Adding a common phrase

To decrease the time needed for a customer service representative (CSR) to respond to common customer questions, and to ensure consistent responses, you can configure a set of common phrases that CSRs can select from and send in their replies. The use of common phrases is supported in chat, messaging, and email interactions.

To create a common phrase log in to the Interaction Portal as a manager. From there you access common phrases from the Application Tools.

Adding a common phrase

Give the phrase a name and assign it a category. A CSR sees a list of categories and then all of the phrases for that category. You can also select which language this phrase is appropriate for and whether this phrase should be available to chat, email, or both of those channels. Next you supply the text that is inserted when the CSR selects the common phrase.

The last part of the configuration is the option to see customer utterances.  Any phrases or text you put here is used to train the Augmented Agent when to suggest this common phrase to a CSR.
