Responsive Routing allows you to route callers based on specific conditions without having to use different tracking numbers. For example, you may want to route first-time callers to a specific agent, but repeat callers to a different agent. With Responsive Routing, your call flows can be customized based on any combination of the following criteria:
- First-time caller
- Repeat caller
- Source
- Keyword
- Active page
- Landing page or parameter
- Campaign
- Referrer
Getting started
We recommend using the Responsive Routing step with website pools. The keyword, active page, landing page or parameter, campaign, and referrer criteria for call flows all rely on a cookie that is exclusively used for website pools.
Source tracking numbers can only route calls using the first-time caller, repeat caller, and source criteria.
We recommend placing a few test calls from a telephone number that’s not included within your call flow to ensure your calls are routing as expected once your call flow is assigned to a tracking number.
