Points of Contact

The Points of Contact page is where you manage all the communication channels through which customers can reach your AI customer service agent. This page allows you to configure phone numbers, SMS lines, emails, and web interactions associated with specific workflows, settings, and automatic transfer rules. Here’s a breakdown of the features and how to set them up.

Overview of Points of Contact

In the Points of Contact section, you can add, edit, and manage various communication channels. Each point of contact can be linked to specific Flows (i.e., conversation workflows) and Auto-Transfer settings to control how incoming interactions are handled.

Configurable Options

  • Auto Transfer Target: Specify the phone number to which calls should be automatically transferred, if needed.
  • Auto Transfer Percent: Set the percentage of calls that will skip the AI agent and go directly to the main call center. This feature is useful for gradually rolling out the AI agent, allowing you to control the volume of calls that reach the AI while the remainder go straight to a live representative.

Flow Variants

You can set multiple variants for each point of contact, allowing you to test different conversation flows and voice options.
  • Flow: Select the specific conversation workflow (Flow) for this variant.
  • Voice: Choose the voice variant (e.g., “Greg” or “Nova”) to personalize the call experience.
  • Weight: Adjust the distribution of this variant as a percentage to control how often each variant is used.
Click Add Variant to include additional options for testing or segmenting your flows. Flow Variants
