Creating a Team inbox performance report provides a one stop shop for support managers to check in on how each team inbox is performing. It enables you to assess how your team handles incoming issues within the team inbox with instant access to accurate metrics and insights for data driven decisions.


Create a team inbox performance report

Go to Reports and create a new report, then select the Team inbox performance template to get started quickly.

Use the team inbox performance report template to see

  • Team assignment to first response

  • Team assignment to subsequent response

  • Team assignment to close

  • Conversations assigned

  • Conversations replied to

  • Closed conversations

  • Teammate activity

  • Comparison of Team inbox performance

Team metrics available in this template are also available in custom reports.

Bot inbox time is automatically excluded since these metrics only show time from when a conversation was assigned to a team inbox to the action (i.e. first response).

Understand the chart data

Customize the team inbox performance report template

The team inbox performance report template is fully customizable, enabling you to add more charts from the chart library, or remove charts you don't need in this report. All charts can be resized and moved around to where you want them.

Useful team inbox performance report filters

At the top of your report you'll see a Team filter, enabling quick and straightforward selection of the team inboxes you wish to evaluate. This reflects the team that was historically assigned to a conversation at the time of a particular action.

For example, "closed conversations" refers to the number of unique conversations where the selected team was assigned to the conversation at the time it was closed.

You can add additional filters on top of this to filter by other attributes, including; standard data, conversation data, people data, company data, and custom data attributes.

Use the team assigned filter in custom report charts

In addition to the Team metrics above, there is a Team assigned attribute available on some existing Conversation metrics shown below.

Choose these existing Conversation metrics and add the Team assigned filter to measure teams volume and productivity.

Conversations assigned + Team assigned

The amount of conversations that were historically assigned to a specific team

Conversations participated + Team assigned

The amount of conversation that had replies and notes created while they were assigned to a specific team
