Teammates play a crucial part in every conversation and ticket handled for your customers. Intercom offers a wide range of attributes that you can filter, segment, and view by when creating charts in custom reports to help you better understand teammate participation and its impact on the overall customer experience.
Use this article to understand and effectively utilize the various teammate attributes and how they can be used to filter charts for your specific reporting use case.
Report level teammate filters
Report level filters allow for the quick application of the same filter across all charts in a report, streamlining the analysis process and ensuring consistency in data evaluation.
There are 4 different teammate filters that can be used at the report level:
Filter Name | Definition |
Teammate
*Recommended for most use cases
| Teammate is a dynamic filter that adjusts filtering criteria across all charts based on predefined teammate attributes within each metric.
See this article for more details about which filters are used for each metric when this option is selected.
|
Teammate currently assigned | Filter conversations based on the teammate currently assigned to them. |
Teammate replied to | A teammate who has provided a reply to the conversation.
Note: this will include conversations/tickets if the selected teammate has replied at any point of the conversation. |
Teammate rated | This filters by the rated teammate involved in the conversation.
Available on the Conversation Rating dataset. |
Last teammate rated | This filters by the most recently rated teammate involved in the conversation.
Only available on the Conversation dataset. |
In cases where there's no matching data for the applied filter, the charts will display a "No Data" state.
Chart level teammate filters
Teammate filters can be categorized into four main types, each serving a unique purpose.
Teammates currently assigned: This option identifies teammates currently assigned to ongoing conversations or tickets. They are used for tracking real-time workloads and identifying who is handling customer interactions at any given moment.
Teammates who performed an action: This category tracks actions historically taken by teammates within conversations, such as replying, writing a note, assigning a conversation to another teammate or closing conversations. These filters are valuable for analyzing historical participation and assessing operational efficiency.
Teammates the action was performed on: These filters focus on teammates who are recipients of specific actions, like being mentioned in a conversation, or having conversations assigned to them or being rated by a customer. They offer insights into teammate involvement and the dynamics of collaborative processes.
Teammates assigned at the time of an action: This category identifies teammates assigned to a conversation when a significant action occurred. These filters are key in understanding accountability and responsibility during critical customer service moments.
Chart level teammate filters can only be used in custom reports on the Advanced or Expert plan.
