What are Skills in assignment engine ?
Updated
For a brand, it is important that every customer query should be resolved in the least possible time and with maximum customer satisfaction. Skill based routing solves the latter by matching the skills tagged with a case to the skills that are assigned to the agents in the queue. Depending on other factors like agent availability and agent capacity, the best skill-agent match is considered for case assignment.
Examples of Skills can be -
Language as a Skill - Agents with proficiency in Hindi language can be assigned "Hindi" as a skill. The case, which is tagged with "Hindi" skill, will be routed to these agents.
Department as a Skill - Agents who have expertise in dealing with complaint related cases can be assigned "Complaint" as a skill.
Skill Categories
Skill categories help in managing skills by categorising them. There can be multiple skills under one skill category. For example, suppose a brand XYZ recieves many complaint related emails of customers for a newly launched Laptop series. There are issues reported about malfunctioning of both software and hardware of the laptop. It is highly possible that an agent who is well versed with the Software may not have much knowledge about the Hardware. So in this case, a skill category named "Complaints" can be created with two skills - "Software Complaints" and "Hardware Complaints". This helps user to search skills related to similar aspect and then assign them to the agents.
In this section we will discuss how to create skills in assignment engine and how to assign them to agents.
