The Reporting Metric > Stop Timer Action

Overview

The Metric: Stop Timer Action is used with the Metric: Start Timer Action to gather data on how Apps are being used. When the Metric: Stop Timer Action is called with the key of a timer started by the Metric: Start Timer Action, the total time elapsed is gathered in the Reports dashboard.

This can be used to track statistics such as how long it takes customers to fill out a form in an App.

Use Cases

• Track how long a customer spends filling out each part of a data entry flow.
• Track the average time a user spends in each branch of a Voice Bot.
