ChanSpy

 

 

Overview

ChanSpy is a feature that allows administrator and supervisors to listen to agent calls, whisper to the agent without the customer hearing, or barge into the conversation when necessary.

You can access the ChanSpy section from the Voice menu in the main navigation panel. Some ChanSpy options are available by default.

This page describes the Chanspy configuration on the New Client Experience, available from version 3.48.0. We recommend using the New Experience web interface to take full advantage of the latest features.

In the section, you can easily search, filter, and sort to quickly find and manage the desired chanspy.

  2. Edit the profile of the agent you want to configure

  3. Navigate to the Voice tab

  4. Enable the ChanSpy option

If ChanSpy is not working for a specific agent, check the configuration context — it should always be set to from-sip.
