Callback Requests
A callback request on site, or callback option, also known as virtual hold, allows a customer to leave their number when agents are busy and receive a return call when an agent is available — freeing up the customer’s time for other things. A web callback is initiated on a website by a customer.
When is a callback request important
With a callback request, you enable your customers to choose between waiting on hold in a queue or requesting a callback. When customers select callback, their places are held in the queue and their call is automatically returned when an agent is available to talk with them.
Web callback features allow a visitor to request a phone call from a company representative to obtain further information or answers to questions.
Typically, with web callback requests, a website visitor leaves his or her contact details, such as e-mail address or telephone number, in this case when a visitor clicks on the call back request button a notification in form of a text message Is sent on the administrator’s dashboard who takes the initiative to call back the client to find out what help they needed.
From your administrative dashboard, on the left main menu navigate to Callback Request under Accounts as shown in the below screenshot
