LiveVox Call Center Closure (CCC) is a feature that enables you to quickly allow or restrict inbound calls at the call center level. For example, if a complete closure of your operations has occurred due to inclement weather or an all-hands meeting, a call center administrator can play an appropriate message to callers dialing into the closed call center. 

Requirement

Setting up CCC involves modifying your call flows. To set up CCC, contact the LiveVox Customer Care Team with the inbound services for which you want CCC to be enabled, including the stage in the call flow at which you want CCC to be enabled. 

You cannot close a call center immediately through the mode described in this section unless the CCC setup is completed in advance. If you want to close a call center immediately, consider changing your inbound call center hours. For more information, see Changing Inbound Call Center Hours.

Setup

After the LiveVox Customer Care Team completes the CCC setup, they provide you with the call flow for which CCC is enabled and the message associated with the CCC call flow. You can then control the activities of your call center by performing the following steps as required.

I. Viewing a CCC Call Flow

To view the call flow for which CCC is enabled:

  1. On the Configure tab, go to Messaging > Call Flows.
    The Call Flows window appears.
  2. In the Call Flow field, select the CCC call flow.
    A graphical representation of the CCC call flow appears on the Call Flows tab.

II. Viewing or Creating a CCC Message

    The Services window appears.

    The CCC message is assigned to the inbound service.

You can assign the same CCC message to all services or a different CCC message to each service.

IV. Viewing or Modifying a CCC Message

You can modify a message only if you have sufficient user rights. For information about roles and permissions, see the User Roles and Permissions section of Product Documentation.

To view or modify the CCC message:

  1. On the Configure tab, go to Messaging > Messages.
    The Messages window appears.
  2. In the Message(s) field, select the CCC message.
    A graphical representation of the CCC message appears on the Visual tab.
  3. Identify the module that contains the CCC message (verbiage).

    • To identify the module, first, identify the condition module where the CCC check is performed, and then follow the success connector originating from the identified condition module.
    • If you cannot identify the module, contact the LiveVox Customer Care Team.
  4. Double-click the identified module.
    The property window appears.
  5. Double click the row displaying the phrases property.
    The phrase window appears.
  6. If required, modify the message, and then click Ok.
  7. In the property window, click Ok.
  8. Click Save.
    The message is modified.

V. Closing a Call Center

To close a call center:

  1. On the Configure tab, go to Services > Call Centers.
    The Call Centers window appears.
  2. In the Call Center field, select the call center that you want to close.
  3. On the General tab, clear the Call Center Open checkbox, and then click Save.
    The call center is closed.

To reopen the call center, select the Call Center Open checkbox, and then click Save.

  • A CCC message retains the same verbiage until it is reconfigured. If a call center closes again, the message that was played the last time the call center was closed is played again to the callers, unless the CCC message is modified after the previous closure.
  • When a call center is closed, the CCC message supersedes the standard closed behavior of the call flow (IVR) message. When the call center is open, ensure that the Call Center Open checkbox is selected so that the standard message is played to the callers, instead of the CCC message.
