    Article summary

    A Business Outcome is the disposition set by an Agent based on the result of an Interaction with a customer. It defines the rules for recall and closure for each specific outcome.

    Business Outcomes include:

    • Disposition Setting: The agent assigns a business outcome based on the customer's response or the result of the interaction. This disposition categorizes the interaction for future reference and action.

    • Rules for Recall and Closure: Each business outcome is associated rules that dictate the next steps. For example, a successful outcome might lead to the closure of the case, while an unsuccessful outcome might schedule a follow-up interaction.

    Example:

    • If a credit card holder agrees to pay their balance, the business outcome might be set as Confirmed To Pay and categorized as a Success. The system can then be configured to close the contact upon this successful outcome.

    • If the credit card holder declines to pay, the business outcome might be set as Declined To Pay and categorized as a Failure. The system can then be configured to reschedule the contact for a later date.

    Users have the ability to create, edit, and delete business outcomes. This customization ensures that business outcomes can be created for different groups, making them relevant and aligned with specific needs. For example, you can create different outcomes for the sales and loan departments.
