130Chapter 10 Setting up Routing Tables
Recording EWT greetings
The first step in setting up an EWT Table is recording EWT greetings. EWT greetings notify callers of their expected wait time in a skillset. Refer to “Recording a Call Center greeting” on page 109.
Examples of EWT greetings
Greeting 100 | Based on the current volume of calls, the next agent will be available in a |
| minimum of two minutes. |
|
|
Greeting 101 | The expected wait time for your call is approximately three minutes. |
|
|
Greeting 102 | We’re experiencing higher than normal call volumes. You will be waiting |
| approximately five minutes. |
|
|
Greeting 103 | The expected wait time for your call is approximately ten minutes. |
|
|
Greeting 150 | Thank you for continuing to hold. We are experiencing high call volumes. |
| Please stay on the line and your call will be answered by the next available |
| agent. |
|
|
In this example, greetings 100 - 103 are wait time intervals.
Greeting 150 is the last greeting in the table that covers any wait time situation.
All of the options available for a normal Greeting Step are available for the EWT greeting, such as Forced Play and Basic and Advanced Intelligent Caller Input Routing. Callers can interrupt an EWT greeting the same way they interrupt a normal greeting.
