Contact Centre Feature

Agent Status & Availability

Agent status is the state that routing depends on. The platform tracks whether each agent is available, on a call, on a break, in wrap-up or offline, and uses that to decide who the next queued call is offered to. Agents can also be given their own outbound caller ID, so a call from a specific team or region shows the number the customer expects rather than a single shared line.

What Agent Management gives you

Track who is available, who is on a call and who is unavailable, and control the caller ID each agent dials out on.

Routing follows real availability

Calls go to agents who can actually take them, rather than ringing out on someone who stepped away.

Per-agent outbound caller ID

A regional team can dial out on a regional number, which materially changes answer rates on outbound calls.

Status visible to supervisors

Who is on a call, who is free and who is unavailable, live rather than reconstructed afterwards.

Ring-no-answer moves on

If an offered call is not picked up, it moves to the next agent instead of ringing out on an empty desk.

How Agent Management works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    An agent signs in to the agent desktop and sets themselves available.

  2. 2

    The platform records the state change and includes them in routing.

  3. 3

    When a call is offered and answered, status moves to on call automatically.

  4. 4

    After the call the agent is in wrap-up until they submit a disposition.

  5. 5

    The agent returns to available, or picks a break or offline status.

What Agent Management does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • Status reflects call state and what the agent sets. It is not a productivity monitor and does not track screen activity.
  • There is no automatic wrap-up timer. An agent stays in wrap-up until they submit a disposition.

Common uses

  • Shift management

  • Skill-based teams

  • Regional outbound teams

  • Supervisor oversight
