Define chat queue SLA

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) of an 8x8 Contact Center queue defines the target performance metrics of the queue. It includes the percentage of interactions processed within a specified time interval. You can set a target service level for each queue via 8x8 Configuration Manager, and periodically evaluate the service level. You can also set up an alert notification to show if the service level falls below the specified threshold.
