Monitor a web chat's performance

Use the Action Map Performance report to monitor your web chats. The following table defines the available metrics for this report:

Metric	Description
Web Actions Qualified	Number of visitors who matched a segment, activity, or outcome score that triggered the action map.
Web Actions Offered	Number of visitors to whom Genesys Predictive Engagement offered a web chat. Note: When a visitor qualifies for an action map, it does not necessarily mean that Genesys Predictive Engagement offers them a web chat immediately. For example, Genesys Predictive Engagement does not offer a web chat if the visitor matches a segment for the action map, but is not on the webpage that triggers the action. Genesys Predictive Engagement also does not offer a web chat if there are no agents available. For more information, see Progression of web actions metrics.
