Excerpt
When Vonage Contact Center routes a call through a Callback applet, the applet sets up an outbound call to the caller. Vonage Contact Center initiates the callback when a suitable agent becomes available.

...

FieldOptionsDescription
Interaction Plan

List of interaction plans

The interaction plan that Vonage Contact Center routes the pending outbound call through. Choose the interaction plan.

If you select Return to previous queue, Vonage Contact Center routes the pending outbound call through the last Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) applet that the original voice call entered.

AppletList of available applets on the selected interaction plan

Optional. The applet in the chosen interaction plan that Vonage Contact Center routes the pending outbound call through. Choose the required applet.

If you select an applet, the call does not need to wait in the original ACD applet.

Note
titleNotes

The pending outbound call only works with an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) applet in skills based routing mode. Either the previously entered ACD, or the subsequent interaction plan—if specified in Callback Initial Applet—must result in routing to such an applet.

Callback Numbers

The Callback Numbers section of the Callback applet contains either one (Data Source) or two (Number to Dial and Number to Present) fields:

FieldOptionsDescription
Number to Dial or Data Source (only one of these fields will appear)Text

The number that Vonage Contact Center will make the callback to. You can use a combination of text and data sources to define the number to dial.

Use the following format to specify a placeholder for a data source:

$(DataSource)

Note

You can include one or more data sources. The data sources are placeholders for values collected during the call. Vonage Contact Center replaces the data sources with values before initiating the callback. You must not include any spaces in the field.

For more information about configuring the field, see Setting up queued callbacks.

For example, "0207$(CallbackNumber)" or "$(AreaCode)$(CallbackNumber)".

Number to Present (if available)Text

The number that Vonage Contact Center will present to the recipient of the outbound (callback) call. If available, you can use a combination of text and data sources to define the number to present.

Use the following format to specify a placeholder for a data source:

$(DataSource)

Note

You can include one or more data sources in Number to Present. The data sources are placeholders for values collected during the call. Vonage Contact Center replaces the data sources with values before initiating the callback. You must not include any spaces in the Number to Present field.

For more information about configuring Number to Present, see Setting up queued callbacks.

For example, "0207$(PresentedNumber)" or "$(AreaCode)$(PresentedNumber)".

...

FieldOptionsDescription
Next AppletList of available applets

Optional. The applet that Vonage Contact Center routes the original voice call to after the applet sets up the callback.

Note

If you specify a next applet, subsequent applets may not complete by the time that Vonage Contact Center initiates the callback. In this situation, the caller might still be connected to the original call when Vonage Contact Center attempts the callback. The callback will fail and Vonage Contact Center will not attempt a later callback. For this reason, we recommend that you only use the next applet for a short message to let the caller know their callback request has been accepted.

If the customer hangs up before subsequent applets have completed, the callback will still be successful.
