{{Image750 | Email-Routing-Escalation.png | Email tab Escalation}}
''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 [[Contact-center-administrator-guide/PropertiesTab | hours of operation specified for the given service.]]

The time to wait before routing emails to the escalation service. The wait time is measured by hours of operation and not calendar hours. For example, if the SLA is set for 1 hour, and the email arrives 10 minutes before the service closes, the email will only be escalated 50 minutes after the service re-opens. The wait time can be specified by business minutes, hours, or days.

Email Tab for Services & Campaigns

Nav-icon.png

Services & Campaigns > Email


The fields, values, and options for the Email tab in Services & Campaigns are described in this document.


Email tab


Acknowledgement

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.

Info.40x40.png Acknowledgment isn't considered a reply and doesn't 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 incoming emails in the service queue. Emails will be visible to the agents of the teams assigned this service. Agents select emails to process from this queue.

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


Info.40x40.png When emails are delivered to agents (push) or appear in the service queue (pull), they are sorted by priority and then by the shortest remaining time to breach the configured service level.

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.

If enabled, the system attempts to deliver any email identified as part of an existing email thread to the agent who sent the previous reply within that thread.

Personal routing timeout

If personal routing is enabled and the Distribution method is push, Personal routing timeout specifies how long the system waits in minutes, hours, or days, for the agent who sent the previous reply to become available before distributing the email to qualified agents via push.


Info.40x40.png Values set in minutes may be rounded to the nearest upper multiple of five.


This timeout applies to the push method. For the pull method, such emails are immediately delivered to the agent’s My Queue.

Email tab Personal Queue Management

Return emails to general queue if SLA is breached

Return emails to general queue if SLA is breached causes emails that have breached a service level while in My Queues to return to the general service queue.

Return emails to general queue after

Return emails to general queue after specifies in minutes, hours, or days how long the system waits after the email is placed in an agent's My Queue before returning an email to the general service queue.

If the Return emails to general queue if SLA is breached is set, emails are returned to the general queue, even when put in the agent's My queue after the SLA is breached.


Return emails to general queue after Notes
Info.40x40.png
  • A change in this setting applies to newly arriving emails. The new timeout value will not apply to emails already in agents' queues.
  • Transfers of emails between personal queues don't reset the timeout. Time starts accumulating when the email appears in the first personal queue.
  • If this value is set to fewer than 15 minutes, the actual transfer back to the team queue happens no sooner than 15 minutes.
  • Values set over 15 minutes may be rounded to the nearest upper multiple of five.

Email tab Service Level Target

Replied emails

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

Within threshold

Within threshold sets the service's service level threshold in minutes, hours, or days. A service level threshold is the time emails associated with the service are expected to get a reply.

The reply time is measured from when the email is placed in the service queue to when the first reply is sent.


Service Level Target Notes
Info.40x40.png
  • An Acknowledgement isn't a reply.
  • When an email moves between service queues, its time in queue applies against the new service's threshold and may instantly breach it.
  • Time accumulated outside of the hours of operation specified for the given service isn't counted against the threshold.
  • Within threshold values set in minutes may be rounded to the nearest upper multiple of five.

Email tab Escalation

Escalate to another service

This is the where service emails are escalated to when they have not been responded to within the time set below.

after

The time to wait before routing emails to the escalation service. The wait time is measured by hours of operation and not calendar hours. For example, if the SLA is set for 1 hour, and the email arrives 10 minutes before the service closes, the email will only be escalated 50 minutes after the service re-opens. The wait time can be specified by business minutes, hours, or days.

Email tab Screepop
