CCAC - Interacting with Emails
Requires Email Channel licensing
If email or multi-channel licensing is purchased, you will first need to configure email routing and licensing as outlined here
Receiving Emails
An agent will be eligible to receive emails if they are:
-
Logged into CCAC
-
Off DND
-
Applicable skill enabled
and
-
Email Channel enabled
Once eligible, the order for which agents will receive emails is based on their skill level using the linear routing strategy.
When an agent is dispatched an email, they will receive a notice in CCAC and the email will be deposited to their active media pane
To start "focusing" on the email, they simply need to select the applicable media to see the email content and begin a response draft.
Replying to Emails
Once an email is selected in the active media pane, the agent may draft a response.
The editor pane includes options to customize the content of the email and how to treat the email

Sending Email Draft, Transferring, or Marking as Complete
Once an email is assigned to an agent, it is their responsibility to resolve the media by replying, transferring, or marking the email as complete in order to clear it from their active media.
Sending a Draft
Once an email or response is drafted, clicking the "Send" button will send the content back to the addressed parties and remove the active media from the agent's CCAC.
Marking an Email as Complete
Often times in email communication, there may no longer be a required response from the agent. A good example would be when a client's need have already been resolved and the client has simply sent one more reply of gratitude or sending the agent a farewell.
To close an email thread and mark it as complete, the agent must click on "Mark as Complete" in the top right corner of the email editor pane.
The agent will see a confirmation prompt to confirm the closing of the email thread or to cancel.
The email will be logged in historical reporting as manually closed by the agent.
Spam Emails
Some unsolicited emails may be assigned to an agent and it's best that they are not forced to respond or to mark the email as complete. The best course of action is to mark the email as spam. This can be done by selecting the "Mark as Spam" icon in the bottom left of the email editor pane
The agent will receive a confirmation prompt allowing them to confirm the action or to cancel
Emails marked as spam will be logged as such in historical reporting, allowing for management to take appropriate steps in managing the email service for spam as well as holding agents accountable for emails incorrectly marked as spam
