Callers Stuck in Wait Queue Even Thought Agents are Available

I’m curious if anyone has struggled with callers getting stuck in the wait queue, even though there are available agents. Here’s my situation:Call comes into IVR; callers presses 2 to talk to agent Rings to all available agents (2-4 logged in at a time) for :60. If agents are available but don’t answer (because they’re working on another ticket), go to Rollover Call Queue Play Wait Queue Message, append position to wait message Problem: The call only rings back to agents in a new call comes into the queue or if the agent moves into the “available” status.  If the agents finish their other ticket and can now take a call, they call may not ever ring to them again, meaning the caller is just stuck in the queue until the max time.  How do others handle this? Do you require your agents to stop working on calls and take the ticket? Do you separate duties so phone agents are never distracted by other tickets? Do you have agents flip their availability on and off to trigger the phone to ring

Abandoned Calls creating FreshDesk Tickets Automatically

I wish there was a configuration setting to stop FreshCaller from creating FreshDesk tickets for abandoned calls.  We don't run our call center 24x7 so we have several abandoned calls during off hours, and a few during operational hours.  The getting a couple of dozen unwanted tickets in FreshDesk every day for abandoned calls is annoying.  I love how it creates tickets for Voicemails, because that is an action item we need to follow up on.  However, calling back and abandoned call number rarely makes sense and we are not going to do it.  There are all kinds of reasons people hang up and us calling them back is not something we want to do.  If there were a simple flag that says, "create tickets for abandoned calls (yes,no)" so I have some control, that would be a great feature add and would reduce workload and frustration.

API limit Error 429

Hi, We have been using azure data factory to retrieve data from freshdesk for the past few month, without any issue, Since since two day, we are getting this error “The HttpStatusCode 429 indicates failure. Request URL:“ Has there been any change in throttling down the API limits. What are the limits though, cant seem to find this information anywhere.  I even tried retrieving data for just one day and it gives the same error. Can the API limit be increased /reset ?

Best Practices for Messages in IVR?

Does anyone have suggestions for how to improve our IVR messages? In particular, the wait queue and call back messages? Here’s my situation:Call goes into the queue Play wait queue for caller that says something like, “All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail.” Append queue position I’d like to enable callback so immediately after the queue position the Callback says something like, “Press 1 to remain in queue or press 2 to leave a voicemail.” If callers presses 1, it repeats the wait queue message above (#2) and the queue position.. over and over and over.This means the customer experience goes something like this: “All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…Press 1 to remain in queue or press 2 to leave a voicemail...All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…All agents are bu

Incoming Calls - skip call queue message

We just setup Freshcaller so our Receptionist can answer incoming calls. It placed it in a default queue that plays a greeting before attempting to ring and connect wiht the agent. Is there a way to skip the queue and just have it ring the agent directly with no recorded greeting.

Purchasing Local, Toll Free, and Mobile Australian Numbers.

I’m currently on trial with Freshdesk Estate Omnichannel to move my entire business to the freshworks suite and going through the new setup. I am unable to purchase FreshCaller numbers. It says “Contact Support”. I made a case yesterday and have yet to hear back on a resolution for what I thought was a simple request; If this is how a trial goes for a simple number purchase, what other issues can we expect from FreshWorks? My case is: #8782302

Frustrated at having to burn agent on admin account

I am a so-called solopreneur. As such, I consider even apparently small costs, since they all add up. I have just signed up to FreshCaller, with a single agent license. That license is supposed to be for a Virtual Assistant who handles phone-based customer support for me. I have just learned that my single agent license has to be used for my admin account. That makes no sense to me. I understand that I MAY wish to burn my agent license on my admin account (if I was actually making the calls), so that is a reasonable scenario. But being forced to use that agent account is not just frustrating but also a showstopper to me migrating over to FreshCaller. That said, I am hoping I have been misinformed and someone can tell me how to use my agent license for...well, an agent (not an admin).

Sending customer an account activation email

I seem to remember a button on the contacts page that lets us agents send our customers freshdesk account activation emails. What happened to the button, was it removed ?Situation : A customer creates an account but never receives the confirmation email, and doesn’t notify un until many months go by and calls us upset that they cannot get support and have no idea that we didn’t reply to him because he never got into the system to create a ticket.-In this case I had our Admin go in and assign him a disposable password so he could log in and create a ticket, reminding him he should go to his account settings and setup a password he could remember.

Service Level Reporting

Has anyone had trouble with Freshcaller's service level reporting? We've recently switched from Five9, and it seems like no matter how I try to calculate service level in Freshcaller we are consistently 5-10% lower than we should be. Even on a slower call volume day, our service level is still lower with Freshcaller. Any idea what I'm missing?

Enable your agents to attend calls from their mobile phones

Agents may not be available at their desk the entire time. To enable agents to take calls from their phone, you can use the call forwarding option. This means that agents don’t have to be at their desks always to receive phone calls. You can also ensure that calls are not missed due to the non-availability of agents at their desks. Feature name: Call forwardingHow to setup: Click on the status icon available next to your profile picture and set it as ‘Forward to phone’ Solves for: Missed calls, Mobility
