Web Service Integration — Abandoned Call Callback
Configures a Web Service Integration Profile that automatically requests a callback for callers who abandon the queue.
Automates a callback for callers who abandon a call while waiting in queue for at least a defined period of time, by triggering the Callback API from a Web Service Integration Profile.
Interim SolutionThis is an interim configuration pattern. Usage of this pattern will be monitored, and a more streamlined experience is planned as usage increases.
Prerequisites
A bearer token is required to authenticate the callback request. See API Service Users to create or locate a Service User and its token.

Best PracticesUse a dedicated skill for automated callbacks — Keeps reporting separate from in-queue requested callbacks, and allows a distinct callback greeting for customers who did not request the callback themselves. Priority and agent attendance should match the originating skill.
Use the Reserve Agent callback strategy — Since these callers already abandoned the queue once, connecting them immediately upon accepting the callback provides a better experience than re-entering a queue under the Wait in Queue strategy.
