Create a Lead Center agent

Create a team

In Lead Center, you can group agents into teams. Teams help by organizing your agents based on their roles, functions, schedules, or other factors. You can use these teams when you create queues and build call flows. Use this help article to learn more about creating teams.

Set up a call flow

Once you’ve created a tracking number, you can use call flows to configure how your incoming calls are routed and what callers experience when they call your tracking numbers. Use this article to learn more about creating call flows.

Set up chat

Lead Center's chat tool allows you to track and respond to each chat message sent via your website. Each time a customer sends a chat message, we’ll instantly alert you with a desktop notification or an email. Use this help article to learn how to set up chat.

Microphone permissions

To place calls, you must grant Lead Center permission to use your computer’s microphone. If you place or answer calls in Lead Center with your permissions turned off, the person on the other line won’t be able to hear you. Use this article to set up microphone permissions.

Set your availability

Set your availability to make sure you aren’t missing any customer interactions. Setting your status as available will allow you to take inbound interactions. If you set your status as offline, you won’t be able to receive incoming interactions, but you can still make outbound calls and texts. Use this article to learn how to set up your availability. 

Set up notifications

You can set up notifications to alert you when you receive an incoming call, text, chat, or form submission. These notifications help prevent missed calls and serve as a convenient way for Lead Center agents to stay on top of their interactions, even while multitasking. Use this article to learn how to set up notifications.

Place calls and send text messages
