Set Up a Safety Net for CXone Bots

There may be times when a bot A software application that handles customer interactions in place of a live human agent. responds more slowly due to network issues or other factors. A safety net prevents any bot slowness from having a negative impact on your SLA Commitment between a service provider and a customer with a defined service level threshold, including quality, availability, and responsibilities or your customer experience. Safety nets use digital workflow automation.

Follow the tasks on this page to create a safety net that:

• Waits 30 seconds for the bot to respond to a customer message Anything a contact says in a bot interaction, whether question or statement, written or spoken..
• If no message is received, sends the customer a response that they are being routed to an agent and reroutes the interaction to a live agent queue Digital First equivalent of a skill; routes each contact to an agent assigned to handle that type of contact.
• Tags the interaction so you can easily find it in the future and troubleshoot any root causes for the bot delay.

This is one example of how to create safety net. Your organization may want to use other digital workflow automation options to design a unique safety net. No matter which options you use, the process of setting up a safety net will follow the general process described on this page.
