QUEMSG

This help page is for Studio. This information is also available for Desktop Studio.

Four horizontal lines with a speech bubble.

Allows you to send a message to chat contacts to let them know their position in the chat queue. The Message value is displayed in the customer chat interface to waiting contacts .

If your organization uses V2 (HTML5) custom chat profiles, a waiting queue and waiting message may be configured as part of the profile. In that instance, when the contact enters the waiting queue, the waiting message will display for the first five seconds, followed by the value in the Message field. These messages alternate every five seconds for the duration of the contact's time in the waiting queue. This configuration also restricts the character count of the Message field as described later in this topic.

If a waiting queue is not configured, only the value in the Message field displays.

The queue information appears as a system message, as shown in the following image.

Dependencies

Quemsg should follow Reqagent in the script.

Input Properties

These properties define data that the action uses when executing.

Property	Description
Add Caption	Enter a short phrase that uniquely identifies this action in the script. The caption appears on the script canvas under the action icon.
Message	Displays the message that is sent to the chat contact. The default message is, "There are %q contacts ahead of you...". The "%q" is a variable that provides the number of chat contacts in queue for the skill. You can change this message as needed. There is no Studio-enforced limit to the character count for this message. However, if your organization uses V2 (HTML5) custom chat profiles and a waiting queue is configured, the message can be no longer than 168 characters. Exceeding this limit causes the end of the message to be cut off and replaced with an ellipsis ( ... ). The remainder of the message is shown in a tooltip. If a waiting queue is not configured, or if your organization uses V1 (ASPX) custom chat profiles, the character count of that field is constrained by the selected font size for when the chat interface is embedded, or by the browser width if the chat window is popped out. As a general guideline, the character limit is 47 using the regular default font; 57 using the small font; and 28 using the huge font.

Result Branch Conditions

Result branch conditions allow you to create branches in your script to handle different outcomes when an action executes.

Condition	Description
Default	Path taken unless the script meets a condition that requires it to take one of the other branches. It is also taken if the action's other branches are not defined.
Error	Path taken when the action fails to execute properly. For example, when there is an unexpected problem such as poor connectivity, syntax errors, and so on. The _ERR variable, with a single underscore character, should be populated with a condensed explanation of the problem.
