  • 1.  Outbound Voice Campaign in a Blended Environment

    Posted 07-07-2022 15:58
    Hi Community, 
    My organization plans on utilizing a blended environment for voice interactions as part of an upcoming project going live in a couple months. We plan on using preview dialing for outbound calls, while also having the same agents receive inbound calls between offered dialer outbound calls. My requirements are: if an Inbound call comes in, the agent should take that call, else they should work the dialer list in the Outbound campaign. 
    I'm assuming that this is a pretty normal setup for Genesys customers. From the documentation I've read, it seems like this is possible with Genesys out-of-the-box. 

    Is anyone else using this sort of setup? Have you learned any lessons along the way? Is there anything my team should watch out for? 

    We haven't done call blending before, so any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Yes, this is used, but not as much as you think.  The problem is that most companies don't have enough agents to handle the inbound calls, so never are free to work an outbound call.  I usually suggest different queues at least and to reduce the priority of inbound calls so they don't have higher priority of the outbound calls.  You might have more luck using Power or Preview to start.

    Thank you for the reply, Robert!
    We're hoping to prioritize the inbound calls over the outbound calls for this particular group, so it sounds like the blended queue will meet that need. I appreciate the insight you've provided!

    Thanks,

    Cory
