messaging sessions, close the messaging session tab.

-
Alternatively, go to the Messaging Sessions list view to close one or more messaging
sessions.
-
Select Messaging Sessions from the Item Picker or find the
Messaging Sessions related list on a messaging user record.

- In the list of messaging sessions, find the ones you want to end.
-
In standard channels only, click the action menu next to a messaging session and
select End Session.

-
If you select multiple sessions, select End Sessions above
the list view.

-
Select Messaging Sessions from the Item Picker or find the
Messaging Sessions related list on a messaging user record.
Keep these considerations in mind:
- If you go offline for any reason during an active messaging session, what happens next depends on the capacity model that your business is using. If tab-based capacity is used, the session status changes to Waiting and the session is routed to an available service rep. If status-based capacity is used, the session remains active.
- If you use Status-Based Capacity, the End Session option in a list view isn’t available for a messaging session that’s in Inactive status.
- If you log out of Omni, you see a warning that any ongoing sessions will end.
- If you initiate a messaging session and the customer doesn’t respond, the session ends automatically within 24 hours in standard channels and within 48 to 54 hours in enhanced channels.
