Post-interaction processing

Post-interaction processing

Provisioned feature

The feature described on this page may not be enabled for all accounts. Access depends on your current license level or specific account configuration.

Overview

When a call concludes and all parties disconnect, you can set your interaction plan to trigger a Post-interaction process. This allows you to bridge the gap between a live conversation and your follow-up workflows without manual intervention.

You can set a Post-interaction process for both voice and digital interactions.

How it works

  • Automatic activation: The route is triggered the moment the call ends.

  • Data continuity: All data sources from the active call are passed to the route. This includes:

    • Call Identifier: CLID.

    • Context: Dialed Number and Language.

    • Results: The specific Interaction Outcome.

You can use standard applets within the target route to automate post-call logic:

Objective

Example Action

Customer Engagement

Send an automated SMS with order confirmation details.

Marketing insights

Log call statistics and outcomes to an external database.

Applet Restrictions

Certain applets, such as Automatic Call Distributor (ACD), Announcer, or Universal Contact Distributor (UCD) require a current call or interaction. Such applets in your Post-interaction process do not work.

Unattended interaction plan type

Application

This type of post-processing plan is:

  • Optional for the default plan type.

  • The only selectable option for the message plan type.

VCC offers an interaction plan specifically for post-call processing called Unattended, with which no active presence is required - unlike standard plans, the Unattended plan runs without an interaction present. It processes logic independently after the interaction has technically ended.

This interaction plan type only includes applets compatible with post-processing tasks, which include:

  • Data Connector

  • Data Router

  • Set Data Source

  • Route to Interaction Plan

  • Schedule Router

  • Loop Counter

  • Pause Applet

  • Send Email

For information on creating new interaction plans, see How do I create a new interaction plan? in the Working with interaction plans in Interaction Plans Manager section.

Configure Post-interaction process:

To link a Post-interaction process to a live interaction plan, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Interaction Plans > Architect. For more information, see Accessing Interaction Plans Architect.

  2. In the Interaction Plan Configuration section to view the list of available interaction plans. Select the interaction plan for which you are setting the post-call named route.

  3. Click Display Selection.

  4. The system displays the following fields under Interaction Plan Directory:

    • Applet List,

    • Applet Manager,

    • Transfer Manager, and

    • Service and visualisation

  5. Go to Set post interaction processing and select the route you want to initiate when the call ends.

  6. Click Set to finalize.

InteractionOutcome

Within a Post-interaction process, applicable applets can use the InteractionOutcome data source which contains the outcome of the interaction. For more information, see Interaction outcomes.
