Create users

Contact Center users need to be created on the Unifonic Cloud platform first. To create a new user on the UC platform, follow these steps:

  • Create the user on the UC Platform.
  • Assing a user role. If you create an Admin user, assign the "Account Admin" role. If creating an agent, assign the "Account user" role.

User roles on UC

"Account admin" users have privilege rights on the Contact Center, such as creating teams and skills and adding or removing members from the teams. Also, they can create users on Unifonic Cloud.

The "Account user" role has restricted access to configuring Contact Center. Users under this role access the Contact Center as agents.

  • Tell the user to login into the UC Platform and navigate to the bot under which they will work.
  • Check that the new user is created upon the "All users list", under Unifonic Contact Center > Settings > Account > Teams.
  • Tell the user to set up their profile

Notice that the "All users list" can not be considered a team, is not available for chat assignment, and is not editable.

Create teams and skills

When setting up your Contact Center, the last step is creating teams and skills, adding agents to your teams, and assigning them skills. Until assigned to a team, agents will not receive incoming interactions.

This guide will help you with team configuration and skills configuration.

Create a chatbot flow with the chatbot builder

You will need to link a chatbot flow with the team and skills you created in the Contact Center. After creating a flow for your chatbot, use the Human Handover widget on the chatbot builder to route incoming interactions from your customers that you have received to an agent.

The Human Handover widget will allow you to configure the team (required field) and the skills (optional field) to route conversation if the user needs an agent's assistance. You can also set the messages to deliver to your users in these cases:

  • When the human handover is successful
  • When the human handover is disabled
  • When there are no agents available
  • When the human handover occurs after operational hours

Please, review the chatbot builder documentation if you need more information on how to build your flows.
