Note

The whispers feature varies slightly between VoiceXML and CCXML. If you are not sure which you are using, contact support.

Whispers only work with calls, not other types of interactions.

...

  • Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) or Universal Contact Distributor (UCD) applet. In the ACD, or UCD, applet, you set the default whisper. If you are using VoiceXML, you can choose to play the whisper to the just the agent, or to both the agent and the caller. If you are using CCXML you can only play the whisper to the agent.
  • Set Whisper applet. You can use the Set Whisper applet to override the default whisper. For example, if you have several interaction plans that route calls to the same ACD, use the Set Whisper applet to add a custom whisper for any or all of those individual interaction plans. You must set a default whisper in the target ACD for the Set Whisper applet to work.

    Info

    If you are only using a default whisper in the ACD to enable the whisper in the Set Whisper applet, use an empty audio file (containing no sound) in the ACD.
