Integration with Skype for Business
- Helen Griffith

If Skype for Business integration is enabled and configured for your account, an agent's state in ContactPad and presence in Skype for Business are synchronized.
With default state and presence mappings, if an agent's presence in Skype for Business changes to Busy (either manually or automatically), Vonage Contact Center changes the agent's state in ContactPad to Extended Away. In this scenario Vonage Contact Center will not route interactions to the agent. If an agent clicks to make a call in ContactPad, which automatically changes their state in ContactPad to Ready (Offline), the agent's presence in Skype for Business changes to Do not disturb.

Custom state and presence mappings
Default state and presence mappings exist for ContactPad states—major, minor and custom—and a hardcoded list of Skype for Business presences (Online, Away, Do Not Disturb, and Busy). For information about ContactPad states, see Agent states in ContactPad. If you want to override default mappings, you must create custom mappings.
For information about integrating your account for use with Skype for Business and about creating custom mappings, see Configuring integration with Skype for Business.
Example
In the following example which uses the default state and presence mappings:
- The agent changes their presence from Available to Busy in Skype for Business.
- The agent's state in ContactPad changes automatically from Ready to Extended Away.
- The agent clicks Make Call which automatically changes their state in ContactPad to Ready (Offline).
