Closing a Call Center

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 contact 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 contact flow at which you want CCC to be enabled. 

Setup

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