Initiating a Voice or Video Call

During a text chat with a customer through the WhatsApp channel, an agent can initiate a voice or video call.

Prerequisites

  • The browser used by the customer supports WebRTC.
  • The customer has audio input and output devices or video input and output devices (for video calls).
  • The WebRTC feature has been enabled and the anonymous call server has been configured for the tenant space.
  • A web channel for which the click-to-dial called route is configured is available.

Context

If call collaboration is required, that is, a customer can have a text chat and a voice or video call with the same agent, the agent scope of the click-to-dial skill queue configured in the web channel configuration must be the same as that of the multimedia skill queue.

A voice or video call cannot be initiated during a chat between the chatbot and a customer.

Procedure

  1. Click as an agent. The system automatically generates a voice or video call link in the text box.
  2. Click Send. The customer receives the voice or video call link. After the customer clicks the link, the two parties can talk with each other.
