For more information, please refer to our Pricing Plan.

No, you will need to add your email addresses individually. Each email channel corresponds to one email address configured with routing rules and the assigned destination of your dedicated agents.

Routing rules are guidelines or instructions that dictate how incoming customer chat or call enquiries should be distributed and directed within a business or organisation. These rules can ensure that each enquiry is directed to the appropriate team or individual based on factors such as the type of enquiry, the time of day, or the volume of enquiries.

Routing rules can benefit businesses with multiple teams or departments handling different enquiries by ensuring each enquiry is directed to the most appropriate team or individual. This can help to reduce response times, improve customer satisfaction, and increase agent productivity.

Some common types of routing rules include alternative (linear) routing, percentage routing, time-based routing, sticky routing, and engagement routing.

The Alternative (Linear) Routing rule distributes incoming enquiries in a linear pattern to your set destination. It can be useful when you have a set order in which you want enquiries or calls to be routed, such as when you have teams handling different types of enquiries or want to distribute calls evenly among your agents.

The Percentage Routing rule distributes incoming enquiries at a percentage value, meaning that you can allocate different percentages of calls to different teams or agents depending on their availability or skill set.

Time-based routing distributes incoming enquiries using time allocation, such as routing calls to specific teams or agents during certain hours of the day or week. Time-based routing can be especially useful for businesses with staffing limitations or fluctuations in demand, as it allows you to allocate your resources to maximise productivity and efficiency.

Sticky routing establishes a relationship between visitors and staff members. New enquiries from the same visitor will route directly to someone who helped them in the past.

Engagement routing establishes a relationship between visitors and staff members. Staff will initiate the conversation with a visitor, and when the visitor responds, it will route to the staff who engaged.

Yes, you can select "Never Expired" as an option for your Engagement Period of the Sticky Routing in your Virtual Number and Email channels. This way, it keeps the binding last between a customer and staff. For more information, please refer to our User Guide.

Currently, to distribute enquiries according to agents' performance, idle time, or any statistical data are yet to be available. Please stay tuned for further updates on this feature.

The call distribution is based on the routing settings. All available agents in the same service group will receive audible notifications of incoming calls. At the same time, agents on calls will receive only visual notifications of incoming text messages, not audible.

AI features in CINNOX, including Suggested Label and Topic, CINNOX Q&A Bot, and other functionalities, are generally accessible worldwide. However, it's crucial to note that their availability may vary based on your specific location.

In CINNOX, the AI-Suggested Labels feature is designed to support both chat and email enquiries. This functionality enables an enhanced level of organization and efficiency, allowing for effective categorisation and response management across different types of communication channels.

While the AI in CINNOX endeavors to generate labels in your selected preferred language, it's important to understand that 100% accuracy is not always guaranteed. The complexity inherent in language processing can lead to variations in the accuracy of the labels created. This is due to the nuanced and dynamic nature of languages, which AI is continuously learning to navigate.

No, changing your preferred language settings in CINNOX will not impact the AI-suggested labels and topics that were generated previously. These previously created labels and topics will remain as they were at the time of their creation, unaffected by any subsequent changes in language preferences.

The AI Suggested Labels feature in CINNOX offers multiple advantages to enhance your chat conversation experience. Key benefits include:

• Minimising Repetitive Tasks: AI Suggested Labels help in automating the labeling process, reducing the need for manual input and saving valuable time.

• Increasing Label Usage Rates: With AI-generated suggestions, you are more likely to use labels consistently and accurately, ensuring a more organized and searchable conversation history.
  For more information, please refer to our User Guide.

This functionality allows for better categorisation and tracking of common enquiry themes.

The difference between the two is that while you can see a list of recipients when CC is used, that's not the case with BCC. It's called blind carbon copy because the other recipients won't be able to see that someone else has been sent a copy of the email.

Yes, you can. As an admin, configure the BCC of your email channel and add staff as recipients to every send email to the visitors.

For the Chatbot in CINNOX, a variety of file formats are supported as data sources. These include:

• CSV Files: Useful for structured data like tables or lists.
• PDF Files: Ideal for documents and manuals.
• URL Formats: Enables the Chatbot to reference web-based content.

Yes, in CINNOX, administrators have the capability to download data source files. These files can be downloaded in various formats, including PDF, CSV, and Markdown, regardless of their current status in the system. This feature provides administrators with the flexibility to access and manage these data sources as needed for record-keeping or further analysis.

For optimal performance of the chatbot in CINNOX, it is recommended that the data sources be consistent in language. This means that the content, descriptions, and language used by visitors should ideally be in the same vocabulary, as the chatbot functions most effectively with monolingual data sources. To manage enquiries in multiple languages, users are advised to create custom prompts in the respective languages. This approach ensures that instructions and responses are accurately tailored to the language of the enquiry.

For a data source to be operational with the CINNOX Q&A Bot, it must be in the "Ready" status. This status indicates that the data source has been successfully uploaded and processed, and is now available for the Q&A Bot to access and use for responding to enquiries.

A Custom Prompt in CINNOX is a specialised instruction input for the chatbot. It is designed to direct the chatbot's response behavior to specific questions or user interactions. These prompts are essential in guiding the chatbot to produce responses that not only align with the desired tone and style but also match the specific content type and context as derived from the data source for the CINNOX Q&A Bot. Essentially, Custom Prompts are tools to tailor the chatbot’s interactions to meet specific communication needs and preferences.

When preparing Custom Prompts for the CINNOX Q&A Bot, administrators should consider adhering to best practices to ensure effective and accurate bot responses. Key factors include the clarity of the prompts, relevance to the expected user enquiries, and alignment with the overall tone and style of communication. These prompts should be designed to guide the bot in delivering responses that are not only accurate but also contextually appropriate and engaging for users.

For detailed guidance on creating effective Custom Prompts, including examples and best practices, you are encouraged to refer to our Best Practices for Bot Custom Prompts User Guide..

While the CINNOX Q&A Bot, powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT models, is a sophisticated tool designed to provide relevant and informed responses, it is important to note that 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The responses generated by the bot are dependent on the input prompts and the current capabilities of AI technology. Therefore, while the Q&A Bot aims to be as precise and helpful as possible, CINNOX does not assure absolute accuracy in every response.

Yes, the CINNOX Q&A Bot is equipped to support audio messages. When you send an audio message to the bot, it processes the content and responds with a text message. The responses are generated based on the selected data source, allowing for an interactive and dynamic way to obtain information through voice input.

By posing questions, you receive timely and informative answers, which can be especially helpful in ensuring accurate and efficient responses during various internal operations or when handling enquiries.
