How do I configure Connect to automatically set the disposition code for a call based on the call's outcome?
If enabled and configured for your account, when an agent ends a Connect call, Connect automatically sets the disposition code for the call based on the outcome of the call. To do so, Connect uses call-outcome to disposition-code mappings that exist in your org. If Connect cannot find a mapping for the call outcome, agents must manually set the disposition code as normal.

Deleting a call-outcome to disposition-code mapping also deletes the flag that indicates whether Connect should progress to the next record for an agent to handle. |
How do I configure Connect to progress to the next call or record for the agent to handle based on the call's disposition code?
If enabled and configured for your account, when an agent ends a Connect call, Connect can progress to the next call or record for the agent to handle, or to remain on the current record. Connect determines what to do next based on the call's disposition code. To do so, Connect uses disposition code mappings in your org. A disposition code mapping contains a progression mode. The progression mode tells Connect what to do next if that disposition code is set for an agent's call.
To create disposition-code flags, perform the following steps:
Go to
...
Locate the item in the list with the following values:
...
To the left of the item, click Manage. Any existing settings appear.
...
the Disposition Code Management tab in your ContactWorld for Salesforce app. The Disposition Codes section contains any existing mappings, and the Assistant section contains the unmapped call outcomes and disposition codes.
Info The Assistant section gets the list of disposition codes from the Log A Call Disposition Code Field field in custom settings.
- If a mapping for the disposition code exists, click the cog icon in the ACTIONS column alongside disposition code. Click Edit.
If a mapping for the disposition code does not exist, click New.
An Edit Disposition Code dialog box appears. If you are setting a progression mode for a new disposition-code mapping, type the name of the disposition code you want to map in the Disposition Code field, for example, No Answer.
Note title Maximum length of disposition codes Disposition codes should be no longer than the character limit for custom settings. The limit depends on whether the custom settings are encoded or whether the disposition code contains extended characters, such as é.
We recommend that your disposition codes contain 25 characters or fewer.
In the Progression Mode list, select which of the following tasks Connect will perform if the agent's current call contains this disposition code:
- Continue to next record
- Continue to next call
- Stay on current record
- Click Save.
The mapping appears in the Disposition Codes section; the mapped disposition code and any mapped call outcomes no longer appear in the Assistant section.
Now, when an agent selects a disposition code for and ends a call, Connect can progress to the agent's next call if the selected disposition code indicates that the call was connecteddetermines what to do next based on the progression mode of the call's disposition code (set by either Connect or the agent).
