Processing Calls Receiving Calls

TCPA Manual Touch ModeIf you are part of a domain enabled for TCPA Manual Touch Mode, you are required to input all internal and external phone numbers manually into the adapter. You cannot cut and paste or drag and drop a phone number into the field. You cannot call a contact until you have correctly entered all numbers.

This feature applies to these types of calls, whether or not they are part of a campaign: click-to-dial, call previews, and queue and voicemail callbacks. For queue callbacks, automatic dialing is disabled, and, for outbound calls, the automatic answer feature in your softphone settings is disabled. For more information, contact your supervisor. These figures show what you see when you need to type the number.

Receiving CallsTo receive calls, your state must be ready for voice. You may receive internal calls from other agents or supervisors, automated outbound calls made by the dialer, and inbound and queue callback calls from contacts.

When Preview Dialing is enabled for an outbound campaign, you see the details of the contact record and the campaign if applicable. When you receive a call, you may see a notification such as this one, except if you use Internet Explorer.

These messages are useful if you minimize or hide your adapter behind another application. These messages apply to all types of calls and contain specific information:

• Incoming outbound, inbound, internal, or other call: name or phone number and campaign

• Incoming skill or personal voicemail: name or phone number and campaign• Reminder that is due• Internal chat or broadcast message: name and message• Maintenance notifications


Processing Calls Receiving Calls

You may have the option to decline the call. If you exceed the previewing time limit, the contact is dialed automatically. For more information, see Call Preview. Process all calls as described in the features of this chapter.

Queue callbacks are calls that you return after contacts who cannot immediately speak with an agent request a callback instead of remaining on the line until their turn arrives. A field in the softphone may indicate the nature of the call.

To modify the notification settings, click the cog in the lower right corner. The figure on the right displays the Firefox options. You can delay or disable browser notifications at your convenience.

If you enabled the auto-answer options in your softphone, you receive calls automatically. If you have permission, you may reject ringing calls.

Call PreviewThis feature may be enabled in outbound campaigns. An incoming call notification opens before the call is connected to your station. As soon as you change your state to ready for voice, a call preview may be displayed. The preview contains the details about the contact record and the campaign name if applicable. If the notification has a time limit (red timer), the timer begins immediately. If you exceed the previewing time limit, your state may be changed to Not Ready.

Depending on the campaign configuration, the contact may be dialed automatically, or you may choose when to call the contact after you review the details. You cannot be interrupted after you have decided to call a previewed contact. You may have permission to decline the call. In this case, you are required to select a disposition that indicates the reason.

These figures show how these calls may appear. The phone number menu contains a list of all phone numbers stored for the contact.

While previewing outbound contacts, you may be interrupted by these types of calls or voicemail if no other agents are available:

• Outbound, inbound, and autodial calls• Calls transferred to skills or campaigns

Processing Calls Making Conference Calls

Making Conference CallsDuring calls, you can create and participate in conference calls with three or more internal or external parties. You can create a conference call in one or two steps:

• Two steps (warm or attended): Check Warm conference to place the first party on hold before adding a participant. This method enables you to speak briefly with the participant before starting the conference.

• One step (cold or blind): Add the participant and start the conference at the same time.

Specific options are available during warm and cold conferences.

1 Click the conference icon.

2 Enter the third party’s phone number, or select a number in the Contacts database.You can invite an agent, skill group member, or other party. You may enter only part of the name in the Filter field.

Warm ConferenceThis method enables you to speak with the third party before starting the conference.

1 Click Warm, and click Initiate Conference.

To start, click conference icon.

Your party is placed on hold, and the dialing options open.



2 If you need to enter additional number to reach your party, open the keypad.When using the keypad or your keyboard to manually enter the number, you may hear the tones that represent the numbers that you entered to navigate through the contact’s phone menu. The numbers are displayed below the keypad.

While you speak to the third party, the person on hold hears music.

3 After the connection is established, speak briefly with the third party before connecting the party who is on hold.If you cancel the conference now, the initial party remains on hold until you click Retrieve.

