Setting Up Call Functionality In Halo
Call Management is a feature that is primarily used when you have agents answering the phone or making calls to log tickets in Halo.
You can have your agents run through call scripts to automate the process of information gathering and then log this in the ticket.
When enabled, you can edit the settings for this feature. This can be done by heading to the 'Configuration' page and pressing the + symbol when hovering over the 'Call Management' module.
Logging a call manually
To manually log a call as an agent head to the ticket screen, click new and click "New Call", this will bring up the call screen which is explained below.
This is the call screen, this will appear when an incoming call is taken or when an outgoing call is logged using the call feature.
- This button will stop the call timer and should be used when the caller hangs up.
- This is the caller info box, clicking here will allow you to match the contact of the person calling. Filling in the caller name will match to a contact under this site.
- Clicking here will open the call script selection dialogue.
- This is where you should enter notes for the call.
- These two options will log a ticket or log AND close a ticket. The 'complete' button will close the call screen.
- When a contact is selected, other tickets they have logged will appear here.
Adding and Creating Scripts
In the call management settings, you can edit the call scripts by clicking on the below icon. Clicking into any existing call script or clicking 'New' will bring up the edit screen.
The edit screen itself is self-explanatory with the name and notes being evident. The list of questions is underneath these.
- The sequence is the order in which the questions appear in the list, this is ordered low to high.
- Pick a question type, this will decide on the responses that are available.
- Fill in the question.
- Input the responses allowed if you selected pick an option or select the field to populate when filled in.
- Select the next question if necessary or end the call script here.
Integrating with Calling Software
We currently support screen popping to the call screen. You will need to input the URL to your Web App with '/call' at the end such as https://yourhalourl/Call?showmenu=false&callerid=@callerid . This will populate the contacts information if matched on the phone number for incoming calls.
