What is Agent Status?

Agent Status is a real-time monitoring feature that helps track and manage the availability of call center agents. By setting their status to “Online,” “Offline,” or “Idle,” agents can instantly communicate their availability.

As their status changes, the system automatically reflects these updates and adjusts call routing accordingly. This ensures that inbound calls are directed only to available agents, reducing wait times and improving overall efficiency.
