Request Flow Descriptions
After you have set up the integrated platform, test all the caller/agent interactions your company plans to use. The request flows for the same type of request can differ depending on whether the agent is assigned by IPCC or by a legacy ACD. The following request flows are available:
Blended Collaboration With blended collaboration, the caller and agent talk on the phone and are linked in a collaborative Web session.
Text Chat The caller and agent can conduct a text chat session when a telephone call is not desired or not possible.
Web Callback A Web callback request is one that does not involve collaboration. The caller and agent simply talk on the phone.
Delayed Callback A delayed call back request is similar to Web callback only the customer requests a call at a specified number of minutes in the future. When the time has elapsed, the caller and agent talk on the phone.
E-mail Message The flow of an e-mail message does not involve either the IPCC or a legacy ACD. The ICM software assigns an agent and the customer and agent communicate by electronic mail.
