1. A method, comprising:
- detecting a communications channel loss in a communication between a customer and a resource of a contact center;
determining that the communications channel loss occurred prior to the resource addressing at least one objective of the customer; and
in response to determining that the communications channel loss occurred prior to the resource addressing the at least one objective of the customer, reserving, at a memory associated with a routing element of the contact center, an incoming communication route for the customer, wherein the reserved incoming communication route is configured to provide instructions to the routing element such that a second communication from the customer routes to the resource via the reserved incoming communication route.

Abstract
A contact center is described along with various methods and mechanisms for administering the same. Methods are provided that detect a communications channel loss in a communication between a customer and a resource of a contact center. The method determines when the communications channel loss occurred. When the communications loss occurs prior to an objective of the customer being resolved the method reserves an incoming communication route for the customer to call back and reach the same resource when the call back is made in a predetermined and limited amount of time.

18. A contact center, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor; a routing element configured to route a customer initiated communication to a resource of the contact center; and an inbound disconnect engine configured to detect a communications channel loss in a communication between the customer and the resource of the contact center, determine that the communications channel loss occurred prior to the resource addressing at least one objective of the customer, and in response to determining that the communications channel loss occurred prior to the resource addressing the at least one objective of the customer, reserve, at the memory, an incoming communication route for the customer, wherein the reserved incoming communication route is configured to provide instructions to the routing element such that a second communication from the customer routes to the resource via the reserved incoming communication route. - View Dependent Claims (19)
