Integration between Cisco Contact Center and ServiceNow
The embedded CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) Connector provides call and agent state controls within Service Now, eliminating the need for agents to switch between applications. This third-party CTI link happens at the server level between Service Now and Finesse Server, so no component needs to be installed/ configured on the agent's side. What sets the Expertflow solution apart from other CRM connectors is that we also provide controls for chat and digital channels. Secondly, agents can receive phone calls directly through a WebRTC webphone embedded in your CRM, without requiring a physically installed softphone or hardphone.
Customer information screen-pop
Any information in UCCE such as ANI, DNIS, and ECC variables can be used to pop up a customer profile. The example to the right shows this toolbar within ServiceNow
1. Screen pop with incoming call.
2. Show multiple customers mapping a callerID or variable set from ICM.
3. Show customer details information if callerID or variable.
CTI Call controls
Controls/buttons on the toolbar change based on the current state of the agent/call and on the telephony event fired from the contact center. The agent can perform the following actions,
- Accept an incoming call
- Hold/Resume/Release call
- Consultative or blind call transfer
- Conference call.
- Call wrap-up
* blind transfer in case of CCX only supported in 11.6 or higher.
Agent State Controls
The CTI toolbar within ServiceNow also allows the agents to manage their states. The following state controls are supported,
- Login
- Logout
- Logout with reason code
- Ready, Not Ready, Not Ready with reason code
