Some of the key aspects of making good next-best-action decisions is understanding why the customer is calling today, knowing the call center's average handle time (AHT), and being aware of any other contextual information from the agent's conversation with the customer. This information is sent to Pega Customer Decision Hub to influence the next-best-action results.

The following table describes the Pega-provided context settings for next-best-action decisions.

Service Intents

The service intent tasks that are currently queued for the customer.

CallVolumeIndicator

The current call volume in the contact center, for example, High, Moderate, or Low.

InteractionGoal

The goal for the interaction as defined in Pega Customer Service for Financial Services.

Intent Channel

The interaction type, for example, Call, Chat, IVR, or Social.

IVR.VRU Functions

The options indicated within the IVR.

CSMapAdditionalContext

Add additional context properties, as needed.
