Updated 

In this article we will learn about how you can configure callbacks for customer who dropped with in the IVR.

Business Use Cases

  1. Send Callbacks to callers who get dropped while waiting in the queue or in between IVR flow at any critical juncture like Payment, Card Blocking, Fraud, Emergency, etc

  2. Callback to your high priority customer if they dropped in the IVR

  3. Send Message / Email communication to callers after call ends in IVR

  4. Update CRM with IVR activity

Solution

We use the disconnect journey defined at IVR to take actions after a call disconnects in between the IVR process.

Sample configuration to handle the use case-

We can configure this in an IVR and Journey using following steps-

  1. Create Journey in journey facilitator

  2. Use decision box to take decision on which customers need to be called back

  3. Using Send SMS/email node in JF to trigger communication to caller

  4. Using Schedule Callback node in Journey Facilitator to trigger callback to caller

  5. Use of API node to send details to CRM with relevant information

  6. Use disconnect journey in IVR

Configuration Step

Pre-requisite for configuring this in IVR: Sprinklr Voice should be enabled for the environment and your user should have IVR View, Edit or Create permission

Create Trigger based journey

Under Sprinklr Service -> Resolve -> Voice -> Journey Facilitator -> Create new Journey -> Create a Trigger Based Journey

Note: To know more about how to configure Journey you can refer

Sample configuration is-

Add Decision box to take decision on customer which require any action

To take decision on which all customers should be called, add decision box and create multiple paths on the basis of case/profile custom fields like Priority, Process Leg, etc

Take actions like Send SMS, Schedule callback or API node for eligible calls

We can add action node like Send SMS, Schedule callback or API node on desired path of decision box. You can schedule callback using Schedule Outbound calls node. You have to define the Business Hour, Dialer, Timeout Duration.

Sample Configuration is-

Set Journey as the disconnect journey in IVR setting

Users can select the journey from Disconnect Journey field which is to run at the end of IVR
