How to Check Which Team Members Are Online or Offline on Android While Assigning a Chat Manually

When you assign a chat manually on the Android app, it is important to know which team members are currently available.

The app allows you to check agent availability directly inside the assignment screen. You do not need to open any separate settings page.

This guide explains how to check whether a team member is Online or Offline while assigning a chat.


Why This Is Important

Assigning a chat to an available agent helps ensure:

  • Faster response time

  • Better customer experience

  • Smooth chat distribution

If you try to assign a chat to someone who is Offline, the system may not allow the assignment.


Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Android App

Log in and open any conversation from your chat list.


Step 2: Tap on “Assign To”

Inside the chat screen, tap on the Assign To option.

This will open the Team Member Assigned dialog.


Step 3: View the Available Agents

In the Team Member Assigned dialog:

  • You will see a list of team members.

  • Each name is shown with a circular profile icon (initials or profile picture).

  • The system displays agents based on their availability.


How Availability Is Displayed

  • Only agents who are Online appear as available for manual assignment.

  • Agents who are Offline do not appear as available in the list.

This ensures that you can assign chats only to team members who are ready to handle them.


What This Means for You

While assigning a chat manually:

  • If you can see the agent in the list, they are Online.

  • If the agent is not visible as available, they are likely Offline.

This real-time filtering helps avoid incorrect assignments and improves overall team efficiency.


By checking availability during manual assignment, you ensure conversations are always routed to active and available team members.
