Our Dialpad Support and Dialpad Sell products or Call Centers give teams more flexibility when it comes to customer support and call routing. Call Center features include:
- Flexible routing options
- Real-time dashboard and service alerts
- Real-time coaching via listen-in, barge, and take over
- Customizable Hold Queue rules & limits
Let's take a quick look at how you'd create a new Call Center in Dialpad Support and Dialpad Sell.
Create a Call Center
To get started, navigate to Dialpad.com > Admin Settings > Call Centers > Add a Call Center
After creating your Call Center, you'll be able to add local or toll-free numbers as well as add a fax number (additional charges apply).
Purchase Call Center Licenses
Before you can assign users as Agents or Reps to a Call Center, you'll need to purchase either Dialpad Support or Dialpad Sell licenses for each user.
You'll see this option under Billing as well as under Admin Settings > Office > Licenses > Buy Licenses
Just purchase the number of licenses you'll need for each active agent that you plan on adding to a Call Center.
Add Agents and Admins
Next, you'll need to assign team members as Agents to make and receive calls on your Call Center. Here's how:
- First, you want to make sure you've added Team Members to your Dialpad Account
- Once the team members have been added to your account, navigate to your Call Center > Agents & Admins > Add people from your Team
- If desired, select either Make Supervisor or Make Admin from the drop-down
Call Center Supervisors have all the access as an Agent or Rep with the ability to utilize coaching metrics like Listen In, Barge In, and Take Over, as well as access the dashboard and set alerts.
Call Center Admins have all of the above-mentioned access in addition to being able to edit Call Center settings.
