The integration with Twilio Flex Insights allows Calabrio to regularly access and consume data sets that include agent performance and queue statistics. - Real-Time Adherence Feed
The near real-time event stream provides Calabrio agent (worker) status and activity updates. For example, when agents become available to receive calls or set their status to Break. - TaskRouter Integration
