  • Agent chat for Agent Workspace for HR Case Management enables you to ask questions and receive information through live or virtual agent chat.

    Activation
    Ensure you have activated the Agent Chat [com.glide.interaction.awa] plugin prior to using this feature. For more information on setting up chat, see Agent Workspace chat.
    HR groups
    Ensure that your HR agents are part of an HR group or subgroup. Having subgroups helps to ensure HR agents with the correct skills and knowledge pair up when an employee initiates a chat.
    For example, an employee initiates a chat requesting information about your company's benefits. Having a benefits subgroup with agents that specialize in your company's benefits ensures the employee's chat is directed to the correct agents.
    For more information about HR groups, see Manage HR Groups.
    Interaction records
    Agent chat automatically creates interaction records. When an employee initiates a chat with an HR agent, an Interaction case is automatically created.
