Available metrics
- Response Time
- Conversation Volume
- Agent Performance
- Resolution Time
First response time: The average time between a conversation arriving as
OPEN and the first agent reply being sent.This is the primary speed metric for the Inbox. A low first response time indicates that conversations are being picked up quickly. A high first response time may indicate understaffing, routing inefficiency, or agents being overloaded with concurrent conversations.Monitor this metric alongside conversation volume — a rising response time during a high-volume period is expected, but a consistently high response time during normal volume suggests a structural issue.Best practices
- Track first response time as your primary health metric. It is the metric most directly in your team’s control and most directly experienced by the customer.
- Compare volume to resolution time. If volume increases and resolution time holds steady, your team is scaling well. If resolution time rises with volume, capacity may need adjustment.
- Review agent performance in aggregate, not in isolation. Individual message counts vary based on conversation complexity. Look for meaningful outliers rather than minor differences.
- Account for campaign sends when reviewing volume data. Spikes in inbound conversations shortly after a broadcast are expected — do not interpret them as anomalies.
