Omnichannel Routing

Omnichannel routing is a contact centre approach that consolidates customer interactions from multiple communication channels into a unified queue and uses routing logic to direct them to the most suitable available agents. This strategy provides a seamless and consistent customer experience, allowing agents to transition between channels while maintaining context and access to customer information.
