Live Agent in Helix (Remedy) ITSM has been around since version 19.08; it’s been through a few iterations but is now available in the Smart IT interface as well as the Mid-Tier screens. Live Agent (Chat) enables users to chat directly with a support agent rather than needing to submit a ticket. (Note: this is not the same as Virtual Agent – Chatbot – although at the end of a Virtual Agent session, the user can ask to be connected to an agent via Live Agent.)
Features for the Support Agent include:
- Accepting a chat
- Transferring a chat if needed
- Responding with canned text to speed up the interaction
- Sending and receiving attachments
- Inviting other agents into the session
- And creating Incidents or Work Orders when the Chat is complete
