Default messaging, chat, and voice workflows
The default workflows for voice, messaging, and chat are similar, and you can use these workflows as a starting point to design your own workflows. The following is an overview of how the default voice, messaging, and chat workflows operate.
After these workflows initially trigger at the Start Task, the Start Automation task initiates the default Automation flow which allows you to collect customer identification data, required attributes, and routing data. If the customer chooses to connect with an agent after receiving automated treatment, the Connect Agent task starts. The Connect Agent task includes two tasks that trigger when no agents are immediately available: a Business Strategy task with a sample customer wait time rule and a Give Treatment task that initiates the default Automation flow which provides wait treatment to customers while they are waiting for an available agent. When an agent accepts the interaction, the default workflow moves on to the Agent Connected task. The agent can transfer the customer, initiate a consultation call, or end the interaction. For Voice interactions, the Consult task provides wait treatment for the agent initiating a consultation. The Disconnect task disconnects the customer from the interaction when the interaction is over, or an error occurs.
