What is Omnichannel Session Handling? Empowers agents to concurrently handle multiple customer sessions from different channels. Two main usage scenarios: Empower agents to handle multiple contacts from different customers concurrently Chat with Bob Call with Anna Elevate interactions into Omnichannel sessions by adding one or more channels Email with Chris
Usage Scenarios Improve Customer Satisfaction An interaction starts as a web chat, but as the customer and agent progress, they find it would be easier to resolve the issue on the phone. The agent can make a call to the customer, and could even, when resolved, send a confirmation email with the chat still active. Increase Agent Productivity An agent works multiple chats concurrently, but can fill lulls in handling chat with handling on one or more routed emails If an urgent routed voice call comes in, the agent is still available to handle this call in addition to all other concurrent interactions. + + =
