Inbound Routing

Routing can be used to change the behavior of the Contact Center when a certain address / URI is recognized. For each line in the Routing a Match criteria can be set, following the order the Match lines will be used. When there is a match the address will be forwarded to either the Skill or the Parent Question. When forwarded to a Skill the caller will directly enter the queue. When forward to a Parent Question, the customer will enter the IVR Interactive Voice Response, or 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. at that point.

Inbound / Direct Routing, also known as C-Level Routing, is when an Agent is called directly.

For Inbound / Direct Routing both the MatchTo and MatchFrom fields will be used. This routing is only active when the address / URI in MatchTo is being called.

Note: An Enterprise license or higher is required to access these features.

Navigate to the SharePoint Configuration Page of the UCC A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location.

Scenarios

Boss secretary routing

Instead of using the Microsoft Teams "Delegates" feature. Use Inbound Routing, this way you have much more flexibility to route customers to the right contact in your organization, and benefit from features like reporting and audio recording. Furthermore, you have much more control, as Agents cannot influence the behavior by changing personal settings on their client.

When users should be called directly, you can use the Inbound Routing rules to redirect these calls to a Skill.
