Chat Controls

The controls available to you during an active chat session allow you to take a variety of actions including taking notes, searching the Knowledge Base, and adding attachments; the following is a list of buttons and controls you will see.


An active chat session


Schedule a Follow-Up Activity

The Schedule a follow-up activity button allows you to schedule an event in your calendar. Scheduling events lets you set reminders to follow-up with customers, agents, or activities at a later time.

Add a New Case

The Add a new case button allows you to create a new case related to an interaction. Creating cases for chat sessions creates a record of the interaction and can allow you to follow up with the customer through other channels (i.e., email, voice). For more information, see How to Create New Cases.

Start VoIP Call

Flag the Chat

The Flag the chat button allows you to flag the chat; flagging a chat indicates to your supervisor that you need assistance with the interaction. For more information, see How to Flag a Chat Session.

End Chat

AD-End-Chat-Button-532.PNG

The End Chat button ends the chat. Note that if you are conducting a conference and there is more than one agent and/or supervisor active in the chat session, selecting the End Chat button will end the chat for you only (i.e., the chat will stay active until the last user ends it).

Channel Selector Control

AD-Chat-Select-Service-Control-532.PNG

The Channel Selector control allows you to chat with the customer on a different media channel (i.e., web chat, SMS, Facebook Messenger, etc.) without ending the conversation. The Channel Selector will show all media channels available to you. If your contact center integrates with Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, for example, those messenger types will be shown. The default channel type will be the same as the active interaction.

Whether you have selected a specific channel type or are using the default, you will be presented with a message field where you may enter a message to send to the customer. To send a message to the customer, type your message, then press the <ENTER> key or click the send message AD-Chat-Send-Message-Icon-532.PNG icon.
