When multi-interaction routing is enabled for your account, you will notice some changes in ContactPad. For information about these changes, see NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center omni-channel solution.

What can I do with different types of interactions?

...

  • Live
    For infomation about what happens when NewVoiceMedia routes a live interaction to you, see Salesforce record display and popping in NewVoiceMediaVonage Contact Center.
  • Semi-live
    When NewVoiceMedia routes a semi-live interaction to you and if using Salesforce's Live Agent for semi-live interactions::
    • If auto-acceptance is enabled, NewVoiceMedia pops a Live Chat Transcript in Salesforce, and you are connected to the interaction.
    • If auto-acceptance is not enabled, the interaction appears in your Salesforce Omni-Channel widget. You must click Accept before NewVoiceMedia pops a Live Chat Transcript in Salesforce, and you are connected to the interaction.
    • If NewVoiceMedia routes a semi-live interaction but the Salesforce Omni-Channel widget cannot accept the interaction, you receive a message about unsuccessful interaction delivery. The interaction will disappear from ContactPad, and NewVoiceMedia will route it to another agent.
  • Non-live
    When NewVoiceMedia routes a non-live interaction to you, NewVoiceMedia pops the related case in Salesforce.

...

If the cross-media consult feature is enabled for your account, you can consult with a third party while you are handling a semi- or non-live interaction. For information about cross-media consult, see NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center omni-channel solution.

To consult with a third party about your current interaction, perform the following steps:

  1. In the interaction list in the information panel, click the interaction that you want to consult with a third party about.
  2. Click Consult or Transfer. A new dialog box appears displaying all agents.

    Note

    If you are able to transfer the interaction, a Consult|Transfer button appears above the list of agents. Click Consult.Image Removed

  3. Press Return or click Dial to connect to the selected agent or the telephone number provided.
    You hear ringing until you are connected to the target agent or telephone number, or until the consult times out.

    Note

    The timeout for consulting with another agent or telephone number is configurable in System Settings. For information about configuring the timeout, see Editing System Settings.


  4. When you are connected to the target agent or telephone number, you can see the active call on the interaction list. You can manage the call and the original interaction separately; releasing one of them does not release the other.

If the cross-media consult feature is enabled for your account, Consult|Transfer button appears above the list of agents and services. Click Transfer.Image Removed

You can transfer a non-live interaction to any agent but how soon they can handle the interaction depends on their status:

...

  • To find the agent or service you want to transfer the non-live interaction to, scroll down the list of agent and service names, using arrow keys or mouse. Press Return or click the name to select the appropriate name.
  • In the Search field, to filter the list, type part or all of the name of the agent or service you want to transfer the non-live interaction to. Use the arrow keys or mouse to scroll down the filtered list to the agent or service. Press Return or click the name to select the appropriate name.

When you have finished working with an interaction, click the interaction in the information panel and click Release. The interaction automatically goes into Wrap Up state and Wrap up appears alongside the interaction in the interaction list. The Wrap Up state ends after a configured timeout.

To finish an interaction before the timeout, click End alongside the released interaction. You can also use End to end the interaction in the event of a Fault or Unexpected state.

If you can't release your interaction, you can abandon the interaction instead. Abandoning an interaction deletes the interaction from NewVoiceMedia. Only abandon interactions if necessary, not as the default way to finish working with an interaction.

To abandon an interaction, select the interaction in the interaction list in the information panel and click the abandon (!) button. A message appears to check that you want to abandon the interaction. Click Yes to confirm.
