In the digital world, security and efficiency go hand in hand. Managing hundreds of automated interactions requires more than just smart responses; it requires Advanced Session Control. This feature ensures that your business integrity remains protected by monitoring active interactions and automatically terminating sessions that are no longer productive.


What is the "Auto-Kick" Protection?

The Auto-Kick (or Auto-Close) feature is a granular session management tool designed to prevent "hanging" or suspicious sessions from cluttering your workspace. It acts as a digital sentry, ensuring that every chat has a clear beginning and a defined end, protecting both your resources and your data integrity.

How It Works: The Idle Timer

Every interaction in Cornblue is monitored by a configurable idle timer. By default, the system is set to a 1-minute threshold.

  1. Idle Monitoring: If a customer stops responding or the chat becomes idle for the configured amount of time (e.g., 1 minute), the system triggers a "kick".
  2. Closing Wording: Before the session terminates, the bot automatically sends a predefined closing wording to the customer, ensuring a polite and professional exit.
  3. Status Update: Once the session is terminated, the system automatically updates the Report and Inbox status to "Closed".

Why Granular Session Management is Essential

  • Protects Business Integrity: By immediately terminating suspicious or inactive sessions, you reduce the window of opportunity for bot-driven spam or malicious interactions.
  • Clean Data Reporting: Your Analytical Report Summaries stay accurate because the system distinguishes between active leads and abandoned chats.
  • Resource Efficiency: Closing idle sessions frees up system resources, ensuring that your active customers receive the fastest possible response times.
  • Automated Inbox Cleanup: You don't have to manually close "dead" conversations; your inbox stays organized automatically, letting you focus only on live, high-value interactions.

Customizing Your Protection

While the default is set to 1 minute, Cornblue allows customers to configure the amount of time according to their specific business needs. Whether you want a tight 30-second window for high-traffic sales bots or a longer duration for complex support queries, the control is entirely in your hands.
