Scripters are very crucial in your calls with the customers. They facilitate the collection of the necessary information and enable agents to follow a pre-defined flow during the calls.
In order to further increase the scripters' abilities, we enabled more system parameters to be inserted into scripter texts, thus making them more useful and dynamic. This will help you design more dynamic call flows for various use cases.
You can insert system variables in your scripter texts for places where the value for that particular text keeps changing by typing $[variable_name]. The variable will change specific to each call, making your scripter texts very dynamic.
Use Case:
Consider that it is crucial for your organization to have your agents say their names when they greet a customer on the call. You can write a scripter text just like the one below:
“Hello, my name is $agent ! How may I help you?”
With typing the phrase $agent the system automatically inserts the name of the agent on the call. For example, if John Doe is answering the call the text on his screen will look like this:
“Hello, my name is John Doe! How may I help you?”
Note:
On top of making the text dynamic, inserting variables to scripter texts helps you send them in a request to an API you specified in the POST button that you defined in the scripter menu.
