Workflows
Workflows allow you to customize the handling and distribution of incoming calls according to your preferences. Workflows can also react to the Opening Hours configured for your service and may apply different strategies depending on Parameters or other actions as defined by individual Workflow Activities.
In this view you can:
- Copy any existing workflow to use as base for your new edit.
- Create new workflows either from scratch, or based on existing templates.
- Configure various parameters in each Workflow by editing their structure .
You can have as many workflows defined in configuration as as you want. Multiple services can use the same workflow.
In order to have any effect, workflows need to be selected in each individual Service Settings.
Creating a Workflow
Nimbus comes with predefined ready-to-use Workflow Templates. You can also create your own templates and use them during the Creation Dialogue.
