Abandoned customer interactions are calls or messaging sessions that the customer ends
before they are answered by a service rep. Understanding abandoned customer interactions and how
they are classified can help improve reporting and service management.
A call is considered abandoned if a customer disconnects the call under specific customer
and sales rep interaction conditions. A customer interaction is considered abandoned if any of
the following conditions are met.
The customer starts a conversation. The work is assigned to a service rep, but the
customer disconnects (ends chat/ hangs up) before the service rep accepts the work.
The customer starts a conversation, but no service reps or agents are available and the
customer disconnects.
The customer starts a conversation. The work is assigned to a service rep who accepts it,
but then transfers the call to another service rep. The customer disconnects before the
second service rep accepts the call.
A service rep declines the work, and the work is rerouted to a different service rep. If
the customer disconnects before the second service rep picks up, the call is considered
abandoned.
A call isn't considered abandoned if any of the following conditions are met.
A service rep accepts the work, and the customer disconnects.
A service rep accepts the work. There are technical issues during the conversation, for
example: issues with voice streaming or network problems. The service rep or customer can’t
hear each other and the call disconnects. It's not considered an abandoned interaction
because the service rep accepted the work.
The customer chooses to leave a voicemail or opts for a callback while waiting in the
queue, and then disconnects. These scenarios are treated similarly to being answered by a
bot.
Note The abandoned voice call log is updated in an asynchronous fashion depending on when the
telephony vendor updates the voice API call operation.
You can check the number of abandoned calls in the Omni Channel Wallboard. In the
Omni Channel Wallboard include the field Agent Work
Status. Abandoned calls are shown in the Abandoned
row.
You can create comprehensive reports on abandoned calls by combining Messaging Sessions or
Voice records with Agent Work records. These reports will provide insights into when abandoned
interactions occur in relation to messaging sessions or voice interactions.
