Main Menu

The main menu is divided in two sections: Call history and Caller information.

Call History

This section displays all calls that the Agent has successfully answered.

It will display Caller Number, Selected Skill, and Time and Date. Selecting a call here will display new information in the Caller Information section.

The Call X-Ray option can be used to view the steps that the call took during the queue. 

Caller Information

This section will show information based on your CRM tool which must have been previously synchronized.

If your CRM has been successfully synchronized, in this section the Agent will find information such as the Title, Company, Phone number information and email information.

Notice that there are two tabs at the top, one for CRM and another for Desk. In CRM, the Agent will be able to see existing Opportunities related to this client. In Desk, they will be able to see existing Tickets for this client.

If no information was found, the Agent can try to add the caller as a Contact by clicking on “Add new contact”. This will open a window to take the user to Zoho Desk or CRM where they will be able to log-in and create the new contact directly on the CRM application database.

New contact creation ability will be dependent on user account permissions level. Please contact your Administrator for information.

After doing this, the Agent will be able to add new Tickets or Opportunities for this caller.

Finally, at the bottom of the screen, the option to Refresh Data can be found. This will allow the Agent to refresh the information from your Desk / CRM tool to show any recent changes.

Callbacks

The callbacks screen will display the list of Callbacks, which are generated from all calls that have not been answered.

This screen is divided in three sections:

  • Date range

The upper section of the screen allows the Agent to select the range of dates in which the information will be displayed.

  • Callbacks

This section allows the Agent to view the callbacks for all the company

  • My callbacks

This section allows the Agent to view the numbers selected to call back:

The information displayed here is:

  • Date – Date and time in agent local time
    • Skill – Skill through which the call came in
    • Call Number – Number that called in
    • Call duration –Call duration in HH:MM:SS format
    • Voicemail – If the caller left a voicemail message, allows the Agent to play it back
    • Status – Shows status of a callback. If call has not been completed. Agent can click on “Mark as completed” to update it.

Caller ID & Screen pop

The BlueSkyUC Caller ID will be displayed when there is an incoming call. This screen will show the number of the incoming call and the name of the Call Queue.

The Caller ID screen is informational only. The call must be picked up on the Teams app.

Upon answering an incoming call, the Screen pop will display the Caller Information screen as shown below.

While on a call, the Agent will notice that the Screen pop will show the Caller Information screen. This will allow the Agent to visualize existing information about the caller, based on the information synchronized from your CRM and Support Desk systems.

Just like the Call History, Agents will also be able to use the Create New Contact option to access the synchronized CRM and create the contact.

The agent is also able to Add Opportunity (Zoho CRM) and Add Ticket (Zoho Desk)
