Chat to Agent Restriction by Deparment
When a specific department has been selected when starting a chat, is it possible to alert only the agents under that department?
Also, not to allow other agents see the conversation of other agents unless that account is admin.

Hi Noel,
At the moment, all agents can view and answer chats without restrictions or approval from an admin.
We have taken note of your suggestion and will post updates once the feature has been approved and implemented.
This is how the department function works for tawk.to chat:
1. Chats can be assigned to departments. All agents, including those not assigned to the selected department, can see the incoming chats. However, only those who are assigned to the department will get a notification.
2. This makes it easy for one agent to take over another agent’s chat — especially if the chat is transferred from one department to another. Also, your agents aren't wasting time trying to answer questions they don't know the answer to or giving the wrong answer because it's not in their area of expertise.
3. When a chat is assigned to a department, the agents outside…

Hi Rajnish,
This is Elle from tawk.to. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your ideas here.
1. Generally, any link sent or displayed in the chat will open in a new tab — not a new window. Knowledge Base articles accessed in the chat can be set to open in a new tab or within the widget. However, we do not have settings in the Dashboard to configure the way any other links open in the chat except for the separate list items for readability.
2. We do not currently have an option to remove the pop-out widget option from the chat menu. Our Widget Behavior settings including Visibility, Feature and On-click behavior settings, can be found in the Dashboard.
We have taken note of your suggestion and will post updates once the feature has been approved and implemented.

Exclusive chat with a single operator
Today, when an agent replies, another agent sees the same chat and can overlap by responding by mistake. The chat between the visitor and the first operator who responds should be made exclusive, so that other operators do not intrude.

Hi,
This is Elle from tawk.to. Thank you for reaching out.
I recommend activating your Chat Rescuer.
This trigger is used to auto-respond to messages if agents don't answer the chat in time. You can create a message asking for their contact details. The trigger can be set for a delay ranging from 10 seconds up to 1 hour.
For example: If no agents respond to an incoming chat for about 20 seconds, the Chat Rescuer Trigger can be set to spring into action with a message like this - "Thanks for your patience. We are currently unavailable at the moment. Please leave your name and email, and we will get back to you ASAP."

In Historical Analytics - Just show Messages Count also

Can we just add a Messages count also in this Chart? https://prnt.sc/6uli3i4ivwWe
It is pretty easy as data is already maintained by the TAWK.
This improvement makes it very powerful and quick to analyze the working.

A queue could be nice, because if you have many people on the livechat, and only are one agent online, then a queue could be good to have. For example, when 5 users write to me, at the same time, I can't answer them all at the time. So a queue system could be very good! Exemple: You are number 6 in the queue. Or your own custom message.

Set up different times for different agents
It would be great to have time zone shifts for different agents. eg one agent can set it up for Monday to Friday 9-5 and another set it up for nights and weekends. That way they only get notifications during their work hours.

This is a great idea! Currently, we have a widget scheduler. However, we do not have an agent scheduler.

For now, you can allow each agent to use the settings in their Accept Chats option to manually activate or deactive the feature based on their shifts.

Post-Chat option
Seriously, how difficult can it be to generate a post-chat message or page? There are hundreds of requests for such an option. It would be GREAT to wrap up a chat by providing a post-chat page where we could produce a survey or insert html such as a TIP ME link. I love your product but having no ability to provide a closing to a chat should exist.

We currently don't have a CSAT survey or a Post-Chat option after the chat session.
What we have is a Sentiment feature that shows how many visitors have given feedback to the chat agent by clicking the thumbs up or thumbs down ratings in the chat widget.
If you wish to check the agent's statistics for User Satisfaction, do the following:
1. Select the Reporting section of the dashboard in the left sidebar
2. Click the filter icon
3. Select the agent
4. Select the option to download the report as a CSV file.
The report will show you how many Negative, Positive, or Neutral sentiments each agent receives from their chats.
