# Monitoring Metrics and Optimization

***

### 📊 Why Metrics Matter

When you monitor the right metrics:

* **You see where users drop off or succeed** inside your Flows and Automations.
* **You find opportunities for growth**, automation, or smarter routing.
* **You catch problems early** — before they impact customer satisfaction.
* **You maximize ROI** from every conversation.

✅ What you measure, you can improve.

### 🛠️ Core Metrics to Monitor

| Metric                   | Why It Matters                                                 |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **First Response Time**  | Speed matters — faster responses = higher engagement.          |
| **Flow Completion Rate** | Shows if users are reaching the end of your designed journeys. |
| **Lead Capture Rate**    | Measures how many conversations turn into captured contacts.   |
| **Fallback Rate**        | High fallback = need to expand your Knowledge Base or Flows.   |
| **Agent Handoff Rate**   | Helps balance automation vs human escalation.                  |
| **Tagging Patterns**     | Reveals trends in user questions, complaints, or requests.     |

✅ Tracking these metrics weekly drives continuous improvement.
