Genesys Cloud - Main

Good morning Community:

I appreciate your help with a question related to the following reference: Schedule callbacks during a voice interaction - PureCloud Resource Center

PureCloud Resource Center		remove preview
Schedule callbacks during a voice interaction - PureCloud Resource Center Prerequisites Conversation > Callback > Create permission (included in the Outbound Agent role) A callback is an outbound call requested by a contact. Agents can schedule a callback during a voice interaction. At the scheduled date and time, PureCloud routes the interaction to an agent. View this on PureCloud Resource Center >

https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/schedule-callbacks-during-a-current-interaction/

How can we set the callback customer number in order to be dialed accordingly with the dial plan?

The following scenario is presented:
When Genesys Cloud receives an inbound call, and an agent is available in tje queue, he/she could schedule a callback related to that call using the functionality described in the reference above. But in the telephone field, Genesys Cloud put, automatically, a "+" sign as a prefix of the cellphone number and it is considered as an "invalid number". Why it is happen? How can we get it valid?

Do you recommend this approach or by using and Script (https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/add-a-schedule-callback-option-to-a-script/)?

Thank you.

There are 3 types of scheduled callbacks possible:

• Web-based widget that asks for name, number, day, and time
• Agent scheduled tool allows agent to set callback number, date, time and routing option
• In-queue messaging that ask user for number and date/time of callback (requires customization with API

All three are presented to the agents as a callback that allows them to choose the number if multiple and click Begin Call.  This will use the dial plan related to site related to the phone the user is logged into.  The only way to change the way it dials out would be to change the number before the callback is created to match a different dial plan or force the user to only enter valid numbers that can be dialed.  

As for the +, remember that Genesys Cloud is VERY e.164 centric, so try to make all numbers +[Country]-[Area Code]-[Number].  Your dial plan should have National and International classifications that should allow for both e.164 and standard format numbers.  You can always test the number in the Sites then Simulate Call to see if your dial plan is setup correctly.
