SiX Agent

The Skybox integrated eXperience (SiX), is a contact-handling web application that enables you to interact with contacts using phone calls, voicemail, email, chat, work items.  SiX also supports the simultaneous use of multiple channels.

As you handle an interaction, SiX offers several tools to enhance your experience.  You can transfer interactions to other agents or skills, conference with the contact and another agent, place the contact on hold, disposition and tag the interaction to categorize it, and create reminders to reach the contact again at a later time. You can use the address book to quickly place calls, generally within your own organization.

The channels and features available in your instance of SiX depend on how your administrator has configured it. Some of the features in this guide may not be available for you.
