Managing Your Alerts

Before receiving alerts, users must first configure the alerts they would like to receive. Users can configure alerts by selecting a metric, setting a threshold at which they want to be alerted, and setting a frequency for alert checks. Once alerts have been configured, users can view their existing alert rules and edit, enable/disable, or delete rules as needed.

Creating an Alert

  1. Select a Metric
    • Answer Seizure Ratio (ASR) – Call Completion Rate, Connection Rate
      • ASR % = (total number of answered calls / total number of calls) × 100
    • Average Call Duration (ACD)
  2. Select the Call Direction
    • Inbound
    • Outbound
  3. Set Threshold
    • Answer Seizure Ratio (ASR)
      • Alert if ASR is above/below a certain percentage.
    • Average Call Duration (ACD)
      • Alert if ACD is above/below a certain duration.
  4. Alert Check Frequency
    • Set the interval for how often we should run a threshold check
    • Ex. If the interval is set for every 15 mins and the last check was at 3:00, the next check will be at 3:15 and we will be looking at all activity from 3:00-3:15.
  5. Select Notification Method
    • Genius console notifications are always enabled
    • Email - Send email notifications to the desired recipients
      • Add Genius users
      • Add external email addresses
    • Slack
      • Ensure that you have configured your Slack integration in Company Settings (see above)
      • Select the channels or users you wish to deliver notifications to.
        • Channels/Users must first be allowed within the Slack configuration in Company Settings
    • Webhooks
      • Send alert notifications to the endpoint configured in Company Settings (see above).
  6.  Give the Alert a Name

 

Editing an Alert

Alert rules can be edited, disabled, or deleted from the Alert Rules page.

  • Edit an Alert Rule
    • Open the alert rule by clicking the alert name
    • Make any necessary changes to the alert configuration
    • Changes will be applied on the next threshold check.
  • Disable an Alert Rule
    • From the Alert Rules page toggle the Alert Status button
    • The ON position indicates that the alert is active, and the OFF position indicates that the alert is disabled.
    • Disabling an alert rule means that the system will not be checking for these particular rules during alert checks. A disabled rule can be enabled again at any time.
    • If a rule is disabled during an alert check, users will be notified that the alert was manually resolved.
  • Delete an Alert Rule
    • From the Alert Rules page select the Delete button
    • Deleting an alert rule means the system will not be checking for these alerts going forward. This action cannot be undone.
    • If a rule is deleted during an alert check, users will be notified that the alert was manually resolved.
