Enabling voice and data transfer for Pega Call
Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) can transfer a call to another CSR along with the associated interaction and call data using voice and data transfer. When you transfer a call with the associated interaction, the associated service cases are also transferred.
Voice and data transfer supports both warm and blind transfers.
To transfer a call, ensure that the target CSR is logged into the same portal and use the same navigation method. Do not use integrated voice data transfer for transferring a call to parties who do not use Pega Customer Service. If the CSR to whom the call is transferred does not use Pega Customer Service, the interaction and service cases will remain open in the transfer work basket.
Save all changes before initiating a transfer. During the transfer, if unsaved changes are present in the interaction, a pop-up message is displayed with OK and Cancel buttons. Clicking the OK button transfers the interaction without the unsaved changes.
- In the navigation pane of App Studio, click .
- Select the Enable integrated voice data transfer check box.
Transfer reasons
When transferring a call with its associated interaction, a Customer Service Representative (CSR) selects a reason for the transfer.
By default, a CSR can choose from the following transfer reasons:
- Escalate to supervisor
- Customer needs additional services
- Customer routed to wrong queue
- Other
You can configure additional transfer reasons and set transfer reason availability for interaction channels. For instructions, see Configuring transfer reasons.
Setting a time limit for voice and data transfers
You can configure a time limit beyond which calls and interactions awaiting transfer are moved back to the Customer Service Representative (CSR) initiating the transfer.
When a CSR initiates a voice and data transfer for a call and its attached interaction, the transfer waits to be accepted by a different CSR. To shorten the time customers wait for assistance, you can configure a time limit after which the call and its interaction return to the CSR who initiated the transfer.
Pega Call provides a job scheduler, called
ReassignToTransferor, which sets the default time limit for voice and
data transfers to 15 minutes. You can enable that job scheduler and modify the time
limit.
- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio click .
- Click the
ReassignToTransferorjob scheduler. - Click the Enable Job Scheduler toggle to switch on the job scheduler.
- Modify the time limit for voice and data transfers in minutes in the After every field.
- Set the Long running job scheduler threshold to the value of your time limit in milliseconds.
- Click Save.
