Also known as API. A set of routines, protocols, and tools for using software applications. API also can refer to an interface that enables third-party programs to connect to any of Acqueon's applications.
This is a call that has more than two parties connected. When an agent on a call (with a customer) adds another party (either another agent, a supervisor, or a third party), this call becomes a conference.
Also known as Dual-Tone Multi Frequency. This is a system that sends pairs of audio frequencies to represent digits on a telephone keypad.
The agent's current status. The agent state can be Logged-in, Logged-out, Ready, Reserved, In Call, ACW, Not Ready, Break, etc. These states are configured by the contact center administrators and agents navigate between these states from log in to log out.
Also known as After Call Work. This is the work that agents perform, usually after ending a call with a customer. This includes setting dispositions (or outcomes) and other assigned tasks before getting into a state that allows the next call to be routed.
A Queue is a mapping for a collection of agents. The Group has a 1:1 integration with the with Queue of the partner ACD platform or the campaign of the partner dialer platform.
See Group also.
A warm transfer happens when an agent transfers a call to another agent or a supervisor after a brief about the call/customer and an acknowledgement, so that the new handler of the call has a context before engaging in an interaction.
This contracts with Blind Transfer or Cold Transfer when an agent transfers the call to another agent/supervisor and hangs up.
A call that originates from a contact center DN or a contact center IVR system and is dialed to an external entity.
