Understanding your eBanqo Messenger dashboard

Your eBanqo Messenger dashboard contains four main sections:

  1. Customer Activity
  2. Customer’s Usage of Services
  3. Messages by Service
  4. Messages by Knowledge Base

Below is an explanation of each section.

1. Customer Activity

Customer activity measures how many times customers used each service offered by your digital assistant. It counts the frequency a service is used, not the number of people using it.

For example, if a customer asks the same question five times, it will be counted as five activities.

There are two statistics on the right side:

Total Services Used

This shows the number of times customers used services provided by your chatbot or assistant. If a customer repeats the same action multiple times, each instance is counted.

Unique Services Used

This counts only the services used, not how many times they were used. For example, if ten customers use the mini-statement service fifty times, it is counted as one service.

2. Customer Usage of Services

This report measures the number of customers using the services offered by the bot within a specific timeframe.

Unlike Customer Activity, it counts the number of people using the services rather than how many times the services were used.

Two key statistics appear on the right:

Number of Customers

This represents the total number of individuals who used the service within the selected period.

Number of Chat Sessions

This represents how many chat sessions occurred between customers and either the chatbot or support team.

3. Messages by Service

This report counts the number of messages customers exchanged with your chatbot while completing an activity.

The purpose of this metric is to ensure that too many steps or messages are not required to complete a task.

Two statistics appear on the right:

Number of Customer Messages

This is the total number of messages customers exchanged on your platform, including messages with the chatbot, support agents, and responses to system messages.

Messages by Platform

This shows the total number of messages exchanged across the different platforms where your bot is active.

4. Messages by Knowledge Base

This report shows the number of customer messages that fall into different knowledge base categories.

Reports: How to view reports

Reports give you insight into platform analytics. Some reveal your agents’ activities, while others show how often your customers use the services in your chatbot.

eBanqo Messenger has six (6) broad categories of reports:

1. Messages

Messages show the total number of messages exchanged between customers, your bot, and support agents on the platform.

a. Number of Messages

This is the sum of all messages from a selected platform or across all platforms your bot is active on.

  • User messages – all messages from customers
  • Support messages – messages exchanged between customers and support agents
  • Bot messages – messages exchanged between customers and the chatbot
  • Successful push notifications – broadcast messages successfully sent
  • Pending push notifications – broadcast messages yet to be delivered
  • Failed push notifications – broadcast messages that were not delivered

b. Messages by Platform

This report shows the total messages exchanged on each platform where your chatbot is active.

2. Chat Sessions

This report lists customers who have chatted with your bot or support team.

a. Bot Sessions – customers who chatted with the chatbot.

b. Support Sessions – customers who chatted with your support team.

Both include the customer name, platform, and last chat date.

3. Customer Service

This report shows information about agent activity and performance.

It includes:

  • Agent name
  • Number of customers handled within a selected timeframe
  • Average rating
  • Login activity

4. New Customers

This report shows the number of customers interacting with you for the first time within a selected timeframe.

5. Service Usage

This report shows the services customers perform on your chatbot, the transaction status (successful or failed), the date, and the platform used.

6. Conversations

This report shows conversation patterns and peak interaction hours.

How to manage a failed response

There will be instances where customers find the answer your chatbot provided unsatisfactory. This is called a failed response. When this happens, the platform logs it so you can review it later and add it to your knowledge base or as a service.

When you add a failed response as a service, you’re essentially telling the platform to trigger one of the services offered on your bot whenever a particular phrase is typed.

Follow these steps to add a failed response to your knowledge base or as a service.

1. Go to Conversations > Failed Responses

2. Go to the failed response you want to add either to your knowledge base or to a service.

Use the arrow beside each knowledge base to add the question to a specific knowledge base section.

f. Click OK.

To add to a service

a. Select Add failed response to a service.
