With Gladly, you can use different Channels while working with a Customer. For example, you can be on the phone with a Customer and send them a confirmation number via SMS at the same time. You can even reply to a Customer’s email while on the phone with another Customer. When working in Gladly, you are not restricted to using a single Channel to communicate with Customers.
Remember, you must manage your availability using the Availability Controls to receive work from Customers from the Inboxes you (as an Agent) are assigned to.
