Business value

Improve customer experience by minimizing wait times and optimize service support by checking the availability of agents for unauthenticated chats that would otherwise be in the queue for a longer duration.

Feature details

The agent availability API that's available to use for authenticated chats to determine availability of agents in the queue is now extended to unauthenticated chats also. For example, you can use the API to determine the availability of the agents and then display the chat widget to unauthenticated chat users and enhance their customer support experience.
