Agent Warmup

Agent warmup is an optional configuration for messaging. If enabled, the incoming conversations assigned to an agent at the beginning of their shift will be slower and build gradually. The warm up feature will send the agent one message at a time with a defined interval between the first few incoming conversations, allowing the agent to adjust to their shift and get into the flow of their messaging workload.

Ops

Queue Backlog Management

Only pertains to brands that do not have a 24/hr contact center. Queue backlog is used when a queue is formed (generally overnight) that has conversations waiting for agents for extended periods. Queue backlog will make any conversations that have been in queue for X time (configurable) to go into the inactive state quicker (configurable, default is 5 seconds), since these conversations will have a greater likelihood of being idle/inactive. This frees up agent’s availability to take on a new active conversation and allows the queue to be cleared quicker.
