Provide WhatsApp support integrated with Zendesk

By C Chaitanya
Ever since WhatsApp launched their business API last year, businesses have been waiting to enable the WhatsApp support channel. WhatsApp has slowly been rolling out API support to select businesses. Though most use cases have been around chat bots, there is a good use case for human agent support on the WhatsApp channel.

We at Ozonetel were one of the first companies which enabled agent support for the WhatsApp channel as soon as the business API released. You can read more about it at https://blog.kookoo.in/2018/08/kookoo-contact-center-integration-with.html.

Today we have improved the integration by connecting with Zendesk. So if you are serving your customers using Zendesk, you can easily enable WhatsApp channel for your customers. Your customers can chat with your agents directly on WhatsApp. We already have one of the best CTI integrations with Zendesk which you can install from the Zendesk marketplace, https://www.zendesk.com/apps/support/kookoo/

The same app can now be used by your agents for communicating over WhatsApp.

You get a full contact center setup with this integration. The following are some of the features:

1. Screen pop: When a customers starts communicating on WhatsApp, the corresponding tickets of the customer will be popped up to the agent automatically. This will enable the agent to get the context and service the customer better.

2. Ticket integration: All your WhatsApp chats will be automatically stored as Zendesk tickets.

3. Chat routing: Our famous agent routing algorithm is applied to WhatsApp chats as well. Skill based routing, priority routing etc are applied to the chats so the customers reach the right agent at the right time. Connect your Telugu customers to your Telugu agents and your English customers to English agents. Chat in your local languages.

4. Bot integration: To top it all off, start the conversation with your chat bots and then if the bots are not able to answer the queries, transfer them seamlessly to the live agents.

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

By C Chaitanya
Arborjs  is a cool graph visualization library. Angular  is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to ...

Google business messages and chat agents-A match made in heaven

By C Chaitanya
Google has launched Google business messages without much fanfare. It's just a small button that pops up when someone searches for your business on Google. But from the conversation industry perspective this is HUGE .   Do you know that the small call button drives millions of calls i n a year for pizza joints and other retailers in the US. Businesses spend more than a trillion dollars supporting billions of customer service calls each year. Now imagine how many chat conversations the "Message" button can drive.  Think of how customers interact with business. 1. Search on Google. 2. Click on web site link. 3. Web site shows chat pop up and tries to force the user to chat.(Annoying. I know :)) 4. User clicks on chat and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. This flow can now be completely changed. The new flow can be: 1. Search on Google. 2. User clicks on Message and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. What if you could design a customer experience that helps...
