  • 1.  Click-to-Dial from a Customers Web Site

    Posted 22 days ago

    Our customer is looking for a solution that lets their customers access their Web Page from anywhere in the world, click to dial, and reach a Genesys Cloud Call Center agent. This should require no extensions being added to the Browser. Utilizing the WebRTC embedded within the Browser to complete the call. The customer does not want to create a callback. Is there a way to use Web Messaging to create a WebRTC call? I thought of WhatsApp Voice, but I am not sure if this is supported yet. Thanks.

    Martin - why customer would not want to handle this with a more optimized Callback logic? Setting aside the technology (WebRTC vs. PSTN), by "optimized" I mean that online user would get involved over voice when it really matters, so when a human agent is available. This seems like the biggest benefit of the Callback model: the alternative is to handle this as traditional Inbound voice model, so keeping the online user stuck with the IVR/VA experience before getting to a human agent. Unless this is a very specialized use-case where human agents are the first touchpoint? It is just a matter of cutting telephony costs?

    I agree that callback appears to be the best option, but the customer does not want their customers to incur roaming costs. If a customer wants to connect from abroad and a callback is created, they may incur roaming charges. They would prefer a WebRTC call to eliminate any phone charges for the customer.

    Martin,

    There's an App Foundry product from TrueEngage (https://appfoundry.mypurecloud.com/filter/genesyscloud/listing/b15ea660-2f05-403b-b499-3161f2e1173f) that implements this capability quite easily and effectively.

    We have deployed and it works well.

    Thanks, Colin. I have experience with TrueEngage and offered it as an option, but because it would incur additional costs, the customer was looking for alternatives.

    Hi Martin,

    You can vote on the below for Click to Call direct from Web. The other option coming soon is WhatsApp inbound voice calling (targeted for this month) which relying on data or wifi would amount to a similar end.
