Chat handling time metric excluding time after ticket submission

Currently, conversation datasets/reports measure handling time from the start of the conversation until closure. This includes time that occurs after a ticket is created, which makes it difficult to measure the true chat handling time for our frontline support.

It would be helpful to have a new metric that measures chat handling time only until ticket submission, excluding any time spent after the ticket is created.

This would allow teams to:

  • Measure the actual time spent handling the chat conversation.
  • Compare chat handling performance without ticket processing time.
  • Build clearer SLAs and reporting for chat vs ticket workflows.
