Integrar Flex en Puzzel WFM

Puzzel WFM provides an easy-to-use, cloud-based platform which enables forecasting, scheduling, and adherence monitoring for your entire Twilio Flex contact center workforce. The solution is specifically designed to increase agent retention, reduce administrative overheads, and increase productivity. Puzzel WFM can be set up in just days and is fully integrated with Twilio Flex.

Overview

This guide lists the prerequisites and all tasks that are required to complete the integration setup. However, please note that detailed instructions for tasks marked with an asterisk are available through the Puzzel Help Centre.

Useful Terms

The following Puzzel WFM terms are useful when completing this guide:

• Campaign: feature that is used to group and schedule agents who share the same Skills or Skill Sets. Campaigns can represent departments, services that you offer, or other company entities.
• Full Time Equivalent (FTE): number of hours that comprise a full-time work week for an employee in your contact center.
• Site: location of the contact center. Contact centers can have multiple sites.
• Custom Activity Types: activities that you create in Puzzel WFM to map to the TaskRouter activities in your Flex Workspace. Mapping activities is required for Real-Time Adherence. You do not need to create custom activities for the pre-populated TaskRouter activities “Offline”, “Available”, and “Break”.
  
• Realtime Source: source that allows you to map activities in Flex to activities in Puzzel WFM. These sources enable the real-time adherence feature.
• Skills: queues that an agent can handle.
• Skill Set: group of Skills that an agent can handle.
• Patience: amount of time in seconds that an average customer will wait before they hang up.
• Alias: feature that allows you to map a TaskRouter TaskQueue to a Queue in Puzzel WFM if the queue has a different name across systems. You can also use Alias to merge multiple queues into one forecast queue. For example, if you have three separate queues (“Australia”, “New Zealand”, “UK”) and you want to create a forecast that includes all three queues, you can create one queue (“International”) and assign the three individual queues as Aliases for that one queue.
• Team Leader: equivalent term for Supervisor in Flex.

Prerequisites

• You must upgrade your Flex project and select a paid pricing plan. This allows you to enable Flex Insights, which is required to provide Puzzel WFM with historical data from your Flex contact center. For more information, see Getting Started with Flex Insights.
• You must have a Puzzel WFM account with access to the Planner Portal.
• You must contact the Flex Integrations Support Team (flex-integrations@twilio.com) to enable the Puzzel WFM Integration tile so that it is available within the Flex → Admin → Integrations page mentioned below.
