  • 1.  Callbacks within business hours

    Hi all,

    Is there a way to manage callbacks to be only contained within business hours?

    Our current situation: Multiple queues with different operating hours. Some agents are cross trained, so when they go on queue, they get callback interactions from queues that are not open yet or already closed for the day. We've advised them to manually reschedule the callbacks to when the queue opens.

    Desired outcome: Using code, triggers, Architect, etc. to reschedule those callback interactions within operating hours, so agents wouldn't have to manually keep rescheduling to a later date/time.

    We're thinking a trigger could potentially help with collecting those leftover callbacks but so far the topics we've tested are not getting triggered.

    Would this be possible currently?

    Thank you!

    Hello Dianne, 

    This article sounds like what you are trying to achieve. Other than that I cant think of anything, not saying its not possible but it might require some fancy flow work. Hopefully someone in the community is trying or has achieved this. 

    Cheers,

    Hi Cameron,

    Thank you for your response! However, that article is for automatically dialing callbacks, whereas I'm hoping to reschedule or contain callbacks within certain business hours.

    Hello Dianne, 

    Ahh I missed the mark. I have done a little more digging and found this feature is not available for in-queue callbacks, But you can configure this process in Architect by adding a Decision action before the Create Callback action. Configure the Decision action to check hours and then determine whether to offer a callback.

    Can Genesys Cloud set callable times for callbacks?

    Hope this helps,

    For clarification, though...this article is defining behavior for callbacks being offered from an Architect flow and is specific to the time the callback should be offered to the caller, not when it should be placed...

    Dianne, setting the scheduled time is trickier and is usually done at the time the scheduled callback is created, whether using logic and a data action in a call flow or manipulation in a Script rather than using the standard button to generate a callback.


    You might post this question in the Developer community to get more ideas

    Dianne,

    A possible workaround (I wouldn't consider it a "solution") is for Agents to deactivate themselves in Queues that are not open. Supervisors could also do this. You might be able to write an automation that does this via the API (which would be more robust and less reliant on human intervention.

    Just a thought. HTH

    We are currently building a callback proof of concept and also wanted to avoid callbacks being offered too close to the end of business hours. One way we alleviated that is to stop offering callbacks an hour before the queue closes.

    This can be achieved by adding a schedule check to the In-Queue flow and changing the Schedule Evaluation DateTime to Specific. The expression in that field is:

    AddMinutes(GetCurrentDateTimeUtc(), 60)

    How about using a combination of normal callbacks and scheduled callbacks in architect? Schedule a callback according to next days open hours if can't be called within current open hours?
