Simulate Interactions in CXone Studio

Simulating interactions allows you to test the performance of your scripts. By combining a simulated interaction with script tracing, you can see if the script is doing what you expect it to. If it's not working correctly, the script traces can help you discover the reasons.

Required permissions: ACD > Studio > 스크립트 > 디버그 ; ACD > Contact Settings > Points of Contact > Create; ACD > Contact Settings > Campaigns > Create; ACD > Contact Settings > Skills > Create

This section describes a general, high-level process for simulating interactions in CXone. This process applies to interactions on most channels 컨택이 상담원이나 Bot과 인터랙션하는 방법입니다. 채널은 음성, 이메일, 채팅, 소셜 미디어 등이 될 수 있습니다.. You can follow these steps to simulate phone interactions. However, it's faster to simulate phone interactions directly from the Studio script.

Depending on the CXone features or products you want to test, you may need to modify the simulation setup process. If you experience difficulty in simulating interactions, refer to the online help for the products or features you use for information about setting them up. There may be a required step that's not included in the generalized instructions provided in this section.

The steps below describe creating ACD skills 상담원 스킬, 능력 및 지식에 기반한 인터랙션의 전달을 자동화하는 데 사용됩니다., campaigns, and points of contact 인바운드 컨택이 인터랙션을 개시하는 데 사용되는 진입점(예: 전화번호, 이메일 주소)입니다. set up for use in testing. If your organization already has these set up, you don't need to create them again. You can skip steps as needed.

You must have the appropriate permissions to perform the tasks described in this section. If you do not, your CXone administrator may be able to help complete some of the tasks. If you test products and features not included in this section, you may need other permissions in addition to the ones mentioned above.

1. In Studio, start a trace or a live contact capture.
2. In CXone, create a campaign to use in testing.
3. In CXone, create an ACD skill to use in testing. The skill must: 
   • Match the media type 음성, 이메일 및 채팅처럼 컨택이 지정된 수신인과 연결되는 매체입니다. of the script you're testing. For example, for an email script, you must have an email ACD skill. Refer to the online help for the type of channel you're using for information about creating ACD skills.
   • Be assigned to a CXone user account you have access to.
4. In CXone, create a point of contact for use in testing. When setting up the point of contact, select the script you're testing and the test ACD skill you're using. If you're testing a digital Digital Experience에 연결된 모든 채널, 컨택 또는 스킬입니다. script, set up a digital point of contact by adding a digital channel. Configure it with a test ACD skill and the script you're testing.
5. If you're testing the complete interaction, sign into 상담원 애플리케이션 your organization uses using the account you assigned the test ACD skill to previously. The CXone profile you use may need permissions or settings enabled to use the features or products you're testing.
6. In the 상담원 애플리케이션, set your state to Available. For example, in MAX, you must connect the agent leg.
7. Ensure that the channel you're using with the script is set up and configured. Refer to the online help for the channel if you need to complete setup. If you use digital Digital Experience에 연결된 모든 채널, 컨택 또는 스킬입니다. channels, you can find more information in the Digital section of the online help.
8. Simulate the interaction. How you do this depends on the channel and type of script you're using. For example: 
   • Chat channel (non-digital): Copy the point of contact URL from the Point of Contact page in CXone to a browser. This launches the chat window. You can send a message through the chat window and answer it in 상담원 애플리케이션.
   • 디지털 chat: Go to the Initialization & Test page in the channel properties for your Live Chat or Chat Messaging channel. Use the chat bubble that appears on that page to send test messages through the channel. Alternatively, if the chat channel you're testing is already live or has been added to a testing webpage, you can use that chat window instead.
   • Other digital channels: The method of testing will depend on the channel you're using. In many cases, you can launch the appropriate chat window or application and send a message. Consult the testing documentation offered by your channel provider, such as Facebook, Google, Apple, and so on.
   • SMS channel: Send a text message from the agent application to a mobile phone number you have access to. If your organization supports inbound SMS interactions, send a text message to the SMS number associated with the channel you're testing.
   • Manual outbound phone: Make a call from 상담원 애플리케이션. Dial a number connected to a phone you can answer.
   • Inbound phone to test voicemail: Call the DNIS 인바운드 음성 통화를 위해 연결된 컨택 수와 상담원 또는 아웃바운드 음성 통화에서 연결된 시스템 수를 확인합니다. associated with the channel and leave a voicemail when prompted. You can also do this by simulating an inbound phone interaction from within Studio. Both methods of testing require a script that has a voicemail option.
   • Email: To test inbound email, send an email to the email address associated with the channel. To test outbound email, send an email from 상담원 애플리케이션 to an address you have access to.
9. Start a trace and use the trace output window to watch as the actions in your script fire.

Simulate Inbound Phone Interactions in Studio

The steps in this task allow you to test the parts of your script before the Onanswer action. To test the parts of your script from Onanswer on, you must include an 상담원 애플리케이션 in your simulation. You will need a CXone user account that has permissions to use that 애플리케이션.

Simulating a phone interaction requires an ACDskill 상담원 스킬, 능력 및 지식에 기반한 인터랙션의 전달을 자동화하는 데 사용됩니다. to use in the test. You may want to create a skill specifically to use in testing. It must be:

• An inbound phone skill.
• Assigned to a CXone user account to which you have access.

1. CXone에서 앱 선택기 를 클릭하고 선택합니다.옴니채널 라우팅 > Studio .
2. 스크립트를 열거나 새 스크립트를 생성합니다.
3. Click Trace > Start with Trace.
4. Select an inbound phone ACD Skill.
5. To add parameter values to use during this test, enter them in the Parameters field. Enter one value per line. The values you enter map to parameters P1 through Pn, where n is the number of the last parameter value you add.
6. Select Simulate Inbound Call.
7. Enter the Phone Number you want the script to dial. This must be the number of a phone you can answer during testing. This line represents the contact calling your organization.
8. Enter the DNIS for this channel. This is the number the contact would dial to reach your organization. You can use the phone number of another phone you have access to for this number. This line represents the agent leg 상담원과 CXone 간에 이루어지는 인터랙션의 일부입니다..
9. Enter an ANI. The ANI is the phone number listed as the caller ID of an incoming phone call.
10. If your test relies on a specific date or time: 
    1. Click Simulate Date & Time.
    2. Select the date and time you want to use for the test.
    3. To change the time zone that applies for this test, select a time zone from the Default Business Unit Time Zone drop-down.
11. Click Start Trace.
12. Answer the call when your phone rings and perform the actions needed to test your script. For example, if testing the IVR, you may want to repeat these steps as many times as it takes to test each menu option.
13. Use the Trace Output window to watch as the actions in your script fire.
