Contact Expert v7.5

Understanding Contact Expert Session States

Session states

Individual interactions with the customer contact are grouped into sessions. Each session is bound to a contact and is generally about a specific topic (signing a contract, selling a product, handling a claim etc). A session has a life time potentially spanning callbacks and will terminate with either success or failure. Knowing the actual state of a session, or the number of sessions waiting in a particular state could be a useful information for a supervisor.

Session states are managed for both inbound and outbound calls, but mostly checked in reports in conjunction of outbound campaigns. Some session states are valid only in relation to such outbound campaign records/sessions.
