Engagement Report

Overview

The engagement report shows all interactions with customers in detail. The full workflow of every chat including transcripts and all survey and custom data, as well as any exchanged files and missed chats are included. The Engagement report is a "real-time" report: it updates shortly after the chat engagement is closed by the agent.

If compliance mode is enabled, transcripts and personal information will not be present in the engagement report. See the Security settings article for more information on compliance mode.
