Dialer outbound call with no agent

[verma62]

I am using campaign dialer to make outbound calls without any issue.

But here outbound calls are not made unless an agent is in available state, I m using mechanic dialer with power or progressive mode. It makes call only once agent is available irrespective of dial factor.

Does it means if no agent is available no call will be made from dialer?

yes. But you can use a dummy agent just for checking if there are free agents. An example can be find in the IPOCC ISO in folder Examples\Callflow Examples\dialer_automaticInfo(agentless) (IPOCC 9.1)

Hi Kruegerb,

I checked the shared example, and imported the taskflow and ivr flow but somehow its not working.

I think may be I am missing some configuration. I made an new Agent group with no agents assigned to it. But still automatically calls are not initiated for outbound dialer.

I am still lacking to find the way to override ODSI_Evaluation value while kernal is checking for free agent in the group.

Also what do you mean by Dummy Agent Check?

Create a new agent assign to agent group used in taskflow. Login the agent and sign on. This agent will now used for evaluation bju not for receiving calls, so I called him dummy agent.

Hi Kruegerb,

Now I got exactly what do you mean by dummy agent. Problem here is we have to arrange a physical machine where this agent can be logged in. I am not sure but think additional agent licenses can be taken care off, but definately multiple machines for 2-3 agents will be challange here.

As I understand dial factor have maximum value of 8, for progressive it will be automatically adjusted and be reduced. For power mode I am not sure if it will be further reduced also. So I believe atleast 2-3 free agents will be required and there is the challenge.

for this it would work simply to login the agent on phone via remote function in realtime information, you need not login in UI

Hi All,
In IPOCC Rls 10.1.2.3

my also automatic OB dialer is ok and connecting to playany IVR script.
am using ODSI_Evaluation == 1 in Task flow but issue is that IVR script start playing while dialing to OB caller, can it possible to wait till caller pick call then IVR script starts so that caller got IVR announcement from start?
