Viewing the Automated resolutions dashboard

The Automated resolutions dashboard provides a look into how many automated
resolutions you use. The dashboard can help you determine how well your AI agents
deflect customer support requests and whether you should change your current
configurations. This information can also help you forecast your future automated
resolution needs.
To view the Automated resolutions usage dashboard


In Admin Center, click
Account in the sidebar, then select Usage > Automated resolutions.



The dashboard includes basic information about your automated resolution usage.


Overview


Allowance usage displays the percentage of automated resolutions
used in the current billing period.

Automated resolutions displays the number of automated
resolutions used in the current billing period.



Usage details displays a chart tracking the number of automated
resolutions used per day for the selected time period. Use the drop-down menus
to change the time span covered in the breakdown, as defined in Understanding how automated resolutions are
measured, and to display usage by type of automated resolution used,
or to group types together.

Show cumulative toggles on or off the aggregate of usage for the
subscription term.

The dashboard only displays data on confirmed automated resolutions.
From the dashboard, you can access the page to manage your automated resolution overage setting and
add automated resolutions to your
account.



Monitoring automated resolutions at the ticket level

Tickets include helpful indicators when an automated resolution occurs:

The Resolution type field lists Automated as the value.
The Resolution tier field shows the level of automation required to solve the
ticket. The values are Assisted escalation, Contained resolution, or Verified
resolution.
The channel group field shows the channel group associated with the resolution.
This field has a Digital value for email and messaging channels and a Voice
value for voice channels.
In the events view, a system entry notes the
date and time the automated resolution occurred.
These fields can be used when creating custom reports.

Note: Deleting a ticket with an automated resolution doesn’t
undo the consumption of an automated resolution.




Monitoring automated resolutions at the conversation level (AI agents - Advanced)

At the conversation level, automated resolutions are indicated in the Conversation Logs.
In the Conversation Logs, an automated resolution icon ( ) is added to any conversation
that consumes an automated resolution.


Additionally, you can drill into a specific conversation to see an explanation of the
automated resolution verification.
To view a conversation’s automated resolution verification details


In the main menu, select Conversation Logs.
From the list, select a conversation with the automated resolution icon
( ).
Click Details. In the Conversation Overview panel that opens
on the right, the Automated resolution section includes an
explanation of why the conversation is considered to be
verified.







Monitoring automated resolutions at the account level (AI agents - Advanced)


At the account level, automated resolutions are reported in the Reporting
dashboard. This dashboard includes automated resolutions reporting that shows
your automated resolutions usage at the account level. For details, see Analyzing advanced AI agent performance with
the reporting dashboard.





Viewing automated resolution usage banners

On AI agent pages in Admin Center, overage warning banners notify you when you’ve
used 80% of your automated resolutions, and will be updated when you’ve used 100%.
Banners will include basic information about what happens when you reach your limit
based on your automated resolution overage setting.
You can't dismiss these banners and they will remain visible until
automated resolutions are again available for your account when your billing cycle
resets or you purchase additional automated resolutions.
Overage warning banners appear on related Admin Center pages,
including:



The parent AI agents page, as well as the following child
pages:


AI agents for messaging

AI agents for email and web form



The Web Widget (Classic) page

The Resolution usage dashboard


Overage warning banners also appear on every page in the AI agents -
Advanced add-on.
If you choose to pause AI agent functionality when you
reach your automated resolution limit, notifications will appear on the admin pages
for each of the paused capabilities.
Additionally, your account owner and billing admin will receive an email notification
when you've used 80% of your automated resolutions, and again when you've used 100%.



Forecasting automated resolution usage

The Forecast tab in the Resolution usage dashboard helps you understand how your
current usage trends could impact your allowance.
Note: Forecasted values are
estimates based on past usage. Continue to monitor your usage using the
suggestions included in this article.


This section includes the following topics:

Forecasting scenarios




The Forecast tab

The Forecast tab includes the following information:


Forecast metrics are at the top of the tab.

Current average daily use shows your projected daily usage,
based on the last 7 to 30 days. The forecast uses a moving average of your
recent usage, excluding today’s usage. A minimum of 7 calendar days
of usage history is required to generate a forecast.

What you might use by renewal estimates your total projected
usage by the end of your current allowance cycle. If this number
exceeds your total allowance, the forecast will show how far over your limit
you’re projected to go.

When you could reach your limit If your projected usage
exceeds your allowance during the current cycle, the forecast displays the
estimated date your allowance may be exhausted, the number of days
until that point and a warning indicator if there is a high chance
you will exceed your limit
Forecast usage chart shows your activity over time. Actual usage is
in blue, forecasted usage is in grey, and your total allowance is a
black vertical line.






How forecasting calculations work

To forecast your automated resolution usage, metrics from across your account are
considered. In this section, we’ll list the information we look at and describe
how it’s used in the calculations displayed in the forecasting chart.


Data source: Historical usage data for the past 7–30
days.


Calculation: A moving average model determines the average
daily usage, which is projected forward to the end of the allowance cycle.
We do not include the current day's usage when calculating this
forecast rate, even if some resolutions have already been consumed today.


Zero-usage days are treated as valid data points (with value
= 0) in the forecast calculation
If there are at least 7 calendar days since first usage, we
show forecast data using that range (even if some days have zero
usage)
If there are fewer than 7 calendar days since first usage, forecast
returns “Not enough data” for forecasting (minimum 7 days required)




Allowance limit reach date: We calculate the remaining allowance
(total allowance minus cumulative usage to date) and divide it by the
forecasted daily usage rate to determine how many days are left until the
allowance is exhausted. We then add those remaining days to today’s date to
estimate when the customer will reach their allowance limit.
Forecasted allowance limit reach date calculation metrics:

Remaining Allowance = Total Allowance − Cumulative Usage
to Date.
Days to Exhaust = Remaining Allowance ÷ Forecasted Daily
Usage Rate.
Forecasted Reach Date = Current Date + Days to
Exhaust.



If the forecasted allowance reach date is:
Within the current cycle, we show the date and days until
the allowance is reached. If your account is projected to
exceed the allowance before your renewal, it’s considered
“above target”. The indicator displays an orange uptrend
arrow () and tooltip (“High chance of reaching your limit”),
along with a link to your subscription page where you can
add more
resolutions.

Falls after the current cycle ends, it isn't t shown, as it
lies outside the active cycle.
Already reached, we display the past date on which the limit
was reached. This date always falls within the current
allowance cycle.



Display mode:

Cycles ≤ 90 days show daily usage forecasts.
Cycles > 90 days show monthly usage forecasts.
We do not forecast for the current day. Forecast bars are
always displayed from next day. This is same for Daily view
and Monthly view.



Forecast updates: The chart refreshes every 4 hours to
include the latest usage.






Forecasting scenarios

If you're projected to exceed your allowance, you'll see:


Your projected total usage by the renewal date, including how many
automated resolutions you’re expected to go over your allowance.
An estimated limit reach date and the number of days remaining until
your allowance is expected to be exhausted.
A warning indicator highlighting a high likelihood of exceeding your
limit
A link to add more automates resolutions.


If you're on track to stay within your allowance, you'll see:


Your projected total usage by the renewal date. No reach date is shown
because your projected usage does not exceed your allowance.


At the start of the new allowance cycle:


Your usage resets to zero.
Your forecast recalculates automatically based on your most recent 7–30
days of activity.
