End a Contact

This help page is for Desktop Studio. This information is also available for CXone Studio.

Designed to terminate an active contact based on the unique contact ID. This can be used in any media type or channel and forces the active contact to conclude upon proper execution. Typical uses cases would be in emergency scenarios, clearing stuck contacts from queue, terminating a specific script (i.e. spawned), or when using API calls to run your agent application.

If terminating a specific script, you can use the End action. To terminate an active voice contact within the same script, you can use the End a Contactaction.

Comparison of Similar Actions

The following actions have similar functions, but with some key differences: 

  • Discard : Terminates an email script.
  • End : Terminates a phone, voicemail, SMS, or digital script. Does not terminate a digital contact, but terminates contacts in scripts with other media types.
  • End a Contact: Terminates the active contact. Does not terminate the current script.
  • EndText: Terminates an SMS workflow that doesn't include a Regagent action (for digitalClosed Any channel, contact, or skill associated with Digital Experience. channels only).
  • EndWi: Terminates a work item with a cause code. Does not terminate the current script.
  • Exit : Terminates a chat session and disconnects the chat contact.
  • Hangup : Terminates a phone script.
  • Return : Terminates a subscript and returns control to the originating script.

Do not use the Stop action to end a script. It does not terminate the script and leaves contacts running. This has a negative impact on the CXone servers.
