AT&T 555-230-520 manual Example 6 Claims Vector

Insurance Agency/Service Agency

Step 1 queues the call to the main split. If the main split is currently answering calls within the target time of 30 seconds Step 2 bypasses all of the backup splits and goes directly to the announcement in Step 6. The assumption is that the call will be handled by split 10 within the time constraints. However, if the call is not answered by the time vector processing reaches Step 8, the backup splits are checked at that time.

If the rolling ASA for the main split is greater than 30 seconds, Steps 3, 4, and 5 check backup splits. The call is queued to any of these splits that have a rolling ASA of 30 seconds or less. If the call still is not answered by the time vector processing reaches Step 8, then the backup splits are checked again.

The following vector could be used to route claims calls by area code.

1.goto step 10 if ani = none

2.goto vector 21 if ani = 201+

3.goto vector 22 if ani = 212+

5.goto vector 24 if ani in table 2

Figure 11-7. Example 6: Claims Vector

Each Vector Routing Table referred to in Figure 11-7contains a list of area codes with the “ +” wildcard. Each list of area codes is handled by a specific group of agents. Vectors 21 through 27 queue calls to the appropriate group of agents. Vector 30 provides a live agent to screen calls that have area codes not listed in any table or vector step. It also provides access to an agent when ANI is not available and the caller has not entered an area code when prompted.
