❓ Why isn't the configured typing time respected before sending the conversation to the bot?

❓ Why is the time configured in the classification not respected before sending the conversation to the bot?

The article explains why a conversation might be sent to the bot immediately instead of respecting the time configured after classification: it is usually because the agent manually closes the conversation with the "X".

🧩 Frequently asked question or initial context

Classifications are configured so that after a certain time (hours or minutes), the conversation is assigned to the bot. Instead of waiting the configured time, the conversation is closed immediately and sent directly to the bot.

Possible reason:

Verify that your agents do not press the X button located in the upper right corner of the conversations, as this cancels the waiting time in the classification settings.

🛠 Troubleshooting: step by step

  • Validate with your agents that when they classify, they do not click on the X in the conversation.

  • Verify the classification settings

Make sure that the classification has a waiting time assigned before the conversation is reassigned to the bot.

🧪 Possible solutions

  • Avoid using the close button after applying the classification. In order for the configured time to be respected, agents should only classify the conversation without clicking the close button.
