ControlDescription
Allow agents to e-mail transcripts
  • Unchecked: Agents cannot email transcripts.
  • Checked (Default): Agents can email transcripts.
Allow agent-to-agent chats
  • Unchecked: Agents cannot use agent-to-agent feature in the console.
  • Checked (Default): Agents can use the agent-to-agent feature.
Allow agents to reject chats that are queued
  • Unchecked: Agents cannot reject chats that are queued.
  • Checked (Default): Agents can reject chats that are queued.

The Reject button is used to terminate the visitor's chat request, not to decline to join the chat. When Reject is clicked, the chat engagement is closed and removed from the queue. Once a chat is rejected, the agent may also want to block the visitor based on the reason for rejecting the chat.

If the agent does not want to join a chat, then the chat in the queue should simply be ignored; Unavailable workflow queue timeout settings will handle the chat engagement if no agent joins.

Compliance Mode

Velaro’s Compliance mode is enabled by Velaro for your team as part of your contract. When using Compliance Mode, your account will assume a higher security protocol and Velaro will no longer store your chat transcripts or visitor information. Velaro will maintain a simple record of your chat including start/end times, the agent associated with the chat, and queue wait times. If your organization requires transcripts to be stored off-site, then please refer to any of our storage Integrations.

Once Compliance mode is enabled, chat transcripts will not be stored. If an external transcript archive integration is not configured, a warning notice will display as transcript data will be lost when chat engagements are closed.
