Add and assign skills to an agent

Assign skills to an agent to more efficiently match the right agents with callers, according to the selections the caller makes prior to entering a queue.

Skills are part of our Intelligent Call Routing enhancement for call queues. The skills you assign to your agents will be what you choose from in the caller info nodes when creating your dial plan and recording your sound clip for the option menu your callers select from.

Before you begin: You must be set up as a user and be assigned the Admin role. This can also be done from your admin portal if you have access permissions.
  1. Sign in to our GoTo desktop or web app.
    Note: You can also assign skills in the admin portal. Watch video!
  2. From Contact Center > General settings > Skills assignment.
