Process chat interactions
In 8x8 Agent Workspace
The brand new interface for 8x8 Contact Center agents to receive and process customer interactions., chat interactions provide a means of responding in real time to customer inquiries.
Depending on the configuration of your contact center, the contact center's chat access page can be configured to allow or require a customer to supply an account number, case ID, or other numerical information before beginning the chat interaction. When you accept the new chat session, 8x8 AgentAgents use the Agent Console to view and manage customer interactions. Virtual Contact Center supports Regular agents and Supervisor agents. Workspace uses the information to automatically access customer or case records in the Local CRM.
If the customer has not supplied any identifying information before beginning the chat, you can ask the customer via the chat window for the information needed to create a new customer or case record.
8x8 Contact Center agents may be assigned to one or more chat queues. Chat queues prioritize and deliver chat interactions to agents whose status is Available, and who are assigned to an enabled queue.
Note: As an agent, you can process up to six concurrent chats from customers, and an unlimited number of chats with agents.
