Agents can initiate or respond to callbacks to improve customer satisfaction. In Genesys Cloud, agents can schedule a callback directly from a script or during a voice interaction. In addition, agents can place, transfer, or dismiss a callback placed by a contact.

Administrators and contact center managers can use Genesys Cloud’s Schedule Callbacks view to see and cancel callbacks scheduled by agents during interactions. They can automatically schedule a callback using outbound dialing rules in a campaign. And they can allow users to schedule callbacks by placing a widget on their website.

Script designers can create instructions, called scripts, to help agents process calls. They can incorporate a schedule callback option to a script to allow contacts to request a return call when they are less busy, and they can allow Architect’s Create Callback action to select a script for use in inbound, outbound, and in-queue call flows.

In Architect, you can build a Create Callback action into an inbound, in-queue, or outbound call. If a customer does not want to wait in queue any longer, you can offer an option in the flow to allow the customer to request a callback from an agent at the earliest opportunity.

Genesys Cloud for Chrome, Genesys Cloud for Salesforce, Genesys Cloud for Zendesk, and Genesys Cloud for Firefox support callback interactions. When the integration routes a callback interaction to your queue, you can pick up the callback interaction like any other interaction. Once connected, the callback interaction appears on your interaction list until you are ready to call the customer.
