How to Monitor Other Agents’ Chat

Comm100 Live Chat allows admins to monitor the ongoing chats of other agents in real-time. From the Agent Console, admins can either monitor an ongoing chat manually or set their preferences to monitor all ongoing chats automatically.

Note: Agents must have corresponding permissions (Monitor All Chats or Monitor My Departments’ Chats) to monitor other agents’ chats. Agents’ permission can be configured from your Control Panel > Global Settings > People > Agents. To learn more about managing agent permissions, see this article.

Monitor an Ongoing Chat Manually

On the Comm100 Agent Console, the Visitors tab shows all the visitors currently on your websites, where you can view visitors’ detailed information and track their activities. For visitors in a chat, you can click Monitor to view the ongoing conversation.

The chat being monitored appears in the ongoing chat list in the Live Chat tab. When monitoring a chat, you can view the chat messages between the visitor and the agent in real-time. You can also join or leave the chat anytime you want.LC tab0.png
