Contact center

New features and functionality

  • Agent utilization can now be configured. With this feature, organizations can now control the maximum number of interactions for each type routed to an agent. At the same time, this feature introduces a setting in which you can control what interaction type can be interrupted. See more details about this new functionality in the Configure agent utilization article.
  • Pre-call rule to dial a record in Preview Mode
    • This feature allows the use of a field in the contact list, a phone number, or a phone type as a condition to dial a record in Preview mode vs. the existing mode of the campaign dialing that record.preview mode
  • Caller ID (ANI) Enhancement
    • Users previously had the ability to pulse out Caller ID digits and also text (name). This enhancement separates these fields so that a record can set the Phone Number in the ANI and the campaign can set the Name. This allows different phone numbers to be used while broadcasting the same company name.caller id
