In-Call Texting Helps Capture Emails Accurately

Charlie Schrier

PRESS RELEASE

SmartAction’s Intelligent Voice Automation (IVA®) includes in-call text capabilities, which help to capture challenging pieces of data like email addresses.

LOS ANGELES, CA, (March 3, 2016) — SmartAction today released details about its innovative In-Call Text capabilities that have been integrated into its proprietary voice self-service solution, Intelligent Voice Automation (IVA®). IVA® is a disruptive call automation solution that takes ground-breaking artificial intelligence and infuses it with state-of-the-art speech recognition capabilities, creating a customer service experience that rivals that of a live agent.

SmartAction’s In-Call Text capabilities enable IVA® to send an outbound text during a live call. Customers are asked to respond to the text message with accurate information. Here’s how it works. After receiving permission from the caller and confirmation that the caller is using a mobile phone, IVA® will send an outbound text requesting a specific piece of information, like an email address, which is generally challenging to capture over the phone for both IVRs and agents. Then, IVA® will simply hold while the caller enters the appropriate information and sends the response. When the reply message is received, IVA® will continue the call, and both the customer and the company can be sure that the correct email (or other data) is now on file.

“We all know that texting is popular, and it is actually growing quickly as a customer service channel. It’s like built in chat for your phone. We want to meet customers where they’re at, so to speak, and provide an effortless experience to them by capturing accurate data the first time,” said CEO Tom Lewis.

Besides data capture, this capability has other beneficial use cases, like sending order confirmation numbers, capturing GPS location, outlook invitations for scheduled appointments, and many others.

SmartAction is currently offering In-Call Text capabilities to new and existing clients. To learn more about it, contact us.
