Exploring Talk analytics

Reporting on Talk enables you to visualize how your agents are performing across metrics like conversations opened and closed, response time, ratings and feedback, conversations per agent, and so on.

Each report you create can then be pinned to a Talk analytics dashboard to provide an overview of what is (and isn’t) working well, and see trends over time.
