Agent Console¶
The Agent console displays essential information for agents who use the Case Management Console. It focuses on initiating customer interactions, creating cases, and managing cases and tasks. The console streamlines the case management workflow to ensure quick response times and effective issue resolution.
Prerequisites¶
Before managing cases and tasks, ensure the following prerequisites are completed:
-

-
Customers must have the option to select an agent during Bot or Voice interactions or conversations.
-
The customer should select the agent transfer option to initiate agent interaction.

The system creates cases based on the configuration defined in Case Templates. You can handle a customer case using two methods: Automated or On-Demand.
Automated¶
The process of automated case creation are configured using public APIs for channels such as emails and voicemails. Use these public APIs to get case details, update case details, and delete case details.

When automated case creation is enabled, every qualified conversation automatically derives the case data, and thus, a case is created.
On demand¶
On-demand refers to the live conversation with a customer through any channel (email, chat, or voice). The agent reviews the customer's issue or query and creates a case accordingly. Agents and Supervisors can create cases in the following ways:
-
Offline Conversation
-
Live Conversation
Note
Administrators can enable the on demand feature in the Manage Cases section and assign it to a specific agent instead of enabling it for everyone.
Offline Conversation¶
Agents and supervisors can manually create cases based on information that are not linked to real-time interaction, such as Emails, Voice Calls, or Chat messages. This process does not require an active conversation with the customer or access to the console that requires to manage customer issues and inquiries even outside of live interactions.
