This topic is part of the manual Genesys Engage On-Premises Use Cases for version Current of Genesys Use Cases.
Apply personalized routing to digital interactions

What's the challenge?

Customers expect to be connected with the best available agent, and for the agent to know their history and status from all communication channels — email, messaging, and chat. But if your interaction channels operate in silos, your agents are operating at a disadvantage and customers get frustrated.

What's the solution?

Give customers hyper-personalized experiences by routing them to the best resource. Move beyond queue-based routing to improve customer satisfaction and reduce operational costs. Enable the best possible business outcome across every digital channel.

Use Case Definition

Business Flow

The following diagram describes the business flow of the interaction handling.

Business Flow Description

  1. The customer contacts the company via e-mail, chat or SMS
  2. Genesys verifies if the customer can be identified in context services (Reference: BL1)
    1. Identifying information is:
      1. E-mail address for e-mail and chat
      2. Phone number for SMS
  3. If the identifying information does not match an entry in context services, a new contact will be created. Context from the interaction and customer journey will be attached to this contact. For chat: If the customer does not provide an e-mail address, he will be handled as anonymous customer and no contact / journey will be created.
  4. The interaction is handled as described in the underlying use cases for chat, e-mail or SMS
  5. If the customer could be identified in context services, Genesys will check if personalized treatment/handling of the customer interaction is required using the available information in the database and the configured business rules (Reference: BL2).
  6. Genesys updates the contact with context information from the interaction and the customer Journey. The interaction is handled as described in the underlying use cases for chat, e-mail or SMS.
  7. Genesys updates the contact with context information from the interaction and the customer Journey (Reference: BL3). Genesys will modify the following based on the configured business rules:
    • Automated reply message (personalized messaging)
    • Required skill / agent to handle the interaction
    • Interaction priority
  8. The flow will continue as described in the underlying use cases for chat, e-mail or SMS with the modified parameters as described above.

Business and Distribution Logic

Business Logic

Parameters and Business Rules

BL1:

Genesys checks the personalized routing database to see if there is a unique match for the available customer Identifier. Customer identifier will vary based on the inbound interaction channel:

  • E-mail address for e-mail and chat
  • Phone number for SMS


BL2:

Genesys uses the available Customer Identifier to see if there is a matching record in the Context Services Database. Where there is a match, Genesys will also establish if personalized handling of the interaction is required. This decision is based on the available data for the customer entry and the configured business rules.

The following section describes the information that can be sent to / utilized by the Personalized Routing DB in order to influence the routing.

  • Repeat Calls
  • Abandoned Calls
  • Pending Interactions (e.g. unanswered e-mail, SMS / Twitter, Facebook)
  • Customer Segment (stored by Genesys)


BL3: Treatments Available by Use Case Level

This section covers the treatments that can be applied to an inbound interaction based on the available data outlined in BL2.

  • High Priority Routing (next available agent)
  • Route Customer to Specific Skill / Skill combination
  • Personalized message, i.e.
    • Personalized auto-answer in case of e-mail and SMS
    • Personalized greeting message in case of chat

Historical Reporting

Genesys CX Insights (GCXI) provides customizable reports and dashboards that can help you track the benefits of this use case by analyzing historical data KPIs that illustrate the percentage of abandon interactions, and the root cause of abandonment.

Some of the most relevant reports that are useful to measure the effectiveness of the engagement rules and efficiency of the use case are found in the Chat folder, such as:

  • Asynchronous Chat Dashboard — View detailed information about asynchronous chat sessions in the contact center. Asynchronous (Async) chat sessions are single chat sessions between a customer and a contact center that last for a long period of time (potentially several days). Agents can return a chat session back into the workflow (into a dormant state), and then reconnect to the session later.
  • Chat Engagement Report — Learn more about how chat calls that terminated.
  • Interaction Acceptance Dashboard — Understand how long it takes for agents to accept customer interactions, and to identify what percentage of interactions are accepted promptly, or with some delay.
  • Interaction Acceptance Report — View statistics about the acceptance of interactions by agents, including the amount of time it takes for agent to accept interactions, and the number and percentage of interactions that were accepted quickly, or with a delay.

Other reports relevant to this use case include:

  • Interaction Handling Attempt Report — Explore segment-related details with regard to an agent’s handling of contact center interactions that are stored in the Info Mart INTERACTION_RESOURCE_FACT table, including both the time that was required to distribute the interaction to the agent, and data about the agent’s contiguous participation in the interaction.
