SMS gateway to an e-mail address within the contact center. The Contact
Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the SMS text message and queues
it to the appropriate skillset.
Fax messages from customers are forwarded by a fax server to an e-mail
address within the contact center. The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail
Manager retrieves the fax attachment in TIFF format and queues it to the
appropriate skillset.
Voice mail messages from customers are forwarded by a voice mail server to an
e-mail address within the contact center. The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail
Manager retrieves the voice mail attachment in WAV format and queues it to the
appropriate skillset.
A scanned document is an electronic version of a printed page or document.
Scanned documents from customers are forwarded by a document imaging
server to an e-mail address within the contact center. From here, the Contact
Center Multimedia E-mail Manager retrieves the scanned document attachment
in TIFF format and queues it to the appropriate skillset.
