Function documentationCreating Alerts

 

You can create alerts in the CRM WebClient user interface that use system information to provide agents with information they may need during customer interactions.

Note Note

Preconfigured alerts are not delivered. Interaction center managers define alerts in the Alert Editor and assign them through rule policies. Alerts are created independent of any rule policy context.

End of the note.

Alerts can only be triggered in the Intent-Driven Interaction context. This context allows you to automate specific interaction center functions, for example, triggering and terminating alerts, via business rules. Interaction center alerts are not relevant for other rule policy contexts.

Integration

Depending on the alerts that you create, you can incorporate alert information from SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) or Interaction Center (IC) WebClient functions. The alert modeler can check customer information both in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and in the BI. If information is found that could affect the current interaction, agents are alerted by automatically displaying alerts.
