Inbox reports in action

Inbox reports enable you to analyze the important metrics and understand the efficiency of your team. There are several metrics you can use to understand how your team is performing and serving the customers.

In this article we will dive deeper into the following metrics:

Average first response time.
Average resolution time.

The examples below illustrate some common scenarios your team may encounter and show how these metrics are measured in each case.

Example 1

Anna is a customer support representative at Acme Corp.

Events timeline

Time	Event
0900	An inbox ticket is created.
0910	Anna accepts the ticket.
0911	Anna sends the first message to the contact.
0915	The contact sends a message.
0920	Anna sends the second message to the contact.
0930	Anna resolves the ticket.

First response time

First response time = (Time agent first replied - Time ticket created)

First response time = ( 0911 - 0900) = 11 minutes

Resolution time

Resolution time = (Time ticket resolved - Time ticket created)

Resolution time = 0930 - 0900 = 30 minutes

Example 2
