What are the Fax Accounts?

 

With XCALLY Motion you can share a single Fax-box among several agents and use it in a way similar to a voice queue.

XCALLY Motion offers a web client Fax specific for Customer Care needs, where the Agents share  all information: what you need to do is just to configure Fax phone numbers, Trunks and Motion accounts, and manage Fax exchange using XCALLY Motion, as well as for the other channels.

 

On this page:

The Fax Accounts Section

In this Section you can add New Fax Accounts and manage the existing ones.

Settings

 

General

In this section you can edit and change the values inserted when adding the Fax Account:

 

 

You can also configure the following parameters: 

  • Add a customized Header Info for the outbound Fax

  • Wait for the Assigned Agent: the time a new message waits for the same Agent currently managing the interaction (with closed tab) to accept it, when the Agent is not available on the system because logged out or in pause. By default 10 seconds; the allowed values range is 1-2147483. 

  • Wait for the Assigned Queue: If the Agent currently managing the interaction doesn't accept a new message within the Assigned Agent Timeout or rejects it, the interaction is transferred to the Queue which the Agent is part of. The parameter Wait for the Assigned Queue is the time a new message waits for an Agent in that Queue to accept it, before proceeding with the action plan. By default 10 seconds; the allowed values range is 1-2147483. 

 


The Administrator can customize the notification of a new interaction in order to show to the Agent information about the source, the sender, the recipient queue and so on.


The Setting section of the Notification is under the general settings of a channel account and allows to:

  • enable/disable the notification sound 
  • enable/disable the notification shake effect
  • define notification contents and style in the Template section (here you can define which information to show about the specific interaction using XCALLY Motion variables)


 

Transfer

Toggle to enable/disable the Agent transfer to a queue or to another agent and set the specific timeout (the time in seconds the message will wait to be accepted before returning back as unread). 

 

If this switch is on, the Agent will be able to Transfer an interaction, like in the following example (queue): click on

and then Transfer
