Info
titleThis is the important bit!

In order that VIPs found in the whitelist will bypass the rules attached to the start of the group, all rules regarding:

  • Opening times
  • Holidays
  • Special opening times cases, for example company general meetings

are attached to the Start check point in the ACD group. 

Since VIPs and special callers in the whitelist will be routed to Start 2 by the IVR application, they will bypass these rules and always end up in the group.

Conclusion and Uses

  • The StartStart 2 and Start 3 entry points to an ACD group give you the capability and flexibility to apply different rule-sets and priorities to callers entering an acd group. 
  • You can use this capability to bypass rules attached to, for example Start, like in this example, for VIP routing.
  • Or you could attach completely different rule-sets to each Start checkpoint, for example based on which service level a customer / caller has:
    • Start = 8x5 Monday to Friday
    • Start 2 = 12 x 5 Monday to Friday
    • Start 3 = 24 x 7 
  • You can increase (or decrease) caller priority.
  • Calls will be recorded in the statistics of the ACD group.
