  • 1.  Schedule callback by Voice Bot

    Posted 07-16-2024 03:59

    Hi!

    During high call volume ties we would like to use a Voice Bot to ask the customer to schedule a callback.

    Just setup a callback to the next possible time is easy within a flow and without a Voice Bot. With this implementation we have the experience that the customer itself is not reachable that good.

    So we would like to use the Voice Bot to ask the customer to say a day or a date and time when he is avaiable to recieve the call back.
    The problem that we face is that the Voice Bot doesn't understand the day/date and the time.
    We mainly have German speaking customers, but also EN, ES, FR, ...

    Does anyone has experience with scheduling a callback by a Voice Bot?

    BR, Robert

    Hey Robert,

    Welcome to the community! While I have not personally implemented a Voice Bot like this, I do see that there are a few ideas in the Product Ideas Lab with regards to scheduling callbacks. For instance, this idea is under PM review currently and deals with callback scheduling. There is also another idea  that will help with picking dates across several digital channels (Agents Scripts, Bots, Canned Response, etc). It is listed as Upcoming Development so I would recommend that you click the VOTE button on those pages, it should notify you via email as this Idea progresses through development. If you want to make another enhancement request for Genesys Cloud, Genesys encourages you to register your request through the Product Ideas Lab.

    To Access the Product Ideas Lab and add your idea:

    Hi Robert,

    You should install this Accelerator from the AppFoundry: https://appfoundry.genesys.com/filter/genesyscloud/listing/f5bf6c44-679f-4808-8612-b7ff81f12609.  That will setup a use case where an agent can schedule a callback from a Script, but it will setup the Data Action that is necessary to create that Callback interaction.  Once you have that you can build a Bot to collect the same inputs and call that same Data Action from the Bot flow.

    Hi,

    @Jason Kleitz
    I've voted for this ideas, but this remain a lot of time until this will be available. 

    @Jim Crespino
    In my use case the agent are all busy already and can't accept calls create a scheduled callback. So we want to use a voice bot to schedule a call back at a time that the customer is available. It doesn't make that much sense to just create a call back request for a.s.a.p. but the customer is reachable again earliest in a few hours.
    Maybe an AI integration is needed to better understand the intent about the date and time when the call back should get scheduled.

    BR, Robert

    Hi Jim, when I click on your link all I get is the generic landing page for the AppFoundry.  Can you provide the search criteria, name of the accelarator?

    Thanks!

    Hello Vick,

    I think I see what happend. It looks like the URL is including the period (.) at the end when it's clicked.

    If you copy and paste this link (https://appfoundry.genesys.com/filter/genesyscloud/listing/f5bf6c44-679f-4808-8612-b7ff81f12609) or click on it, it should take you to the Schedule Callback via Script page in AppFoundry.

    Let me know if that works.

    Hi @Vick Sweeney

    Sorry about that, for some reason a "." was added to the end of my previous URL.  Try this: https://appfoundry.genesys.com/filter/genesyscloud/listing/f5bf6c44-679f-4808-8612-b7ff81f12609

    Hi @Robert Herms,

    The accelerator was meant to give you an idea of how to setup the data action.  The Callback API allows you to submit a callback date and time.  You'd have to change the data action in the blueprint utilize that date and time when calling the API.  Then in the bot you'd have to have the bot collect the callback data and time from the caller as a slot and then use that slot as input to the data action.  I hope that makes sense.

    Hi Jim,

    the call back API is not a problem for me.
    I am struggling to get the date and time (when the customer wants to get called) from the Voice Bot, re-calculate the time to UTC (timezone +2h) and convert it to the date/time format that the callback API requires.

    But starting at the beginning:
    The Voice Bot has 2 data types, Time and Date.
    The understanding of the requested time seems not that problem.
    The understanding of the requested date seems to be hard when the calle says "today" or "tomorrow".
    -> Do I need to calculate the date pending on this words?

    BR, Robert

    Hi Robert,

    Per the docs the "builtin:date" slot type should resolve things like "June 15th" or "next Tuesday".  I would have assumed "Today" and "Tomorrow" would also be included.  Are you saying that is not the case?
