This node is used to check agent availability based on skills and decide the next node to run within the experience flow.

Note: Please be aware that the Check Agent Availability node is experimental and may be deprecated in a future release.

 

To configure the Check Agent Availability node, you must set up the following: 

General Settings

Click the General Settings icon and provide the following information: 

1. 1. Provide a Custom Name by which to identify the node.
   2. In the Choose Skills drop-down, specify the skills or skill groups which you want to check agent availability for.
   3. Select the Check for specific agent or agent groups checkbox to search for specific agents or groups in the text field. This will restrict the node to only checking availability among the selected agents or groups.

      Note: You can check agent availability either based on skills or on agents or agent groups. The two criteria cannot be used together.

   4. Under Output, you can select nodes to define the following:
      1. The success path (If an agent is available): The flow is directed to the selected node from the current node if an available is found, according to the criteria set above. 
      2. The failure path (If no agent is available): The flow is directed to the selected node from the current node if an available agent is not found, according to the criteria set above. 

Once providing node connections within the Output section, your flow might look similar to the example below, with both the success and the failure paths drawn on the canvas.

Error Handling

Use this section to handle system errors during customer interactions.

• Your Message to User: The message that will be played or displayed to the customer. Select one of the following options from under Choose your message type:
