  1. Introduction

Dynamic Call Agent (DCA)

Dynamic Call Agent or 'DCA' is a feature which allows Service Numbers to automatically hunt to a number of end points based on their call status (engaged, out of service etc.) and also a secondary user defined status.

DCA uses a common call centre terminology:

  • End points are referred to as Agents

  • One or many Agents can be assigned to a hunt group known as a Skillset

  • A Service can be built to route calls to a Skillset using the DCA node

  • A Service Number can then be pointed at that Service to allow calls to be routed to the Skillset and to the most appropriate Agent

If you would like access to the DCA service please contact your Service Provider to discuss this.

DCA will be provided against an account with a “Maximum Signed In Agent” limit. You can create as many Agents as you wish, but only the value of “Maximum Signed In Agents” can be Signed In concurrently. If an Agent tries to sign in and this breaches the maximum limit, an error message will be received.
