Contact Center

假设一个联络中心的运营时间在 8 点 30 分到 18 点之间,有四个客服人员可以接听使用多种语言的通话。可分配代理的班次有三种:8:30-16:30、9:00-17:00 和 10:00-18:00。根据之前的预测,我们发现每种语言的需求在一周中的某天会有所不同。星期一,通话通常用英语和葡萄牙语,因此需要至少有一个客服人员懂这些语言。在星期二,通话通常使用西班牙语和法语,因此需要至少一位客服人员精通这两种语言。无论使用哪种语言,都必须始终至少有两个代理可用。

每天几次调整

在此联络中心示例中,每天有三次班次,规划时间范围为两天。例如,特定星期一 8:30-16:30 的偏差表示为:

  {
    "shifts": [
      {
        "id": "Monday-2024-7-1 8:30-16:30",
        "startDateTime": {
          "year": 2024,
          "month": 7,
          "day": 1,
          "hours": 8,
          "minutes": 30
        },
        "endDateTime": {

        }
      }
    ]
  }

    ]
  }
  

将语言作为员工的技能

代理懂的语言表示为 skill。第一个代理 Laren 会说西班牙语和葡萄牙语,表示为:

  {
    "employees": [
      {
        "id": "Lauren",
        "role_ids": [
          "Agent"
        ],
        "skill_ids": [
          "ES",
          "PR"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }

您还可以添加其他类型的时间安排限制条件、轮班请求和员工偏好设置,如其他示例中所述。

全部 4 名员工的示例


  {
    "employees": [
      {
        "id": "Lauren",
        "role_ids": [
          "Agent"
        ],
        "skill_ids": [
          "ES",
          "PR"
        ]
      },
      {
        "id": "Markus",
        "role_ids": [
          "Agent"
        ],
        "skill_ids": [

        ]
      },
      {

          "Agent"
        ],
        "skill_ids": [

          "ES"
        ],
        "shiftRequests": [
          {
            "shiftIds": [
              "Monday-2024-7-1 10:00-18:00"
            ],
            "type": "STATUS_NOT_WORK"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "id": "Peter",
        "role_ids": [
          "Agent"
        ],
        "skill_ids": [
          "EN",
          "FR"
        ],
        "shiftPreferences": [
          {
            "shiftId": "Monday-2024-7-1 10:00-18:00",
            "preference": 1
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
  

针对代理和语言的需求覆盖率

覆盖范围要求体现了对代理或特定语言的需求。对两个代理的需求是在 roleRequirements 中指定的,而对语言的要求是在 skillRequirements 中指定的。星期一和星期二的覆盖率要求表示为:

          "year": 2024,
          "month": 7,
          "day": 2,

            "target_employee_count": 1,
            "priority": "PRIORITY_HIGH"
          }
        ],
        "skillRequirements": [
          {
            "skill_id": "ES",
            "target_employee_count": 1
          },
          {
            "skill_id": "FR",
            "target_employee_count": 1
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "role_ids": [

    ],
    "skill_ids": [
      "EN",
      "ES",
      "FR",
      "PR"
    ]
  }

请注意,所有角色和技能 ID 都必须在请求中定义。它们必须与用于定义员工的 ID 一致。
