Full-time agents are those in your core support team who will log in to your help desk every day.
Occasional agents are those who would only need to log in a few times every month, such as the CEO or your field staff. That way, people from other departments in your business like sales and marketing can log in and take care of specific customer queries from time to time, without you having to purchase an additional agent seat for a whole month.
You can add an unlimited number of Occasional Agents in your Freshdesk no matter how many full-time agents you paid for when you picked a plan.
Each occasional agent will use up a Day Pass for every day that they log into your support portal. For example, if you have one day pass and an agent logs into the help desk at 8 in the morning, the day pass will be valid until the end of the day (00.00 hrs). The EOD will be calculated based on the time zone of the occasional agent if you are on the Pro plan or above. If you are on the Growth plan, the EOD will be based on the time zone of your helpdesk.
Please note that the time remaining in 24 hours will not be carried over to the next day. And an occasional agent will not be allowed to login when there are no day passes available. An occasional agent will work the same way as a full-time agent.
Usage Historylets you keep a tab on occasional agents who use your purchased day passes by tracking the date, agent name, and email address. An admin can access it fromAdmin Tab > Account > Day Passes. You can pull up usage history for the last 90 days and it also has a filter to narrow down your usage based on agent names as well.
