Real situations
When teams bring us in on Talkdesk
Callers reach the wrong team first
Calls land with agents who cannot help and then get transferred, sometimes twice.
What we doWe rebuild Studio flows and assignment so calls reach the right team the first time.
The phone menu is too long
Callers press zero or hang up before they reach anyone.
What we doWe shorten the menu, then test every route with real calls.
People left, their settings stayed
Old users and queue memberships remain after agents move on.
What we doWe keep users, queues and routing current every month.

Questions
Talkdesk management — common questions
How does Talkdesk Studio assign calls?
An assignment step routes an interaction through ring groups, through attributes — with the proficiency level an agent needs — or to specific agents. Only one assignment type can be used per step.
Can we edit Talkdesk’s default Supervisor role?
No. The default Agent and Supervisor roles cannot be renamed, deactivated or modified; create a new role with the permissions you need.
What happens when a caller waits too long in Talkdesk Studio?
Each assignment can have a maximum waiting time, after which the assignment stops and the interaction routes to the maximum-waiting-time exit.
Who can use AppConnect apps in Talkdesk?
By default only the Admin and Supervisor roles. Admins can launch, install and manage apps; Supervisors can only launch them.
How much does Talkdesk management cost?
From $100 a month. The exact price depends on users, volume and what needs setting up, and you get it in writing within 2 working days, without giving us access.
Is there a minimum term?
No. It is month to month with 30 days’ notice.
