Hello,
We currently use Playlist app for automatic ticket assignment and would like to migrate to Zendesk OCR.
However, one sticking point is that in OCR, unlike Playlist, it is not possible to set schedules for each agent in which they can receive tickets.
The idea is to prevent agents from receiving tickets 30 minutes before the end of their workday even if they are still online, to avoid errors caused by forgetting to change the status, and to give them 30 minutes to finish processing the tickets they have in their queue.
I would like to suggest this product enhancement and see if there are other workarounds, such as sending notifications to agents on Zendesk at a specific time (30 minutes before the end of their shift) to remind them to go offline.
Thank you very much.
