Alerts and Triggers
Alerts and Triggers configures who is notified, by email or CCAC desktop alert, when a built-in event occurs or a realtime metric or daily report value crosses a threshold.
Alerts and Triggers notifies the right people when something needs attention — an emergency call is placed, a queue grows past a threshold, or a daily report value falls outside its expected range. Each trigger defines what is watched and who is alerted, by email, by a desktop alert in CCAC, or both. Alerts and Triggers previously lived in the Desktop Client's Admin Client and is now configured directly in the CCaaS web portal.
Accessing Alerts and Triggers
Alerts and Triggers is accessible to accounts with Admin permissions.
- Navigate to
Admin (System) > Alerts and Triggers - The
Alerts and Triggersmodal opens with three tabs:Standard Triggers,Realtime Triggers, andCustom Daily Triggers
Built-in alerts for emergency calls and agent license shortages. Only the recipients are configured; a trigger with no recipients sends nothing.
Custom alerts that check a realtime metric about every 5 seconds and fire when it crosses a threshold, on a configurable schedule.
Custom alerts that check one report value once a day and fire when it crosses a threshold.
Alert Delivery
Every trigger alerts by email, by a desktop alert in CCAC, or both. Changes take effect as soon as they are saved.
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| Sent to every listed address, whether or not the recipient is an agent | |
| Desktop alert | Shown in CCAC to the listed users. Desktop alerts appear only for users signed in to the agent client (CCAC) when the alert fires |
Times on the Realtime Triggers and Custom Daily Triggers tabs use the server time zone shown on each tab — for example, America/Denver.
