Find Skill action

Dynamically referenced skills enable you to find an ACD skill based on its string name at IVR runtime. Use this action to source skill data from a data dip such as a Call Data action or a data table. Then, use that information with a Transfer to ACD action that sends the interaction to the appropriate queue.

Notes:
  • The dynamic lookup limit for a unique type is 25.
  • Each lookup is unique, so multiple lookups for the same object in the flow only count as 1.
  • The total lookup limit per flow is 100.

From the Toolbox, expand the Find category and drag a Find Skill action into the appropriate location in the task editor.

Name Description
Name field Type a distinctive name for the action. The label you enter here becomes the action’s name displayed in the task sequence.
Skill Name

Enter the skill name or an expression that locates the skill. For example, (“residential lending”). At runtime, Architect performs a search for the specified skill. If the system finds an exact match, it returns the skill value.

Note: Architect does not support the use of the plus symbol (+) in skill names.
Skill Result

When the system receives the skill value, it stores that value in the variable you specify here. You can then use the variable in other areas of the flow. 

Configure found and not found paths

Name Description
Found

This path indicates that Architect located the skill within the organization. 

Drag the appropriate action below the Found path so that it follows the route you want the interaction to take. For example, a Transfer to ACD action.

Note: The Skill Result field only populates when the flow follows the Found path.
Not Found

This path indicates that Architect did not find the matching skill. 

Drag the appropriate action below the Not Found path so that it follows the route you want the interaction to take. For example, send an automatic reply or transfer the action to the main menu.

Note: The Skill Result field does not populate when the flow follows the Not Found path.
