TaskRouter Data in Flex Insights


(warning)

Warning

For Customers building HIPAA-compliant workflows, Twilio will redact any TaskRouter Attributes that could contain PII (per definition of the Attribute field) from ingressing into Flex Historical Insights. For more information on HIPAA for Flex Insights, please review our detailed documentation.

Individual TaskRouter events are connected into a single Analytics Data Model that provides a unified look at conversations and their contexts across multiple contact centers and customer management systems. We transform and clean data to make it easy to understand and analyze.

Flex Insights provides a wide context for conversations, giving you the most insight possible. Not all data is available from Twilio out-of-the-box, as this data might include CRM customer details, customer satisfaction surveys, data from non-voice channels, or data from other call center solutions.


Naming

naming page anchor

TaskRouter's Worker is an Agent in Insights. We call people who handle conversations with customers Agents. There are a number of different names for workers in contact centers including Advisors, Agents, Associates, Customer Support Specialists, Operators, Representatives, Workers and more. We historically use Agents in documentation to make it consistent and easy to understand for the widest audience possible.

TaskRouter's Task has no direct representation in Insights. You can say that a Task is roughly one Segment of a Conversation. This may, however, differ, as Insights may split tasks into multiple Segments to properly represent transfers and other scenarios. See Datasets in Analytics Data Model and Conversation Structure for how conversations look like in Insights.

TaskRouter's Call may be directly represented as a Conversation in Insights. However multiple Calls in TaskRouter may be represented as a single Conversation to better represent the actual scenario. One of the examples is when a customer calls in and TaskRouter creates another Call to connect the customer with the Agent. This appears as two Calls in TaskRouter but as a single Conversation in Insights.


Data Available from TaskRouter

Measures based on this data will be available out-of-the-box:

  • Abandoned Conversations - the number of conversations where Agent and Customer have not talked to each other.
  • Abandonment Time - time a Customer or an Agent spends waiting on the other party before giving up.
  • Handled Conversations - the number of conversations handled by an Agent.
  • Queue Time - time a customer spends waiting in a queue before reaching an Agent.
  • Talk Time - time Agents spend talking to customers.
  • Wrap Up Time - time Agents spend after talking to customers to do after call work.

All the available measures can be sliced by the following attributes:

  • Agent

  • Customer Phone
  • Customer ZIP
  • Date and Time including Days of Week , Days of Month and similar
