In modern service scenarios, customer support agents, no matter how efficient, have to deal with scary support situations now and then. One way to tackle these horror stories is to know what your customer desires and then deliver services per their expectations.
This Halloween, you can treat your Cisco Contact Center to WhatsApp Integration and peek-a-boo your agents and customers in the sweetest manner possible.
So, letโs explore what the contact center ghosts are and how integration with WhatsApp can help you deal with these nightmarish scares effectively.
Do any such ghosts haunt your contact center? Read on to find out.
Eerie Silence on the Other Side of the Telephone
It isnโt uncommon for customers to wait for hours on the line before they connect with the right agent who can solve their problems. Such lengthy wait times or being tossed around from one agent to the next in the name of connecting with the right agent can shoot up customer frustration. This can be equivalent to a situation where contact centers act as vampires, slowly sucking away the customerโs patience.
By integrating your Cisco Contact Center with WhatsApp, customers can initiate communication with agents almost instantly, taking your customers to the most appropriate agent within the Cisco Contact Center. Also, frequently asked questions can be addressed via automated responses, providing quick solutions and reducing the agent’s overwhelm.

The Curse of Context-less Communication
In the dynamic world of customer service, context is the king. However, most contact centers are cursed with a lack of context, causing customers to repeat themselves every time they reach out to agents. Narrating queries too many times can become a haunting experience for your customers. Many a time, this can become the cause of customers leaving your brand.
WhatsApp integration with your Cisco Contact Center helps retain the conversation context and facilitates informed communication. When agents can pick up the context of a customer call as soon as they call in, they gain a comprehensive understanding of the customer’s issues, enabling them to break the curse and provide a context-rich experience to customers.
The Haunted Maze of Outdated Channels
In the absence of a clear digital channel strategy, contact centers run the risk of wandering through a haunted maze of outdated communication methods. In this dark labyrinth, adaptability and efficiency become ghostly apparitions. Tangled in a web of outdated communication methods, agents fail to cater to customersโ preferences for modern communication methods, haunting the customerโs experience.
The seamless integration of Cisco Finesse and WhatsApp provides a guiding light through the dark corridors of the maze. The integration acts as a bridge that connects contact centers to modern customer preferences. Equipping agents with tools to switch effortlessly between channels, the solution effectively allows contact centers to adapt to evolving customer needs and ensures a streamlined journey for agents and customers alike.

The Phantom of Un-Personalized Service
The shadows of customer disconnect haunt most contact centers today. Agents often need help to deliver and maintain quality customer service, impacting customer relationships. The spooky challenge lies in creating personalized interactions within the traditional contact center framework. This consumes valuable agent time and results in the delivery of a petrified customer experience.
Now, WhatsApp is a widely used messaging platform globally, making it a communication channel that is not only familiar to but preferred by many. With Cisco Finessesโs third-party integrations and WhatsApp capabilities, agents can easily leverage customer data to deliver tailored interactions, including targeted messages, offers, and support information, creating a personalized and meaningful customer experience. From personalization at scale to real-time interactions, WhatsApp integration contributes to personalized engagement, making customers feel valued and understood.
The Scary Saga of Agent Unavailability
Usually, contact centers have to deal with limited agent availability and the absence of self-service options. Itโs like the saga of long-told tales where the magic spell doesn’t work after midnight. This shouldnโt happen with contact centers where customers fail to connect with agents after a particular tick on the clock.
The integration of WhatsApp and Cisco Contact Centers comes as a lantern in this haunted house, allowing businesses to transcend the limitations of traditional contact center systems. The WhatsApp platform will enable interactions to be managed 24/7. With self-service options enabled through WhatsApp, customers can easily find answers to FAQs and resolve simple issues independently by making agents focus on complex and high-value interactions. This, in turn, leads to an integrated, responsive, and customer-centric environment.
Wrap-Up
We know you would like your customer support service to be a treat and not a trick this Halloween season. Integrating your Cisco Contact Center with WhatsApp can help you overcome the terrifying tales of customer support. This Halloween, let the integration of WhatsApp with your Cisco Contact Center be the magic potion that transforms your customer service into delightful experiences for customers. Unleash the magic of integration and ensure that customer support becomes a treat that lingers in the minds of your customers long after Halloween has passed.
