Abstract

A sentiment-based score is determined for a contact center engagement between a first contact center service operator and a contact center user. The sentiment-based score is indicated within a graphical user interface displaying information associated with multiple contact center engagements at a device of a second contact center service operator. Based on a request to participate in the contact center engagement received from the device of the second contact center service operator via the graphical user interface, information associated with the contact center engagement is transmitted to the device of the second contact center service operator, and a contact center session involving a device of the contact center user and the device of the second contact center service operator is established.

Claims (32)

1. A method, comprising:

outputting, while a contact center engagement between a first contact center service operator and a contact center user is in-progress, information associated with the contact center engagement at a device of a second contact center service operator, the contact center engagement associated with a sentiment-based score initialized based on a past contact center engagement involving the contact center user; and

transmitting, from the device of the second contact center service operator, a request for the second contact center service operator to participate in the contact center engagement based on an update to the sentiment-based score during the contact center engagement.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is to monitor the contact center engagement.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is to communicate with the first contact center service operator.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is to join the contact center engagement.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the contact center engagement is output at the device of the second contact center service operator within a graphical user interface displaying information associated with multiple contact center engagements involving different first contact center service operators.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sentiment-based score is updated during the contact center engagement based on one or more interactions between the first contact center service operator and the contact center user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a contact center session involving a device of the contact center user and the device of the second contact center service operator is established based on the request.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a high priority of the contact center engagement is alerted to the second contact center service operator based on the update to the sentiment-based score.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first contact center service operator is one of a contact center agent or a chatbot.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

outputting, while a contact center engagement between a first contact center service operator and a contact center user is in-progress, information associated with the contact center engagement at a device of a second contact center service operator, the contact center engagement associated with a sentiment-based score initialized based on a past contact center engagement involving the contact center user; and

transmitting, from the device of the second contact center service operator, a request for the second contact center service operator to participate in the contact center engagement based on an update to the sentiment-based score during the contact center engagement.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the contact center engagement is output at the device of the second contact center service operator within a graphical user interface that includes a visualization of multiple active contact center engagements.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the update to the sentiment-based score causes a presentation of an alert to the device of the second contact center service operator.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein:

where the request to participate in the contact center engagement is a request to monitor the contact center engagement, a contact center session is established to provide audio of the contact center engagement to the device of the second contact center service operator,

where the request to participate in the contact center engagement is a request to communicate with the first contact center service operator, a contact center session is established to enable communications between a device of the first contact center service operator and the device of the second contact center service operator during the contact center engagement, and

where the request to participate in the contact center engagement is a request to join the contact center engagement, a contact center session is established to enable the second contact center service operator to communicate with the contact center user during the contact center engagement.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:

output, while a contact center engagement between a first contact center service operator and a contact center user is in-progress, information associated with the contact center engagement at a device of a second contact center service operator, the contact center engagement associated with a sentiment-based score initialized based on a past contact center engagement involving the contact center user; and

transmit, from the device of the second contact center service operator, a request for the second contact center service operator to participate in the contact center engagement based on an update to the sentiment-based score during the contact center engagement.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the information associated with the contact center engagement includes a summary of one or more recent interactions during the contact center engagement that lead to the update to the sentiment-based score.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the information associated with the contact center engagement is included in a message received by the device of the second contact center service operator.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the request is transmitted via a graphical user interface output for display at the device of the second contact center service operator, wherein the information associated with the contact center engagement is output within the graphical user interface.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the request is one of a request to monitor the contact center engagement, a request to communicate with the first contact center service operator during the contact center engagement, or a request to join the contact center engagement.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

based on the request, establish a session to provide audio of the contact center engagement to the device of the second contact center service operator.

20. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the update to the sentiment-based score causes the sentiment-based score to meet or exceed a threshold defined by the second contact center service operator.
