Inbound Phone Transactions

When an agent status changes to Available they are placed on the longest waiting call in their queue. The customer’s information will be displayed if a case exists for them or they are in your system. At the end of a call the agent gets post-processing time for a final wrap-up before the call terminates.

Outbound Phone Transactions

Agents assigned to this queue can make outbound calls to external numbers or contacts. Outbound phone codes may be required to set Caller ID options, or to track the purpose of an outbound call.
