Agent-owned records allow agents to work through accounts assigned directly to them in a preview campaign.

By linking agents’ email addresses or user IDs to specific records, the campaign assigns each record to its listed agent. This action allows agents to work on assigned accounts in such areas as collections, sales, and patient management.

The following video walks you through an overview of agent-owned records for preview campaigns:

Setting up agent-owned records

To run a preview campaign with agent-owned records, first configure Preferred Agent Routing on your queues for agent-owned routing to work properly. For more information, see Preferred agent routing behavior and Advanced routing overview.

Next, include a column in your contact list for the email addresses or user IDs of the agents associated to each record. For more information, see Create a new contact list.

When the contact list is complete with a column for the agent, follow the steps in Create a preview campaign.

After you upload the campaign list, select the agent-specific column from the Agent Owned Column list.

How it works

When a preview campaign with agent-owned records is running, the records distribute to the assigned agents, creating a queue-like state for each agent.

You cannot sort the contact list by agent in Contact Sorting. You can sort by other columns.

Agents receive their records in the order that you sort them. They can choose to contact the customer or skip the record.

You can recycle a campaign with agent-owned records, even if one or more agents have not completed their lists. Any unfinished lists start at the beginning and the agent can skip the records previously handled.

From the Voice Campaigns view, preview campaigns with agent-owned records are identified with the agent-owned icon . Click this icon to monitor campaigns for errors, such as: invalid email addresses, user IDs, or agent is not a member of the campaign queue. Errors cause the record not to be delivered to an agent.
