Simple Inbound Call to Queue
Basic, Voice, Inbound, Queue
A simple inbound voice flow where callers are greeted, and queued to an agent, along with hold music while waiting for an agent.
This flow provides a straightforward process for handling inbound calls in a contact center:
- A call is received and enters the flow through the entry point.
- A welcome message is played to the caller.
- The caller is placed in a queue for the next available agent.
- While waiting in the queue, hold music is played to the caller.
- The call flow handles error conditions gracefully and can redirect the caller if any unexpected issues arise.
- Create Entry Point, Queue, Teams, and Entry Point Mapping from the Control Hub settings page for Webex Contact Center. Refer to the Setup and Administration Guide.
- This flow uses Cisco Text-to-Speech (TTS) for the welcome message. If required, upload static audio files for custom greetings.
This flow ensures a smooth experience by placing error-handling mechanisms and allowing fallback scenarios in case agents are not available.
Here are the activities used in the flow:
Start (New Phone Contact):
- The flow begins when a call is received via the entry point.
- The call is accepted into the flow and proceeds to the next step.
Play Message (Welcome Prompt):
- A message is played to welcome the caller. In this flow, the message says: "Welcome to Webex Contact Center!"
- This message is configured using Cisco TTS, but can be replaced with custom recordings.
Queue (Direct Contact):
- After the welcome message, the call is placed into a queue.
- The queue is set to direct the call to the "Q_arubhatt" queue, which routes the caller to the longest available agent.
Play Music (Music on Hold):
- While waiting in the queue, the flow plays hold music. In this case, the default file "defaultmusic_on_hold.wav" is used, and it plays for 30 seconds before looping.
Play Message (Hold Message):
- A secondary message is played while the caller is waiting: "Thank you for your patience. Please wait while we find you an expert."
- This message is also handled using Cisco TTS.
End Flow:
- The flow terminates upon agent connection or if an error occurs.
- It ensures the caller is smoothly handled, whether they are connected to an agent or if the flow needs to end due to an error.
- The flow has been designed to handle unexpected issues by terminating gracefully, with fallback routes available.
