Installing the Autonomous Dialer
Note
An Enterprise license or higher is required to access these features.
Installation
-
Add setting "EnableAutonomousDialer" in the Settings list with value "True" or "False" depending on whether the Dialer needs to run immediately or at a later moment.
-
Add setting "StartAutonomousDialerOnStartup" in the Settings list with value "True" to automatically start the Dialer engine during startup of the A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location..
-
UCC setting "OutboundDialerDeclineRetry" can be used to specify the number of retries
-
UCC setting "OutboundDialerDeclineRetryTime" can be used to specify the number of minutes between retries
-
UCC setting "MaxDialerSessions" sets the maximum number of sessions at the same time. Zero means no limit (default is 0)
Important
Step 2 requires a restart of the UCC service to activate. Plan this setting ahead of time in a maintenance window to avoid unnecessary downtime of your UCC's.
