Core Features & Behaviors

Feature

Description

Click to Call

Standard CTI Click-to-Call (C2C) – Agents can initiate outbound calls directly from the Zendesk interface using the integrated click-to-call option.

Screen Pop

When a call connects to the agent, CloudAgent searches Zendesk using the customer’s phone number.

• If a match is found, a ticket is created and opened.

• The search logic and screen pop behavior are managed by the integrated CTI layout and app settings.

Ticket Creation/Update

A new ticket is created when the call connects, based on configurations in the CloudAgent portal and the Zendesk app settings.

• If ticket creation fails (e.g., due to field mismatches or request/response issues), CloudAgent will retry at later events such as agent busy, call drop, or disposition.

• Once created, ticket fields are updated dynamically during subsequent call events, as per the configured settings.
