A Guide to installing and customising the timetoreply Optimiser
What is the timetoreply Optimiser?
The timetoreply Optimiser is an easy-to-install add-on to our product that helps individual team members, in customer-facing and/or sales teams, improve their email performance in real time. It empowers customer service and inbound sales agents with a set of their key email metrics displayed in their Outlook, o365 or Google Workspace mail client.
The metrics give a real-time view into the customer service or sales agent’s email performance and enables self-managed performance enhancement.
What does the timetoreply Optimiser display?
The timetoreply Optimiser shows how each person’s performance compares to the average performance of the rest of their team, creating a helpful benchmark for agents that helps drive and motivate improvements in email reply times, resolution of queries, and a range of critical metrics.

The timetoreply Optimiser displays the following within the Outlook or Gmail / Google Workspace client in four main categories, namely:
1. Emails Approaching SLA, which shows which emails are approaching the deadlines you’ve set based on customer SLAs, ensuring every email is answered and every customer or prospect receives a quick and satisfactory response.
2. Your Email Stats, which displays data insights into that user’s email productivity, including first reply time, average overall reply time, inbound messages, outbound messages, email threads marked as closed, emails awaiting response.
3. Your SLA Stats, which provides an at-a-glance view into how that user’s reply time compares to their team’s.
4. Current Actions, which allows users to mark any email as closed right from the add-on.
How to customise the timetoreply Optimiser
The information in the timetoreply Optimiser is easy to customise. Simply go to Tools > Add-on settings within the timetoreply dashboard to control what information is displayed in the timetoreply Optimiser.
In order to get data to appear in the timetoreply Optimiser, you need to have created either an SLA report or real-time alert.
If you want to use an SLA report, it needs to be for a specific team, user or shared mailbox to get the information to display.
