Title: Outbound Campaign Schedule
Post by: PFCCWA on June 20, 2013, 09:22:43 AM

Hello,

I have a customer who would like schedule campaigns (Preview) based on different times of the day.
It is something like this:
campaign A run between 9-11 AM, then again 12-1 then again between 4-6 PM.
campaign B runs between 1-3 PM, then again 4-6 PM.
campaign C runs between 10-12 AM, then again 3-4 PM.
campaign D runs all day 9 AM to 6 PM however is a lesser priority than the others when they are running.
All campaigns are assigned to the same agent group.

Initially I thought about campaign sequencing however can only select 1 campaign at a time.
Also had option of start/from times in calling list however i think this is only possible for 1 set of times unless we manually keep amending.
is there a way to achieve this without manual intervention?
Since they are a preview dialling team it might more sensible to run all campaigns without a time restriction and ask agent to dial based on the scheduled times - but we would prefer that control to be at the dialler end.
Using Genesys 8.

thanks.

Hi there
latest OCS service have the rich HTTP-based inteface that proviode to customer full control of their work. So in general you can use any shell script language, like VBasic or Perl, to write a small cmd for control the campaign status. Then bind it with you system scheduler and voilà - you had to ahived you needs.

Did You try outbound schedules and use of multiple agent group with same agent skill expression to have multiple campaigns?

Outbound schedules I think wont work as you have to specify a day...can't find how to do it all the days except saturday and sunday for example

Schedules in new version allow to specify days - select "Recurrence" to "Weekly" and then You can specify specific days of week.

Using OCM or Genesys Administrtaor?

Administrator of course :). Personally I don't see reason to use OCM anymore - Administrator is faster, has more features and shows nicely basic stats to manage campaigns in one place

Faster? Well...don't know...I hate the fact that when you go to lists they are listed in the drop down with no specific order, so searching for a specific one can be a pain if you have many many lists.

Thanks :) Will check it there

I do not know how by you, but in my GA are CL sorted in ascending order.

So, I think that bublepaw is right and his way is the best at this moment. Lets try it and let us know :-)

This is what we needed to achieve the objective.

However when I have set up the scheduled items (in 1 outbound schedule), the agents can still access a campaign, which is also showing as running even though it is stopped within GA operations.

I have 4 campaigns, with their own calling list.
Do I need 4 agent groups?
Currently I use 1 agent group (effectively the same campaign group across all campaigns) because 1 whole team is dialling from all the campaigns.

edit...
works on interaction workspace 8.1.4
not on GAD 7.6.4!

thanks,
