 The Human Text Initiator (HTI) service enables agents (Clicker Agents) to manually launch text messages.

  • For assistance with an HTI configuration, contact the Account Team.
  • The HTI service enables agents other than Closer Agents to reply to SMS messages. Closer Agents are not required to launch the SMS messages.

Inbound

A service that receives and directs callers using a designated Interactive Voice Response (IVR). IB services can be configured to route to agent teams, to certain outbound services using service groups, to themselves using service routing, to voicemail boxes, a self-service IVR, or a combination of these.

Quick Connect (Auto)

An automated outbound service that immediately connects live answers with an available agent.

Unattended (Auto)

An automated outbound service that immediately connects with an IVR application. Regardless of the responses provided, the called party cannot be connected to an agent. 

Whisper (Auto)

10DMT (Manual)

A human-initiated service in which an agent must manually enter all ten digits of a telephone number on the keypad to launch a call. The agent is unable to copy and paste any numbers into the keypad. If the agent enters an incorrect number, the number is ignored and the screen remains unchanged until the agent enters the correct number. The call is launched when the agent enters the correct number.

If a consumer answers the call, the call is routed to the closer agent, who speaks with the consumer.
