  • 1.  Alert when call comes into flow

    We are currently using an inbound flow to just give an announcement that all lines are busy and to disconnect the call, so is there a way to have this flow send out an alert email to our group to let us know this inbound flow is receiving calls?

    Hey Mark! 

    I'm not sure of any alerts myself.. would the "Flows" reporting help? ... to see the number of entries into that flow.
    I don't think these reports can be automated within the UI to send an email like some of the other reports available... But it does help paint a picture.

    Hey Kymberli!

    No unfortunately that won't help because we need to know right away if calls are going to this flow at anytime of day.

    I don't believe Genesys Cloud has the ability to send an alert email from an inbound flow.....there is an open idea for this feature. https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLINB-I-226

    There are a couple of other options here. You can use a data action to POST to Geneys Cloud webhooks to send a message to group chat. There are more details on the developer centre. The other option if you have Cloud 3 is to use agentless sms notifications.

    Not a very elegant way of achieving it but what you could do is:

    Instead of just disconnecting the call, send it to a dummy queue (Busy_Disconnect) - don't assign any users to it.  Create a simple in-queue flow that just contains a disconnect action and then assign that to the Queue as it's default in-queue flow.

    Then you could use the Alerts function to build a rule to send an email out when there are Abandons or Offers against that queue.  Depending on what type of call volumes you're expecting you might need to create a few rules so it fires at different counts - so first when it's greater than 0, then when it = 5, then = 10 etc.

    You'd need to test to see if that will work for you.

    Calling a Data Action from a Flow to send an Alert is really straightforward to implement.  You can use the Alerting API (https://developer.mypurecloud.com/api/rest/v2/alerting/overview.html) to send an email, SMS, or chat notification to a user.  If you want/need help setting that up just message me directly and I'd be happy to help you out.

    Not sure with my idea what you'd do about clearing the alerts though so they fire again the next day.
