Revealing the Top 11 AutoQA Metrics
Discover how AutoQA metrics can revolutionize your customer service operations. This guide delves into 11 key metrics that provide a deeper understanding of your support interactions, helping you spot hidden hotspots and drive meaningful improvements.
Unveiling the Power of AutoQA Metrics
As customer expectations rise, maintaining high-quality support across multiple channels becomes increasingly complex. Traditional quality assurance (QA) methods often fall short in capturing the full scope of customer interactions. Enter AutoQA, an automated approach to quality assurance that leverages advanced analytics to uncover insights that were previously out of reach.
In this guide, we explore 11 essential AutoQA metrics that have proven to be game-changers for customer experience (CX) teams. These metrics offer a new perspective on support operations, enabling you to identify and address issues with unprecedented precision.
Chapter 1: Exploring Our Top AutoQA Metrics
AutoQA Metric #1: Screenshot Requested
This metric provides insights into how agents approach troubleshooting by measuring the balance between requesting screenshots from customers and conducting internal research. It serves as a coachable metric that can significantly improve the efficiency of issue resolution.
AutoQA Metric #2: Negative Sentiment
Negative sentiment detection is crucial for identifying customer dissatisfaction in real-time. This metric focuses on agents with higher rates of negative sentiment interactions, enabling targeted coaching to enhance the quality and empathy of customer interactions.

Ticket transfers can disrupt the customer experience. This metric measures the frequency of ticket transfers between agents, evaluating the effectiveness of initial issue handling and identifying opportunities to optimize ticket routing.
AutoQA Metric #9: Email Close Rate
The final touchpoint in email interactions is critical to customer satisfaction. This metric tracks which agents successfully close email inquiries, complementing the First Contact Resolution (FCR) metric for email support.
AutoQA Metric #10: Time in Knowledge Base
Effective use of knowledge resources can bridge training gaps and enhance support quality. This metric monitors how often agents refer to the knowledge base during interactions and the duration spent accessing these resources.
