How Agents Use eMail Response
Agents receive incoming email messages in the Communications screen in the Inbound Item List view or when a work item is routed to the communications toolbar by Siebel Universal Queuing.
Agents select incoming email messages from their Communications list or accept messages using the communications toolbar. The way they reply to email depends on the way your organization chooses to implement eMail Response.
- Siebel eMail Response. Agents select appropriate templates or solutions, or compose free-form content.
- Siebel eMail Response with Siebel Smart Answer. Smart Answer reviews the intent of incoming messages and assigns a category and score that indicates how closely the incoming email matches the category. The agent reviews the incoming email's content and the suggested category. The agent might need only to verify the suggested category, select a solution or template that is associated with that category, and make additional comments before sending the reply to the customer.
If an agent is not satisfied with a category provided by Smart Answer, that agent can change the category for the message and use a different solution or template. Smart Answer records this change as feedback so that it can improve categorization accuracy.
With both implementations, an agent can attach useful literature or files to a reply, use the spell check feature to find spelling errors, and look for errors not found by the spell check feature. When the reply is finished, the agent sends it.
NOTE: If you have a Unicode database, each incoming email is converted to Unicode. When agents reply to incoming email, the replies are sent with a Unicode code page.
