This introduces a whole new range of scenarios to create. Below one example of how to use the Autonomous dialer. The example below auto calls customers who have recently bought products via the web shop to see if they are satisfied.
For the Autonomous Dialer feature, a the list will be introduced named “Autonomous Dialer”. Similar to the Campaign Dialer, with the extra option to add a Pre-Welcome Messages. Giving the option to add a personal note to this customer. While still have the advanced schedule controls:
- Day of the week
- Date range

The results of the Autonomous Dialer are both stored in the Autonomous Dialer list and the SQL Database. Combining this with the new IVRInteractive Voice Response (IVR) is a telephone application to take orders via telephone keypad or voice through a computer. By choosing menu options the caller receives information, without the intervention of a human operator, or will be forwarded to the appropriate Agent. Report and the above scenario, will give you a detailed Survey possibility based on the customer reaction
Scenario
After the call is answered by the customer, Anywhere365 will play a message to the customer, after which the customer can choose option 1 (satisfied), option 2 (not satisfied) or disconnect the call.
If the customer is satisfied (pressed 1) the customer will be thanked for his/her feedback and the call will be disconnected. If the customer is not satisfied (pressed 2), a message will be played to the customer and an action can be defined (e.g. schedule call back request) after which the call gets disconnected. In both cases the feedback (was the customer satisfied or not) will be stored in Anywhere365. Finally, if the customer disconnects the call, this feedback will also be stored and no additional action will take place.
In case the customer has not made a choice within X seconds, the call might be answered by the voicemail of the customer and an additional message will be played to the customer.
If the customer (or the customer’s voicemail) does not answer the autonomous call, but instead the call gets disconnected, Anywhere365 will try to call the customer again, for a maximum of Y retries.
