What does this section show you?

In the Team Performance section, you can see how reliably your team handles new and ongoing conversations. You can identify:

  • how quickly your team responds to new conversations

  • how long responses take within existing conversations

  • how active individual users are during the selected time period

These metrics help you assess the quality of your support realistically and plan capacity more effectively.

First Response Time

The First Response Time shows how much time passes between a contact’s first message and your team’s first reply.

  • calculated as a median to avoid outliers

  • ideal for seeing how quickly new conversations are picked up

Response Time

The Response Time measures how long your team typically takes to respond within an ongoing conversation.

  • calculated as a median to avoid outliers

  • shows how efficiently your team handles active conversations

Trend of Response Times

Both metrics — First Response Time and Response Time — are shown across the selected time period. This helps you understand:

  • whether your response speed is improving or declining

  • typical peak times or high-load periods

  • differences between inboxes or channels

User Overview

At the bottom, you will find an overview of all users. For each team member, you can see:

  • First response time

  • Response time

  • Conversations participated in

  • Messages sent

This makes it easy to compare activity and performance across your team.

Filter Options

You can narrow down the data by:

  • time period

  • users

  • inboxes

  • channels

This allows you to analyze specific teams, responsibilities, or channels independently.

FAQ

What does “median” mean?

The median is a type of average that ignores extreme outliers. It reflects the typical value in the middle of all measured response times, providing a much more realistic representation than a simple mean.

How can you improve response times?

Response times automatically take the opening hours defined in your inbox settings into account. Messages received outside these hours do not increase the response time. If no opening hours are defined, the inbox is assumed to be available 24/7. Automated messages — such as welcome messages or out-of-office replies — are not counted as real responses and therefore do not affect the calculation.

How are the times calculated?

Response times automatically consider the opening hours stored in your inbox settings. Messages received outside these hours do not extend the response time. Automated messages such as welcome or absence messages are not counted as actual replies and are excluded from the calculation.
