Interacties simuleren in Studio

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

This section describes a general, high-level process for simulating interactions in CXone. This process applies to interactions on most channelsGesloten Een manier waarop contacten kunnen communiceren met agents of bots, zoals spraak (telefoon), e-mail, chat, social media enzovoort.. 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 skillsGesloten Skills worden gebruikt om de aanlevering van interacties te automatiseren op basis van de vaardigheden, capaciteiten en kennis van de agent, campaigns, and points of contactGesloten Het toegangspunt dat een inbound contact gebruikt om een interactie te starten, zoals een telefoonnummer of e-mailadres. 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, check the syntax of the script you're testing. Correct any issues.
  2. In Studio, enable the option to trace or capture the next instance of the script running. You can also have Studio continuously trace and capture all instances of the script running.
  3. In CXone, create a campaign to use in testing.
  4. In CXone, create an ACD skill to use in testing. The skill must: 
  5. 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 digitalGesloten Kanaal, contact of skill verbonden met Digital Experience. 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.
  6. If you're testing the complete interaction, sign into de agentapplicatie 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.
  7. In the agentapplicatie, set your state to Available. For example, in MAX, you must connect the agent leg.
  8. 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 digitalGesloten Kanaal, contact of skill verbonden met Digital Experience. channels, you can find more information in the Digital section of the online help.
  9. 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 de agentapplicatie.
    • Digitaal 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 de agentapplicatie. Dial a number connected to a phone you can answer.
    • Inbound phone to test voicemail: Call the DNISGesloten Dit is het nummer dat een klant heeft gebeld om uw organisatie te bereiken (inbound), of het nummer dat de agent of het systeem heeft gebeld om een klant te bereiken (outbound). 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 de agentapplicatie to an address you have access to.
  10. Use the Trace Output window and use the trace output window to watch as the actions in your script fire.

Inbound telefooninteracties simuleren in Studio

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

Simulating a phone interaction requires an ACDskillGesloten Skills worden gebruikt om de aanlevering van interacties te automatiseren op basis van de vaardigheden, capaciteiten en kennis van de agent 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. Open in Studio het script dat u wilt testen.
  2. Klik op een lege plek op het canvas om mogelijk geselecteerde acties te deselecteren en klik dan op het tabblad Properties.

  3. Selecteer een inbound telefoonACD-skillGesloten Skills worden gebruikt om de aanlevering van interacties te automatiseren op basis van de vaardigheden, capaciteiten en kennis van de agent vanaf de vervolgkeuzelijst Skill.
  4. Voer onder Inbound, de PhoneNumber in die het script moet aanroepen. Dit moet het nummer zijn van een telefoon die u kunt beantwoorden tijdens het testen.
  5. Dubbelklik in het veld Simulate Inbound om de waarde te wijzigen naar True.
  6. Als uw test vertrouwt op een specifieke datum of tijd: 
    1. Dubbelklik in het veld SimulateDateTime om de waarde te wijzigen naar True.
    2. Selecteer de datum en tijd die u wilt gebruiken voor de test in het veld SimulationDateTimeValue.
    3. Wijzig de SimulationTimeZone, indien dat nodig is voor deze test.
  7. U kunt een ANI of DNIS opgeven voor de test.
  8. Klik op Start with Trace in de Studio-werkbalk.
  9. Beantwoord de oproep wanneer u telefoon rinkelt en voert de acties uit die nodig zijn om uw script te testen. Als u bijvoorbeeld de IVR test, wilt u deze stappen wellicht zo vaak als nodig is herhalen om elke menuoptie te testen.
  10. Gebruik het venster Traceer uitvoer om te kijken wanneer de acties in uw script worden geactiveerd.

Simuleer een inbound telefooninteractie met MAX

Required permissions: ACD > Studio > Scripts > Debuggen

You can simulate an inbound phone interaction with an agentapplicatie. This allows you to test the parts of your script after Onanswer triggers.

You can use any supported agentapplicatie. The following task describes using MAX.

  1. Complete the steps to set up a simulated inbound phone interaction up through step 7. Don't click Start with Trace in Studio until you've completed the remaining steps in this task.
  2. Launch MAX.
  3. Enter the number of a phone you can use right now. If possible, use a different phone number from the one you configured in the script. If Integrated Softphone or stations are set up, you can use those options instead.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. Set your state to Available and click Connect to connect the agent leg.
  6. When your phone rings, answer it. This is the phone that is the agent's side of the interaction.
  7. In Studio, click Start with Trace.
  8. When your phone rings, answer it. This is the phone that is the contact's side of the conversation.
  9. Using the contact's phone, follow the prompts and complete the required testing.
  10. Use the Trace Output window to watch as the actions in your script fire.
