    The Agent Panel is a powerful yet simple-to-use tool that enables you to easily make and receive calls, join outbound campaigns, and monitor your performance.

    Introduction

    The Agent Panel is a web application for Agents to perform their work in a contact center. The Agent Panel lets you:

    Login

    To log into Voiso and access the Agent Panel, navigate to the Voiso contact center URL, provided by your administrator or supervisor, using a web browser.

    Tip

    The Voiso application works best in the latest version of the Google Chrome browser.

    Voiso Login 060723

    1. In your browser, navigate to your contact center's Voiso contact center sign-in page. Ask your administrator for the homepage URL.
    2. Enter your username (your Voiso contact center email address) and password.
    Important

    As a security feature that protects your account from attacks, your administrator might activate temporary account lockout . If this feature is activated and you enter incorrect credentials a certain number of times, your account might experience a temporary lock.

    If your account is temporarily locked, don't worry. Just follow the simple on-screen instructions. You have the choice to either wait for the specified time until your account is automatically unlocked or reach out to your administrator, who can promptly assist you in unlocking your account.

    1. Click Sign in.
    2. If pop-ups and redirects are blocked, select Allow and click Done.
    3. To open the Agent Panel, click the Agent Panel icon in the navigation bar.
    4. When the Agent Panel is displayed for the first time, you are asked to allow Voiso to use your microphone. Click Allow.
    5. If your browser does not have permission to use your microphone, a dialog box might be displayed asking permission. Allow your browser to use your microphone as well. You might have to enable your microphone in your browser settings.
    6. To change your microphone settings or choose a different microphone, click the microphone icon.
    7. Modify the settings, then click Done. To modify your browser's microphone settings, click Manage.
    8. Your softphone is now ready to use.
    9. To start receiving inbound calls or outbound campaign calls, set your status to Available.
    10. To make an outbound call, use the dial pad.

    CRM integration login

    Some contact centers integrate the Voiso Agent Panel inside their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. Voiso supports many popular and niche CRMs, including Salesforce, Zoho, and Hubspot. Consult your supervisor or administrator about how to log into Voiso from your organization's CRM.

    Home screen

    The Voiso Agent Panel home screen is a dial pad that you can use to make outgoing phone calls to contacts (external people your organization interacts with, such as clients, customers, patients, and sales leads) or internal targets, such as another agent, a calling queue, or back office personnel.
