  • 1.  Call Avoidance Behaviours using SMS interactions

    Posted 2 days ago

    Good morning all,

    I am currently investigating a particular agents interactions and from what I can see, it looks to be blatant call avoidance tactics.

    However, the agent in question has been reporting laptop slowness/issues during this same time. So, I want to find out whether there are any reported instances of the following behaviors being caused by laptop slowness/internet issues etc (For HR).

    The Behaviors witnessed

    Most often after a missed call (Alert/No Answer) - Agent A would open a message interaction and no message would be sent. The timeline for the SMS interaction shows that they re-enter the same message interaction multiple times throughout the day, but without ever sending an actual message. During this time in the SMS interaction, Agent A is present on queue, but is not contacted for any voice calls as Genesys determines Agent A as being in an interaction. 

    Example of SMS interaction timeline below - with no message being sent.


    Agent A's total handle time for SMS interactions is astronomically high compared to the rest of their team. 

    From what I've deduced, Agent A is missing a call as they're doing something else, then putting themselves into a message interaction to avoid being contacted for any calls for a given amount of time. Then ending the message, and re-entering the message multiple times throughout the day.

    I've been able to recreate the above timeline by entering a message for the same number - multiple times in a day, without sending a message.

    Is it possible that system slowness/poor internet or are there any reports of these types of behaviors being recreated by the system rather than the user? 

    I'd appreciate any input you may have.

    Thanks all,

    Hello Nicholas, 

    First and most importantly I want to mention that we cannot track system slowness or poor internet from our end. This would be something you would need to look into on the agents workstation. What I can help with is taking a look at how Genesys Cloud was functioning. During the time of December 18th (I got that from the screenshot) I don't see any performance issues from Genesys Cloud. 

    Cheers,
