Engage Voice | Use case #1:
Using Branch, WWW, and Javascript tools

Dan Clay owns a propane and propane accessories company in Arlen, Texas, and currently the company takes all large propane orders over the phone. He has a script set up that agents can use to take down important information about the customer, including their name, phone number, email address, and shipping address. 
 
Recently, Dan’s company starts receiving a larger volume of calls, meaning longer queue wait times. Dan also notices that the majority of the calls are from existing customers looking to make another purchase. To reduce customer wait times, Dan wants to reduce the time it takes for agent’s to document customer information. 
 
Dan decides to configure his existing script to have his agents select at the start of the call whether the caller is a new or existing customer. Depending on their selection, the agent will be presented with one of two scripts. If the caller is a new customer, then the agent will get the existing script where they can take down the new customer’s information. However, if the caller is an existing customer, the agent will get a script that presents them with the requested customer. 
 
However, Dan’s company recently moved to using a third party CRM system to manage their customer’s history and information. If Dan would like to present the agent with customer information in his script, then he will need to set up web requests and JavaScript code to pull specific customer information from the CRM and populate it into the script.
 
Please note: Advanced knowledge of JavaScript and web requests is required to correctly set up this script.

Goals

Edit an existing script that can:
1. Allow agents to select if a caller is a new or existing customer
2. Route customers to two different scripting paths determined by whether the customer is new or existing

a. Create one scripting path for new customers which will contain Dan’s existing script page

b. Create a second scripting path for existing customers 

3. For the second scripting path, collect customer information from the CRM and populate that info in the script

Plan

Edit an existing script by adding the following:
1. Page tool that contains the following:

a. Radio Buttons element that allows agent’s to choose if the customer is new or existing

b. Button element agents can click to navigate to the next page (determined by the radio button selection)

2. Branch tool that splits the script into two different script paths: a script path for existing customers and a script path for new customers
3. Javascript tool and a WWW tool that sends and verifies the agent’s credentials to the CRM. This is so the system can properly collect information from the CRM 
4. A second Javascript tool and WWW tool that retrieves the specified customer information 
5. A third Javascript tool that takes the collected customer information and populates it into a script page
6. Page tool that contains the following:

a. Text Block element containing tags that will populate the customer information collected from the CRM
