| An agent can select from six major states: - Ready. This state indicates that an agent is ready to receive inbound calls
Wrap Up. When an agent completes a call, they are put into the Wrap Up (Auto) state. This state gives the agent time to complete post-call activities if required. For information on configuring the length of time an agent is in Wrap Up (Auto) state, see Editing System Settings. An agent can manually change their state to Wrap Up (Manual) if they need additional time at the end of the call. | Note |
|---|
If the enforced disposition codes feature is enabled for your account, agents are put into a custom Wrap Up state, Logging the call, after an interaction. For information about enforced disposition codes, see Agent states and enforced disposition codes later in this page. |
Depending on your account settings, agents may or may not be able to make outbound calls while in a Wrap Up state. For information about controlling whether agents can make outbound calls while in a Wrap Up state, see Controlling features for your account. - Away. This state indicates that the agent is away for a short amount of time, for example a comfort break.
- Extended Away. This state indicates that the agent is away for an extended period of time, for example at lunch or for training sessions.
- Ready for Outbound. If an agent is in Ready for Outbound state, they cannot receive any inbound calls, but can make outbound calls.
- Log Out. An agent can use the Log Out state to terminate their session
All of the major states contain one or more minor states to choose from. The available states appear in blue, and the unavailable states appear in grey. Additional states include Busy Inbound, Busy Outbound, Busy Callback, Fault On Line, No Answer, Line Busy, Network Congestion and Call Transferred. NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center can automatically put an agent in these states at appropriate times, but the agent cannot manually select these states. You can add and remove new minor states. You can also enable and disable the standard minor states. For information on configuring and using agent states, see Configuring agent states and Changing states. |

If the enforced disposition codes feature is enabled and configured for your account, when an agent finishes handling an interaction, NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state to Logging the call. When the agent sets the disposition code for the interaction, NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state to a Ready state, or, if set, the agent's intended state. If the agent sets the disposition code while working with the interaction, NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state to a Ready state, or the agent's intended state, as soon as the interaction ends. For more information about enforced dispostion codes, see Disposition codes.
...
If the queued callback feature is enabled and configured for your account, you can configure your interaction plan to set up callbacks. Setting up a callback enables the caller to hang up their phone rather than waiting for an agent to answer their existing call. When an appropriate agent becomes available to handle the call, NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center initiates an outbound call from that agent to the caller. NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state to Busy Callback. For more information about queued callbacks, see Queued callbacks.
...
If an agent does not answer delivered call while they are in Ready state, NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state to No Answer. By default, the agent remains in No Answer state for a configurable period of time and then goes back into Ready state.
...
To override this default behavior, you can enable the inbound missed call behavior. If you enable this behavior, an agent remains in No Answer state until the agent manually changes their state. This avoids NewVoiceMedia Vonage Contact Center repeatedly delivering calls to an agent who is in Ready state but is not actually available.
