SMS Call Center

Call Queue Setup Procedure

Setting up SMS for a Call Queue 

1. Once enabled you can manage a call queue's sms settings by entering the call queue edit modal, or adding a completely new call queue. Insert any desired keywords or automated messages that you would like the incoming SMS originator to receive or initiation or termination of the message session.
2. Next you need to edit an sms capable number to be treated as a Call Queue number, and assign it to your chosen call queue
3. You can now add agents to the call queue and set their Max SMS Session count in the edit agents queue modal

Call Center Agent Usage

1. When an incoming message has been sent into the queue, call center agents assigned to the queue will receive a Queue Session Invite.             
2. Upon accepting, the call center agent will have ownership of the active queue message session for the duration of the conversation. In order to complete the session the call center agent can press End or the originator can type the termination message for that call queue.

Statistics

1. Several new call queue statistics are available to call center supervisors. SMS Volume (SMS_VOL) is the amount of SMS sessions that were handled for a queue. SMS Average Handle Time (SMS_AHT) is the average time it took an agent to handle an SMS session from the time of accepting till ending.
