BlueSky Contact Center: Troubleshooting Common Scenarios

BlueSky Contact Center: Troubleshooting Common Scenarios

Even the most robust tools, including BlueSky Contact Center, can encounter occasional delays. For instance, due to limitations with how Microsoft Graph and Teams relay information, there may be a brief lag (usually just a few minutes) between when your Teams presence status updates in the client and when the Contact Center detects it.

This is a documented Microsoft behavior (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/subscription?view=graph-rest-1.0#latency), but we're constantly working with them for improvements.

Unexpected Incoming Calls

  • Issue: Agents receive calls while showing a presence status indicating they shouldn't receive calls
  • Solution: As a temporary fix, the agent can opt-out of the queue and then restart Teams to force a presence status update. This will ensure their status accurately reflects their availability

Missing Callers

  • Issue: An agent answers a call, but there's no one on the other line
  • Possible Causes: This can occur if the call has been transferred to another agent or the caller disconnects right before the agent answers. It might happen more frequently when calls are answered near the end of the timeout period set in the Admin Console
  • Solution: The best approach is to answer calls as soon as the notification appears. If you encounter a silent call, check with a supervisor or the Wallboard/Callbacks tool to see if the call went to another agent or if a callback is needed

Stopping Call Flow

  • Issue: An agent needs to stop receiving calls
  • Solution: Agents can utilize the Skills Opt In/Out feature within Sidekick to temporarily opt out of specific skills. Additionally, agents set to specific presence statuses like Do Not Disturb, In a Call, Busy, or Away won't receive calls. Administrators can configure these statuses within the Admin Console under "Settings"
