Alert or notification to the agent for chat support

Our standard hold time for chat support is 3 minutes, we want our agents to proactively go back to the client and inform them that their request will take some time to find a solution.

To ensure timely communication with clients, we need a feature or condition that triggers an alert or notification to the agents if they haven't responded in the chat for over 3 minutes.

Hi @sandip11,

Notifying an agent in the UI to follow up on their chat conversation isn't natively possible within support. I've found that other users are discussing similar needs here:

You can up-vote that post and add your detailed use case in the thread. Threads with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.
