Services & Campaigns Overview
A service is a logical concept that reflects a specific reason for customers to contact your business, or, in case of outbound campaigns, a specific reason for your business to contact customers. Services play the key role in design of interaction processing logic, evaluation of contact center efficiency, and workforce management.
Note that when you define a new service, a default skill representing this service is created automatically by the system. When you associate the service with an agent team, this default skill can be automatically assigned to all current and future members of the team.
To set up services or campaigns, select the Services & Campaigns option from the root menu.
