Email tab


Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment is the message sent as an immediate response to inbound emails associated with a service to acknowledge receipt of a request and advise the sender about the estimated reply time.

Acknowledgment is not considered a reply and does not affect metrics related to this service. It is only sent for the initial email in an email thread.

Acknowledgments must initially be prepared as articles in the Knowledge Base.

Select an article to use as acknowledgment for the given service by clicking the link, entering article keywords in the search field, and choosing the language. Matching articles will be listed. Select the desired article to display it in the preview field.

Acknowledgment can be defined in one language only in the current product version.

Distribution method

Distribution method is the method of email delivery to the Agent Desktop.

Use the pull method to keep all incoming emails in the service queue. The emails will be visible to the agents of the teams associated with this service. (See the description of the Assignments tab). Agents must select emails manually to process from this queue.

Use the push method to deliver incoming emails directly to the Agent Desktop like calls and chats. Agents can accept incoming emails for immediate processing or move emails to My Queue for processing at a later time. For information about agents' availability to process email interactions, see section Omni-Channel Routing.


The order in which incoming emails are delivered is determined first by priority and then by the shortest remaining time to breach the configured service level. (See the description of the Service Level settings below.) For more information about email priority, see section Scenario Entries - Email.

Enable personal routing

Enable personal routing indicates whether personal email routing is enabled for this service.

Enable to deliver emails identified as part of an existing email thread to the agent who composed the previous reply within that thread.

Personal routing timeout

Enable personal routing above to specify the length of time the system will wait for the agent who composed the previous reply to become available before switching to the regular distribution method involving all qualified agents.

This timeout is essential for the push method only. For the pull method, such emails will be immediately delivered to the agent’s My Queue.

Return emails to general queue after

Return emails to general queue after specifies how long the system will wait (from the moment the email is placed in an agent’s My Queue) before returning this email to the general service queue.

Select "return emails to general queue if SLA is breached" to return such messages back to the general queue, even if the emails is put in the agent's My queue after the SLA is breached.

Return emails to general queue if SLA is breached

This setting indicates whether emails that have breached service level while in My Queues will be returned to the general service queue. See the description of the following Service Level settings.

Replied emails

This setting specifies the percentage of emails associated with this service that are expected to be replied within the specified service level threshold (see below) relative to all replied emails.

Within threshold

Service level, Within threshold sets the service level threshold for this service. A service level threshold is the amount of time in which emails associated with this service are expected to get a reply. The reply time is measured from the moment the email is placed in the service queue to the moment when the first reply is sent. Acknowledgement (see above) is not considered a reply. The Service Level will be reset when an email is moved from one service queue to another.

The email service level threshold can be specified either in hours or in days. Either case excludes the time that is outside of the hours of operation specified for the given service.
