Customer Insights Extension for Zoho Desk

Customer Insights Extension for Zoho Desk

Building customer relationships work better when you can understand your customers better. For a greater understanding, you need access to contextual information about customers at the right moment. Customer Insights gives real-time insights about customers right next to their ticket. You can view insights for each customer like the number of tickets received, response and resolution times and their happiness rating percentage. These insights enable you to stay ahead of customer issues by tailoring your responses and offering proactive services.

  4. View the following details of the customer in the same pane.
    • Open vs. Closed - The donut chart displays the total number of open and closed tickets for the customer. 
    • Average First Response Time - It is the number of minutes (or hours) elapsed between the time a customer submits a ticket and the time an agent responds to the customer. Only the time it takes for a response after a ticket was first opened will be taken into account.
    • Average Response Time - It is the average amount of time it took for every agent response rather than for every ticket.
    • Average Resolution Time - It is the average amount of time it takes for your agents to resolve a ticket after it has been opened. The resolution time is counted from the moment the ticket is created to the moment the ticket is marked as closed.
    • Happiness Rating - This widget will display the overall customer satisfaction score as received from the customer. It also shows the percentage of each rating (positive, neutral and negative).
