Quality Monitoring

The Quality Monitor can be used to measure the quality of experience of a dialogue, also known as Agent Rating or Quality Rating.

If enabled the Customer will hear one (or multiple) questions at the end of a conversation. The customer can rate the call by pressing a numeric key (maximum range from 1 - 9, but lesser ranges are configurable) or rate a chat with a response. The question played before and the message which get played after the customer rates the dialogue, can be edited in the Quality monitoring list.

Note

A Small Business license or greater is required for these features.
