  • 1.  clarification on outbound and wfm

    Posted 05-29-2023 03:21

    Hi Community ,

    As per the below link , "Currently, workforce management forecasting and scheduling only supports inbound voice, chat, callbacks, email, and message media.........".

    Does that mean that entire outbound is out of WFM scope (manual outbound and campaigns)?


    Regards

    Hi Garima - 

    That is correct; GC WFM can be used for inbound only at this time. 

    Thanks,
    Trent.

    Hi William ,

    I am new to WFM . Have recently started exploring this one .
    I am not asking from a Dialler perspective. The agents will be make manual outbound calls on behalf of a queue . WIll call volumes and forecasting in WFM apply for such calls ?

    Hi William,

    I am also looking for the ability to forecast outbound calls on behalf of a queue - again, not dialler related.

    Cheers, Chris

    We have an interest in using WFM for outbounds as well.  Our interest is a little different, we have people that make outbounds based on a report.   They manually make these calls, but we want to be able to monitor that they are actually making Outbounds.   We are thinking about creating an Outbound Queue to make the outbounds.   This will allow us to grab the "Interacting" time as a measure.   This queue will be used for outbonds only, there will be no call paths routing there.       Any thoughts on whether this is the best approach?

    Also, we get our list of people we need to call from emails, I know that is a Media type supported by Genesys, is there anyway to incorporate that into a process within Genesys?
