AWA: End user waiting forever when the only live agent rejects

Naomi5

Hi all, 

Use case:
Let's say I have only 1 agent available, and you have set the timer for an agent to accept chat in 3minute  before it is rejected by timeout. 

Problem:
The user waits indefinitely


Question:
How to go about this problem? We would like to end the chat with the message indicating there's no agent available and the end user should try again later

Hi Mohit,

So lets say we have only two agents in a queue and the both are rejecting the chats with some rejecting reasons. This leads the end user to wait indefinitely.

So the solution I have proposed is to use chat queue's max timeout and display no available agent message.

Is there any other way to handle such use case ?
