An abandoned interaction is an inbound phone call or a chat that enters the queue but is terminated by the customers before being accepted by an agent. An email is considered abandoned when an agent pulls emails but deletes them before opening them. An abandoned interaction may also result from a faulty IVR flow. The Queue Management tab in the Monitoring window provides statistics on the abandoned interactions in the last 30 minutes or from the beginning of the day for each queue.
