Setting Your Status to Available

By default, your status will be set to "unavailable" when you first log in to the platform.

To start handling customer service conversations, click the "Set status to available" box.

Your status can also be modified by clicking on the gray emoticon button located in the top left-hand corner. A drop-down box will appear with the statuses available for you.

Select the Available status when you're ready to receive calls. To go offline, repeat these steps and select Offline.

Note: You can only set your status to "Offline" once all of your conversations have been closed.

Accepting a Call

When you receive an incoming call, a ringtone will sound, and a contact will be displayed on your screen with a green tick and a red x. To accept the call, click the green tick. If you decline the call by selecting the red x, it will be automatically passed to the next available agent.

If you don't answer the call, it will be transferred to the next available agent, and you'll receive a "Missed Call" message on your screen.  If you aren’t set to automatically clear the Missed interaction status in your Agent settings, you will have to clear the Missed status in order to receive further interactions.

Managing the Customer Profile Panel

If a contact is associated with a Customer Profile, all available information about the contact will be shown on the right-hand side of your screen.

You can hide the contact information panel to increase the size of the middle panel where you work. To do this, click on the "X" located in the top right-hand corner of your screen.

To display the contact information panel again, click on the icon located in the top right-hand corner.
