Updating tickets for out-of-hours calls

Your helpdesk tickets for calls which come in outside business hours can be updated and controlled using tags, just as calls coming in during Business Hours.

The most efficient and scale-friendly way to update these kind of calls is to combine a tag in babelforce with an Automation in your helpdesk (e.g. Zendesk). 

Therefore, we have to configure a global Automation to add a tag - say, "out_of_business_hours" - to a ticket if the Trigger "call received out-of-hours" fires. The Trigger looks something like this:

Now that we created the Trigger, however, we need to ensure that the Action to add the tag is performed at the right time. Therefore, we have set the Event to happen upon the call finishing. It should look like this:

Once tickets are appearing with the "out_of_business_hours" tag, you can do whatever you like with them using Triggers and Automations in your help center. 

This method makes sure you can reliably tag, control and get data reports on out-of-hours calls.
