Stop

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

Stops a script when it's no longer needed, such as after processing an event. It does not terminate a contact. The contact remains in the state it was in prior to the Stop action. The only way to release a Stop action is to trigger an event such as ONSIGNAL ONSIGNAL, ONANSWER, ONHOLD, ONDATA, or ONRELEASE.

Stop is commonly used as a placeholder for branching events when the script has stopped running logic. Do not use this action if you need to terminate the script.

Supported Script Types

A square with a line branching from it that goes to three other squares.

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.
