Providing seamless, cross-channel support is essential for delivering a modern customer experience.
If you’re using Voiso’s CCaaS platform, enabling the Omnichannel Workspace allows your contact center to handle digital interactions across Facebook Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.
But there’s a catch: to use Messenger and Instagram, you need to complete Facebook Business Verification first.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to configure your omnichannel environment in Voiso and get your business verified by Facebook.
Step 1: Understanding Voiso’s Supported Digital Channels
Voiso’s Omnichannel Workspace supports the following digital and voice channels:
- Voice
- SMS
- Webchat
- Telegram
- Viber
- Facebook Messenger
Your plan determines which channels are available. For example, Messenger and Instagram are available to Pro and Custom users. Be sure to confirm your plan’s eligibility before proceeding.
Step 2: Enabling Omnichannel Capabilities in Voiso
Start by contacting your Voiso account manager to enable omnichannel functionality. Once it’s activated, follow these steps:
A. Add Your Channels
Go to Administration > Digital Channels > Add Channel. Choose from Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Webchat, etc. Make sure you’ve set up accounts with the relevant providers beforehand.
B. Configure Users and Roles
There are two ways to assign agents:
- Basic Roles: Enable the Omnichannel Workspace Enabled permission on the user profile or via CSV import.
- Security Access Groups: Create a group with omnichannel permissions and assign agents accordingly.
C. Assign Channels and Capacity
For each agent:
- Assign specific channels they can handle.
- Set capacity limits (e.g., how many chats they can manage at once).
- Assign them to appropriate teams.
D. Set Up Queues
Create queues that include digital channels. Go to Inbound > Queues, and under Connected Channels, select the digital platforms you want. Assign agents and set channel priorities.
E. Design Flows
Use Voiso’s Flow Builder to route incoming messages to the right queues and agents. This ensures every interaction is handled efficiently.
F. Set Timers
From Administration > System Settings > Timers, define:
- Time to first response
- Time to reply
- Time to resolution
- Inactivity auto-archive timeout
These timers help maintain SLA compliance and boost agent accountability.
G. Create Message Templates
Predefined responses save time and ensure consistency. Go to Administration > Message Templates to create channel-specific replies.
