Why Customer Satisfaction Score matters for Pylon users
CSAT is the most direct measure of whether your support team is delivering value to customers. Declining CSAT is an early warning of process failures, training gaps, or staffing shortfalls that will eventually manifest as churn if left unaddressed.
For Pylon teams, segmenting CSAT by channel, agent, topic, and account reveals where quality varies. A team might achieve excellent CSAT on Slack but poor scores on email, indicating channel-specific process issues rather than a team-wide problem.

Customer Effort Score
Customer SupportCES = Sum of Effort Ratings / Total Responses
Customer Effort Score (CES) measures how much effort a customer must expend to get their issue resolved through Pylon's support channels. It is captured via post-conversation surveys and strongly predicts customer loyalty - lower effort correlates with higher retention.
View metricAgent Productivity Score
Customer SupportAgent Productivity Score is a balanced composite metric that evaluates support agent effectiveness across multiple dimensions including conversations handled, resolution time, first-response speed, customer satisfaction, and escalation rate. It avoids over-indexing on volume by equally weighting quality indicators.
View metricFirst Response Time
Customer SupportFirst Response Time = First Agent Reply Timestamp − Conversation Created Timestamp
First Response Time (FRT) measures the elapsed time from when a customer initiates a conversation to when they receive the first human reply from a support agent across any Pylon channel. Speed of initial acknowledgement strongly influences customer perception of the entire support interaction.
View metricAverage Resolution Time
Customer SupportResolution Time = Conversation Resolved Timestamp − Conversation Created Timestamp
Resolution Time measures the total elapsed time from when a customer opens a conversation across any Pylon channel to when it is marked as resolved. It encompasses first response time, investigation, back-and-forth exchanges, and any internal waiting periods. It is a primary indicator of support efficiency.
