Being incredibly powerful, its automated routing facility will help you to manage the customer support in a better way.

How does it work?
Whenever a visitor on your website wants to initiate a live chat session with one of your support agents, he needs to click on the ‘Chat with us’ banner. Then he will be given a pre-chat form which he needs to fill up to get started. There will be an option to select his preferred department. You can create several departments with support agents handling specific issues, for example Sales, Support, Payment & Billing. Whenever a visitor selects any of these departments, he will be directly routed there.
When a new chat request comes to a specific department, only agents listed in that group will be able to see that and one among them can accept it to initiate the chat session.
