Configuring click-to-call


Velaro's click-to-call feature allows you to place a button on your website that when clicked, will forward a request for a call-back to one of your agents that you have logged into the Velaro Desktop application.

By implementing click-to-call on your website, you can make it simple for your customers to request a voice telephone call, and in addition, leverage Velaro's automated routing capabilities to efficiently route incoming call requests to the most appropriate agent.

The rest of this article walks you through the steps required to get your account setup for using click-to-call on your website:


Step 1: Create your click-to-call surveys

  1. Log in to your administrator account at http://login.velaro.com
  2. Select Surveys > Edit
  3. Create two new surveys, and an optional third:
  • Create a call request survey for when a website visitor requests a callback. Make sure this survey at least requests the users name and phone number.  Select the 'set as username' and 'set as phone number' buttons for the respective questions.  All the information collected in this survey will be presented to your agents when the call request is routed.
  • Create a second survey to displayed to your visitors after the request to call has been made. This survey is typically a customer satisfaction survey that is used to help collect valuable feedback about the quality of the call.
  • Create a third survey (optional). This will displayed to your customer service agents after the call is complete. It allows you to collect additional information about the call from your agent.

Velaro ties all the above surveys together and presents them in the reporting section of the control panel.