4 To start the conference, click Add Participant.

Connecting ConnectedInitiatingSteps 1 – 3 above Steps 4 – 5 below



The party on hold is retrieved. In addition to the standard call options, several conference options are available as show below. If you leave the conference before it ends, you must assign a disposition for your segment of the call. The other participants remain in the conference.

5 To end the conference call, select an option:– One step: click End Interaction, and select a disposition. Do not choose this

option if you want the other parties to continue to speak.– Two steps: (1) click End Call > add notes to the call log > (2) End Interaction >

Transferring CallsIf you have permission, you may transfer a call to another agent, skill group member, internal or external party, or campaign. Before customers are transferred, they are put on hold. You can transfer a call to a queue that you cannot monitor because, in this case, you select a recipient from your entire address book, which contains all skills and agents. For



example, transferring a call to an inbound campaign can be useful to perform an after-call survey. When a call is transferred to you, process it as you would any other call. After you complete your part of the call, assign a disposition. You can transfer a call in one or two steps:

• Two-step (warm or attended) transfer: select Initiate transfer to speak briefly with the recipient before disconnecting yourself from the initial party and transferring the call.

• One-step (cold or blind) transfer: select Mute transfer to disconnect yourself immediately from the initial party and transfer the call at the same time. During a one-step transfer, the customer hears everything before the recipient answers the phone, such as ringing, music on hold, and voicemail.

When a transfer is not completed, such as when the recipient is not available, the call is returned to you and parked. You then need to complete the call appropriately by transferring it to another recipient or to voicemail or by retrieving the call.

1 Click Transfer.2 Enter the transfer destination phone number.

Cold TransferIf you transfer the call to an external number, you are prompted to set a disposition. If you transfer the call to another agent or skill, the recipient sets the disposition at the end of the call.



1 Optionally, to limit the time to allow for the other agent to answer the transferred call, modify the default time-out.If the recipient does not answer in the allotted time, the call is transferred to the recipient’s voicemail, if you check the option below, or the call is returned to you.

2 Optionally, to route the call to the agent's personal voice mailbox if the agent is not available, enable the voicemail option. If you do not, you must either retrieve and finish processing the call or transfer it to another agent.– If the other agent is logged in but not available, the call is processed after the

time-out.– If the other agent is not logged in, the call is processed immediately.

Ending CallsWhen you end a call or your part of a transfer or conference call, you select a disposition.

Selecting DispositionsWhen you or your contact ends a call, you indicate the result of the call by selecting a disposition. You can process another call immediately afterward. In some campaigns, the system automatically sets a disposition after a certain time or automatically sets system dispositions, such as No Answer, Busy, Fax, Answering Machine, and Dial Error. For preview calls, you need to select the dispositions manually.

In some cases, dispositions are not final or have specific conditions. For example, if you want to redial a number later because a phone line is busy, choose a disposition that enables you to do so, such as Agent to Redial. In this case, you set a timer to redial the number after the specified amount of time. You may see dispositions similar to these:

• Busy: The number that you called is busy.• No Answer: The phone ringing but no answer.• Fax: The number that you called is a fax machine.• System: This value is selected automatically in case of system failure, such as a

lost connection.• Add to DNC List: The number is added to the do-not-call list.• Left Message: You left a voicemail message.• Answering Machine: You did not leave a voicemail message.• Scheduled Callback: You scheduled a return call.• Not Interested: The called party is not interested.• Agent to Redial: You set a timer so that you may call this number again later.

Processing Calls Adding Numbers to the DNC List

Adding Numbers to the DNC ListDo Not Call (DNC) numbers are numbers whose owners have indicated that they do not want to receive unsolicited phone calls. Unless the owner of the phone number has given explicit permission to be called, you cannot call them. Such numbers should appear in the DNC lists that your contact center has either verified or purchased from a vendor who has verified the list.

If you have permission, you may add phone numbers to your local DNC list directly or by using a disposition. The number is not added to the national DNC list. If you try to dial a number in your DNC list, you see an error message if you do not have permission.
