How to Connect Talkdesk

Overview

If you use Talkdesk as your telephony platform, connecting Talkdesk directly to Assembled is the easiest way to ensure that you're forecasting and scheduling your agents using the most accurate data. Once connected, your telephony contact data will flow automatically in to Assembled.

Installation

In order to connect Assembled to Talkdesk you will have to reach out to your Assembled Customer Success Manager or support@assembled.com.

Note: As of Nov 2023, Assembled will use Talkdesk's "wait time" metric by default for "first response time". If you connected to Talkdesk in Assembled before this date, please reach out to your Assembled Customer Success Manager or support@assembled.com to update this configuration.

Configure Talkdesk

If Talkdesk is integrated with another support platform that is already connected to Assembled, you'll likely want to create a ticket exclusion on the Case routing tab of the Queue management page (Exclusions > Add exclusion) in order to insure that tickets or cases or not double counted. First enter a name and pick Talkdesk as the source platform, then add the rules and click Save rule.
