Adding Teams

Teams contain Agents and Settings that control

Teams consist of 1 or more Agents and control the behaviour of new calls.

Create multiple teams for different lead sources, integrations and use cases. Don’t fuss with all the options. The default values are usually the best way to get started.

• Name: The name to help you reference the team.

• Agents: The Agents that Call Assist should call. Agents can be ordered by clicking and dragging the agents name after adding to the team. Call Assist will call agents in the order configured in team settings. Add new / additional agents from Agents section.

• Call Routing:
  • Round Robin: Agents will be called one after another.
  • Simultaneous: All Agents will be called at the same time.
    
    The first agent to answer and provide an appropriate response will take control of the call.

• Call Recording: Whether you want to record the call.

• Lead-facing Caller ID: A validated Agent phone number that will be shown as the Caller ID to Teams and Leads. Selecting Agent’s Phone Number will use the caller id for whatever agent is being connected to the lead. If the Agent does not have a validated phone number, another validated phone number will be used instead.

• Callback URL: A webhook URL where Call Assist should post the call result / status after it completes.

• Restrict Calling Scheduled: This allows you to configure when the team is available. Both Agents and Teams have their own on-call scheduled.

Team scheduled can be configured from the Team listing, not directly from the Team settings modal.
