Calculating Hourly Interacting

  • 1.  Calculating Hourly Interacting

    Hello,

    With the recent introduction of hourly interacting, i am wondering how people are calculating the number of hours they need. 

    I have been using some conversation API's to get them out and cross referencing with agent presence API's but wondering if anyone has managed to find a simpler way to extract data to model against. 

    Keen to hear peoples thoughts on this as probably going to become a common question.

    Hi, I am keen to see if there are any different ways for customers to track this also - some of our clients are not API savvy so would be good to understand if there are any features on the roadmap to support?

    I have found the agents presence API which I think might help?

    Thanks Beccy! it may just do, do you know if there is anything anywhere that will tell me the disqualifying permissions?

    Here - you go, this should help! https://help.genesys.cloud/articles/hourly-interacting-license-disqualifying-permissions/ 

    Are you aware of the calculation of the ceiling amounts per license tier?

    I will share - also, in regard to the disqualifying permissions - these aren't included in the hourly within the UI.

    Hi Beccy.

    Re: "Are you aware of the calculation of the ceiling amounts per license tier?"

    Are you saying that if an hourly license user exceeds a certain number of hours the charge for that user is capped? If so, I can't find any documentation around this (and neither can Copilot). Can you please share a link to where this is stated?

    Thanks,

    Nick.
