Visitor Routing
What is Visitor Routing?
- The process of separating and routing the visitors on your website to specific operators with the help of specific filters and rules is called Visitor Routing.
- For example, if the majority of your customers are from the United States and you want to assign two specific operators for visitors from that country, then you can set filters accordingly and assign your operators. Then, the visitors accessing your website from the United States will only be routed to the two specific operators.
- Visitor routing helps you to display the only specific visitors that you and your operators want to see in the Tracking module.
Routing visitors to specific operators
- Navigate to Settings > Automate > Visitor Routing.
- Click the Add button on the right top corner of the page.
- Give a title for your routing rule.
- Choose the brand that you want to set up the routing rule for.
- Next, choose your Audience criteria. This can be based on website details, technology, visitor details, department, triggered status, UTM values, CRM values, campaigns, company data, user data and general conditions like number of past chats.
- Choose the routing criteria from the options. The available routing options are as follows.
- All available operators - The visitors will be routed to all available operators in the organization.
- Specific operators - You can pick specific operators to whom you want to route the specific set of visitors.
- Last attendee - Visitors will be routed to the operator who attended last time.
- CRM lead/contact owner - If the visitor is a CRM customer, visitors will be routed to the respective CRM owner of the lead/contact.
- Do not route - This option will not route the visitor to anyone.
- If you choose the Specific operators option, you will get an option to select the operators to whom you want to route this chat.
- Now, you can pick a routing rule for the operators. There are 4 rules that can be chosen.
- First available: Visitors will be routed based on the first availability of the operators.
- Least loaded: Visitors will be routed to the least loaded operator based on the online visitor count. For example, if Operator A has 10 visitors on their live rings view and the Operator B has 11 visitors, then the next visitor will be routed to Operator A.
- Route one-by-one: The visitors will be routed to available operators in the round-robin method. For example, if there are 10 operators, then the visitors will be routed from the first operator to the last available operator in an order and when the ten operators have received their first round of chats, the second round of chats will be routed and queued to all of them starting from the first operator in the same order. If an operator switches their status from available to busy, they will be removed from the order temporarily and moved as the last operator and will receive chats only when their turn comes in the queue.
- Simultaneous routing: This option will route the chats to all selected operators simultaneously.
