Abstract

The graphical programming call router features a rich library of powerful and easy-to-use components that administrators can use to seamlessly drop in contact center actions such as data dips, complex interactive voice responses (“IVRs”) and call recordings, among many others. This makes it easy to visualize the exact structure and outcome of any call flow. The graphical programming call router also offers granular queue management functionality so you can get specific around call prioritization, wait time and time-based actions on virtual queues.

Claims (24)

1. A method for operation of a graphically interactive voice response (IVR) system for processing customer communications, the method comprising:

presenting, on a computerized display for call routing, a graphical representation that allows a user to see a call flow route and a series of drop-down menus indicating options for transmitting incoming call data within an organization corresponding to the call flow route, said options including a customer experience module for changing a plurality of customer experience options; and

adding, to the computerized display, a graphical indication of an option selected by the user from the series of drop down menus and representing on the graphical representation a change to the call flow route based on the options from the series of drop-down menus selected by the user, wherein the customer experience module provides the user with at least one option for social media listening.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold music over transfers.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold advertising over transfers.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for routing omni-channel data.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for adapting visual flow routing features to omni-channel data.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein customer experience module provides the user with at least one option for switching channels during a call.

7. A graphically interactive voice response (IVR) system for processing customer communications, said system comprising a memory, a call management subsystem, and a processor for:

presenting, on a computerized display for call routing, a graphical representation that allows a user to see a call flow route and a series of drop-down menus indicating options for transmitting incoming call data within an organization corresponding to the call flow route, said options including a customer experience module for changing a plurality of customer experience options; and

adding, to the computerized display, a graphical indication of an option selected by the user from the series of drop down menus and representing on the graphical representation a change to the call flow route based on the options from the series of drop-down menus selected by the user, wherein the customer experience module provides the user with at least one option for social media listening.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold music over transfers.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold advertising over transfers.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for routing omni-channel data.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for adapting visual flow routing features to omni-channel data.

12. The system of claim 1 wherein customer experience module provides the user with at least one option for switching channels during a call.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions for a graphically interactive voice response (IVR) system capable of processing customer communications that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

present, on a computerized display for call routing, a graphical representation that allows a user to see a call flow route and a series of drop-down menus indicating options for transmitting incoming call data within an organization corresponding to the call flow route, said options including a customer experience module for changing a plurality of customer experience options; and

add, to the computerized display, a graphical indication of an option selected by the user from the series of drop down menus and representing on the graphical representation a change to the call flow route based on the options from the series of drop-down menus selected by the user, wherein the customer experience module provides the user with at least one option for social media listening.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising instructions whereby the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold music over transfers.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising instructions whereby the plurality of customer experience options includes an option for providing seamless hold advertising over transfers.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising instructions whereby the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for routing omni-channel data.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising instructions whereby the customer experience module provides the user with a plurality of options for adapting visual flow routing features to omni-channel data.
