Reports are useful both when you are just starting your journey with LiveChat and want to set up your account. And any time after the initial set-up, as they give you an overview of how LiveChat and your agents are performing.
Reports available on the Team, Business, and Enterprise plans
Reporting is available on the plan ‘Team’ and higher. If you are on the Starter plan and want to check out the reports before upgrading, start a chat with us.
Last 7 days report
Gives you a general idea of what is going on your license, showing metrics like the number of chats, sales, or ticket and chat satisfaction. Perfect for quick checks to see if everything is the way it should be.
Total chats report
View how many chats are coming your way on a particular day and at a particular time. It’s handy to see if your efforts to increase/decrease the number of chats are working and to estimate how many agents you need on a specific shift.
Chat engagement report
Check where your chats are coming from. Depending on your team’s process, you might want to track the number of chats started from ‘greetings.’ The higher, the better as it means your agents can talk to your targeted audience.
Greetings conversion report
Using greetings is the most effective way to get more chats. Apply filters to see how specific greetings are performing. Do tests to see if changing the greeting’s copy or trigger helps with the conversion rates.
Tags usage report
If you use tags to segment the types of queries your team handles, this report will show which topics are the most common, or which teams are the busiest.

If you have any chat surveys set up, this report will tell you what kind of answers you get in your pre-chat and post-chat surveys.

Reports available on the Business and Enterprise plans
There are an additional four reports available only on the Business and Enterprise plans.
Chat duration report
Learn how long your chats take on average and check the times for each one of your agents to make sure that they solve cases as quickly as possible, but not rush through. Agent chatting time is the time your agents spent with the customers. Chat duration time includes agent chatting time plus the time spent in queues and chatting to bots.
Response times reports
See how fast your agents answer for the first time, and in general. Customers don’t like to wait, so it’s best to keep these numbers low.

Agent activity report
See when your agents were online and if they were accepting chats. Keep track of your teammates’ statuses in real-time.
Using reports with different goals in mind
Depending on what metric you want to track, you can use a different set of reports. Some of the reports can also be used to serve different purposes. For example, you can use the chat satisfaction report to evaluate an individual agent’s work, as well as keep track of the general satisfaction of your customers.
Optimize your account
These reports are useful at any time but are especially important when you are just starting with LiveChat:
- Greetings conversion report—‘greetings’ is a feature that LiveChat can’t go without. But it needs to be set-up correctly to bring value. With this report, you can see which greetings perform best and which need some fine-tuning.
- Queued customers and queue abandonment reports—see how long your customers are willing to wait and how many opportunities you miss because your agents can’t accept more chats. Follow up on customers that left the queue.
- New tickets reports—check out the ticket sources, if you get a lot of tickets coming from the ticket form, maybe it’s time to extend your work hours.
Track LiveChat’s performance
When you added LiveChat to your site, you probably had a goal in mind. Maybe you wanted to increase sales or provide better customer support. Here are a few examples of how you can measure how LiveChat is performing:
- Tracked sales reports—see the value of sales made with LiveChat.
- Achieved goals report—check how many times LiveChat helped you achieve a pre-set business goal (e.g., a customer signs up for a demo on your site).
- Total chats and new tickets reports—learn how many opportunities LiveChat created for you to make a sale or fix your customers’ problems.
Track your team’s performance
- Chat and ticket satisfaction reports—see how your customers rate your agents. Let the best agents teach less experienced teammates.
- Ticket first response time and chat response times reports—customers don’t like to wait, so it’s important to make sure that your agents reply as soon as possible.
- Chat duration report—see if your agents take enough time to help every customer while still being productive.
- Ticket resolution time report—check if your agents take care of complicated cases and don’t make your customers wait too long.
- Solved tickets report—see how effective is your team, compare this metric between groups and agents to see if there are areas where tickets are easier/harder to solve.
