    Is there a way to customize the incoming call notifications? I've had different customers ask this question, in one form or another. Current customer wants to be able to see what Language the caller selected during the call flow. Then I assume they would either Decline or Accept the call. I know there's issues with an agent declining a call. But can we modify this part of the user interface. Can I put a variable in there somehow that might say "French" or other language?

    Can we modify this notification in the UI? Or maybe the Toast pop-up below.

    Hey there Greg, 

    Great question, though I think that the solution you might want to present would be better in a lot of cases. If you can, recommend the following;

    Through the call flow have your IVR ask the customer what language (from the sounds of this, it appears this might be the case?) they would like to talk in etc. At this point, depending on what language the customer selects in the IVR, you would attach a language skill to the interaction. Then only assign those language skills to agents that can speak it. 

    This was, you can use routing to only deliver that interaction to the agents that can actually speak it. 

    It will make for a much better CX and also reporting on the contact centre will be much better, as if an agent clicks decline, they will go into "not responding" which is a useful metric to look into to see when agents are not paying attention etc. 

    Let me know if you want to see a few things on how I do it in my CC and <g class="gr_ gr_1022 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="1022" data-gr-id="1022">hopefully</g> this can help you along.

    Thanks for the reply Lawrence.
    I am already prompting for the language in this call flow and assigning a language skill, then requiring that of the agent. I've got an inbound script page that also indicates the language to use, and whisper audio that says either "English call" or "French call". The script page and whisper audio don't indicate the language until the agent actually answers the call. The agents are bilingual, and this customer just wants to have an indicator of the language before the agent clicks the answer button. I and the customer, know they will be taken off-queue if they decline, but they are asking for it. I guess they want to get their "French hat on" before they click answer.
    Need to be able to modify the UI for incoming call notifications.

    Hey @Greg Beal,

    I don't think we can modify anything in the UI. In my case we have language based queues. Call lands the pertinent language queue as per the selection over the IVR. So whenever call notification comes - it shows which language hat to put on.. See if this works for you?

    We use a pop script that shows the selected language by interpreting the code from the Call.Language built-in variable that we pass to the script (along with other information like ANI, etc).

    @Greg Beal I finally had time to set up an inbound queue with a script assigned via the Screen Pop action.

    In my org, the script pops to the agent while the call is alerting. So, I don't understand why you couldn't have the Language in a field at the top of the script so the agent can see it before picking up the interaction.

    Are you not seeing the script pop? Or, is the language you have configured in the script not populating until after the agent picks up?

    Example from my Org. I added an Input variable to my script named "Language", added that to the Set Screen Pop action in Architect with a value of ToString(Call.Language) and this is what I see when the call is alerting:


    So, as far as I can tell, that should meet the requirements you describe? In production I would set a variable with "English" or whatever (based on the Call.Language value) as the value instead, just to be clear for the agent.

    I had issues sending through a string (the string would only sometimes be received in time for the script to show it). I had to move the interpretation of the language code into the script to get it to work reliably. This was the reply from support at the time (about 6 months ago): "We don't recommend customers use custom variables for an in-queue call flow because they can run into issues where the information gathered in that variable is not populated to the interaction details. This is because the call starts ringing to the agent before the variable can be set to the interaction details.  By the time the language is set in the interaction details, the UI won't show it."

    I set it in the Inbound Call flow before the Transfer to ACD. If you are setting something in the In-Queue Call flow I presume you are changing the language via menu after the call has been waiting for a while?

    I can see why something set in the In-Queue Call flow might not be updated in time to make it to the Alert.

    Yes, I set the string at the start of the in-queue flow. Apparently, depending on how quickly the agent answers, the string makes it to the script or not. I didn't know you could set the pop-script already in the inbound flow. The interpretation of the code in the script is a bit cumbersome (nested if-then-else statements), but works reliably.

    I use a Task in my Inbound Call flow to ask the caller a couple of questions, set the languages, choose a queue, set the screen pop script, and do the Transfer to ACD.
