Email Campaign Configuration Details

Overview

An email campaign involves contact centre agents receiving emails from an email channel, and replying to them. The details of the mailbox from which the emails are retrieved, and sent, are defined in Email Channels.

The purpose of Email Campaigns is to provide a destination for these emails, which will be automatically delivered to the email channels based on the email filters defined in the email channel.

All Email Records can be viewed in Emails.

See Create a simple email campaign to understand the many elements that must be combined into a working email campaign.

1. Add an Email Campaign

This feature allows you to create and maintain email campaigns.

Open the Workspace.
Select Configuration from the Campaigns menu.
1. To add a new campaign:
  - Click New Campaign.
  - Select Email from the drop-down selection list.
  - Click Next. The Edit Email Campaign dialog opens.

The fields that need to be defined in an email campaign are:

Campaign Title	Enter a meaningful name for the campaign. Note Do not include quotation marks in the campaign name.
Campaign Description	Enter the description of the campaign.
Campaign Group	Select a Campaign Group from the drop down selection list.
Allow free-format emails	Click this checkbox if you want to allow agents to send free-format emails - that is, emails that are not based on a pre-defined email template. Otherwise, agents will have to select one of the email templates assigned to the campaign as the basis of their reply email.
Require email address confirmation	Click this checkbox to alert users if they use an email address that doesn't pass standard email format rules (Eg it doesn't have an '@' symbol or it contains a comma). A note appears saying: "The input email address 'abc@mailserver.com' appears to be invalid. Please confirm that you do want to use this email address, by pressing OK, or press Cancel and go back and correct it." Please note that you can only use ',' or ';' as a delimiter between emails addresses, if you use a space you will get this error too, although the email will still send.
Allow put back to queue	Click this checkbox if you want to allow agents to return emails to the queue after they have taken one
Allow move to another campaign	Click this checkbox if you want to allow agents to move an email to another campaign
Allow save as a draft	Allows agents to save an email in "draft" format to enable them to take a call and then return to the email
Email Channel	Use the drop down selection list to nominate the email channel that this campaign will use. The first option in the list is the Organisation Default Email Campaign, which is set in the Settings section in Administration.
Service Level Period	Input the period, in seconds, against which the Service Level metric for this campaign is calculated. For example, if the target Service Level is "80% of emails answered within 180 seconds", then the Service Level Period is 180 seconds.
