Which feature enables a voice interaction to interrupt an email interaction?

Question breakdown

Tests

ACD routing and utilization configuration

Difficulty

Easy

Key idea: Utilization settings define how many interactions of each media type an agent can handle at once, and which media types can interrupt others.

How to reach the answer

1. The clue is one media type (voice) interrupting another (email).
2. Utilization is where you set a per-media capacity for each media type.
3. In utilization you can mark a media type such as email as interruptible by another type such as calls.
4. When that is configured, ACD can offer a call to an agent who is working an email, and the email is pushed into an interrupted state.
5. Skills, emergency routing and scripts do not control concurrent capacity across media types.

Each option

• ACorrect. Utilization settings let you make email interruptible by voice, so ACD can route calls to agents working emails.
• BIncorrect. ACD skills decide which agents match an interaction, not whether one media type can interrupt another.
• CIncorrect. Emergency routing redirects calls to an alternate destination during emergencies and does not affect agent concurrency.
• DIncorrect. Scripts guide agents through an interaction and do not influence routing capacity.

Common trap: Emergency Routing sounds like it gives voice urgent priority over other work, but it is a flow-level diversion, not an agent-capacity rule.

In practice: Blended contact centers often make email and messages interruptible by calls so agents stay available for voice. This is set at the org level or overridden per agent under utilization.

Remember: Cross-media interruption, such as a call interrupting an email, is set in Utilization.
