Digital Channels in Issabel Contact Center: A Powerful Omnichannel Experience
In today’s customer service landscape, digital channels are no longer optional — they are essential. At Issabel, we understand this need, which is why our Contact Center platform includes robust, integrated support for multiple messaging apps.
Here’s a closer look at how digital interactions are managed within Issabel Contact Center.
Unified Agent Console with WebPhone Pro
Agents work from a central console where WebPhone Pro is available for traditional voice calls — including manual dialing — and for managing digital conversations. Supported digital channels include:
- Telegram
- SMS (via selected providers)
- WebChat
Messages from all these channels arrive in a shared queue, ensuring they are efficiently distributed among agents in a workgroup.
Smart Interactions: Bots, Routing, and Transfers
Upon receiving a new message, the system can trigger a bot interaction. For example, bots can:
- Greet customers in their preferred language.
- Route conversations based on user input.
- Respect business hours by sending automated out-of-office replies.
- Transfer chats to live agents with full context and history preserved.
Conversations can also be reassigned manually to other agents or groups, allowing flexible, real-time management of customer service workflows.
Rich Media Support
Agents can:
- Send and receive voice messages (on channels like WhatsApp, where Meta limits voice/video calls).
- Share documents, images, links, and emojis.
- Use quick replies to accelerate response times and maintain consistency.
Supervisor Tools and Whisper Messaging
Supervisors can monitor ongoing chats in real time and even send whisper messages — private notes visible only to the agent — to guide them without disrupting the customer interaction.
Once a session ends, it can be categorized and closed for tracking and analytics purposes.
Performance Analytics at Your Fingertips
Supervisors and administrators have access to detailed reporting, including:
- Chat volume per channel and per agent.
- Resolved vs unresolved conversations.
- Average resolution and response times.
- Full conversation history with export options.
For example, metrics may show that WhatsApp leads in volume (especially in Latin America), with measurable improvements in response time over specific periods.
Broadcast Campaigns: Direct Outreach
Issabel Contact Center also supports broadcast messaging for WhatsApp and SMS, allowing you to:
- Reach out proactively to segmented audiences.
- Track delivery status and success rates.
- Analyze campaign performance with clear, actionable insights.
AI Chatbot Integration
Taking automation a step further, Issabel supports AI chatbot integration with:
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Groq
- Deepseek
By configuring a simple prompt and linking an API key, you can deploy conversational bots powered by the latest large language models (LLMs) to your digital channels.
These bots can:
- Answer common queries.
- Collect data before transferring to an agent.
- Navigate menus and options via WebChat.
Issabel Contact Center brings true omnichannel engagement to your fingertips — combining voice, messaging, automation, and analytics in a seamless platform. Whether your customers reach out via WhatsApp, Telegram, WebChat, or SMS, your team will be ready.
