If you are logged into your station and in Ready state when Five9 maintenance or a power outage affects your domain, you may see one or more of these messages. Your supervisor may provide instructions to minimize the impact to your work.
When maintenance is about to start, you will be notified 10 minutes before the event by your supervisor. Maintenance may last from a few minutes up to several hours. Depending on the type of work that Five9 needs to perform, your actions may be partially or totally restricted. For example, in some cases, connected calls are dropped, but calls in your queues remain. You may be able to make campaign-related manual calls, preview calls, return voicemail messages, and receive calls from inbound campaigns.
Important Although the report has many parameters and filters, do not modify the layout before contacting your administrator.

Your Five9 Plus adapter enables you to make and receive external and internal calls from your CRM application. This chapter describes all features. However, the features that you see and the tasks that you may perform depend on your permissions and on the features enabled in each campaign by your administrator. opened browser tabs and windows
Before you start to make or receive calls, be sure to set your state appropriately.
Dialing CallsYou can enter a number in the softphone, select a number in a directory, or click a phone number in any contact, lead, activity, or account page:
Softphone KeypadContact DatabaseClick 2 DialTCPA Manual Touch Mode
Important Each browser limits the number of simultaneous connections that you can make to the Five9 system. To avoid performance issues with the Five9 adapter, open no more than five browser tabs and windows. This limitation applies whether the content of the windows (case, opportunity, or other) differs, or the windows are opened in different browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari).
If you close all browser windows during a call, the call is dropped because the softphone is a browser plug-in.

TCPA Manual Touch ModeIf you are part of a domain enabled for TCPA Manual Touch Mode, you are required to input all internal and external phone numbers manually into the adapter. You cannot cut and paste or drag and drop a phone number into the field. You cannot call a contact until you have correctly entered all numbers.
This feature applies to these types of calls, whether or not they are part of a campaign: click-to-dial, call previews, and queue and voicemail callbacks. For queue callbacks, automatic dialing is disabled, and, for outbound calls, the automatic answer feature in your softphone settings is disabled. For more information, contact your supervisor. These figures show what you see when you need to type the number.
Receiving CallsTo receive calls, your state must be ready for voice. You may receive internal calls from other agents or supervisors, automated outbound calls made by the dialer, and inbound and queue callback calls from contacts.
When Preview Dialing is enabled for an outbound campaign, you see the details of the contact record and the campaign if applicable. When you receive a call, you may see a notification such as this one, except if you use Internet Explorer.
These messages are useful if you minimize or hide your adapter behind another application. These messages apply to all types of calls and contain specific information:
• Incoming outbound, inbound, internal, or other call: name or phone number and campaign
• Incoming skill or personal voicemail: name or phone number and campaign• Reminder that is due• Internal chat or broadcast message: name and message• Maintenance notifications

You may have the option to decline the call. If you exceed the previewing time limit, the contact is dialed automatically. For more information, see Call Preview. Process all calls as described in the features of this chapter.
Queue callbacks are calls that you return after contacts who cannot immediately speak with an agent request a callback instead of remaining on the line until their turn arrives. A field in the softphone may indicate the nature of the call.
To modify the notification settings, click the cog in the lower right corner. The figure on the right displays the Firefox options. You can delay or disable browser notifications at your convenience.
If you enabled the auto-answer options in your softphone, you receive calls automatically. If you have permission, you may reject ringing calls.

Call PreviewThis feature may be enabled in outbound campaigns. An incoming call notification opens before the call is connected to your station. As soon as you change your state to ready for voice, a call preview may be displayed. The preview contains the details about the contact record and the campaign name if applicable. If the notification has a time limit (red timer), the timer begins immediately. If you exceed the previewing time limit, your state may be changed to Not Ready.
Depending on the campaign configuration, the contact may be dialed automatically, or you may choose when to call the contact after you review the details. You cannot be interrupted after you have decided to call a previewed contact. You may have permission to decline the call. In this case, you are required to select a disposition that indicates the reason.

Ending CallsWhen you end a call or your part of a transfer or conference call, you select a disposition.
Selecting DispositionsWhen you or your contact ends a call, you indicate the result of the call by selecting a disposition. You can process another call immediately afterward. In some campaigns, the system automatically sets a disposition after a certain time or automatically sets system dispositions, such as No Answer, Busy, Fax, Answering Machine, and Dial Error. For preview calls, you need to select the dispositions manually.
In some cases, dispositions are not final or have specific conditions. For example, if you want to redial a number later because a phone line is busy, choose a disposition that enables you to do so, such as Agent to Redial. In this case, you set a timer to redial the number after the specified amount of time. You may see dispositions similar to these:
• Busy: The number that you called is busy.• No Answer: The phone ringing but no answer.• Fax: The number that you called is a fax machine.• System: This value is selected automatically in case of system failure, such as a
lost connection.• Add to DNC List: The number is added to the do-not-call list.• Left Message: You left a voicemail message.• Answering Machine: You did not leave a voicemail message.• Scheduled Callback: You scheduled a return call.• Not Interested: The called party is not interested.• Agent to Redial: You set a timer so that you may call this number again later.

• Personal Voicemail Messages: Messages sent by other agents are considered personal. You can access them at any time regardless of your state. These messages appear as a list.
