Creating and adding skills
In Pega Customer Service™, a chat queue is the work queue for chat requests that are received from one or more web pages. Chat skills can be added and associated with chat queues and customer service representatives (CSRs). CSR operators can join queues that match their skills.
For example, CSR operators with billing skills can join the Billing chat queue and handle customers with specific billing requests. When the CSR with Billing skills logs in to the Interaction Portal, the CSR can join the queues with the same skills.
