The router works with the following to distribute chats to the least busy two service providers:

  • pace (how many messages are going back and forth in chats and timing of chats)
  • the number of chats that a service provider is responding to
  • how recently a service provider signed into LibraryH3lp, with a preference for recently signed-in service providers
  • factors such as the institutional queues and the number of service providers with their status set to “Busy” also impacts the router.
