We have added new functionality in Language AI to automatically detect and update the language in user messages. When an end-user types a message, Language AI can detect their language and update it automatically, eliminating the need for manual selection. The selected language is stored in the backend, persists across future conversations, and is reflected in conversation logs for full visibility. This ensures consistent communication and improves the overall support experience for multilingual users.

Workforce Management Analytics enables you to monitor agent productivity and optimize workload, enhancing overall agent performance and customer support quality which can elevate key metrics such as Resolution Time and CSAT scores.

In previous releases, we introduced initial time metrics, and now we are expanding our offerings to include more comprehensive workload and performance metrics, along with additional time metrics for agents. The metrics will be available in Trends (Overall), Trends (Workload), Summary by agents and Summary by Groups on the dashboard.

  • Online Time: Total duration an agent is logged into the Helpshift Dashboard.
  • Available Time: Total duration an agent has marked their status as “Available” in the Dashboard.
  • Unique Issues Replied To: Count of unique issues where the agent sent at least one outbound message. Only the first response per issue per agent is counted based on the date of the action (aggregated daily in UTC).
  • Agent Assigned Time: Average time an issue remains assigned to an agent before it’s reassigned, rejected, or resolved (aggregated daily in UTC).
