Communications are used to log any interaction between your customers and your company. Communications can be incoming or outgoing and can support multiple communication media such as Emails, SMS, phone calls, letters etc.

Communications Glossary

Term	Description

Communication tags	Communication tags can be used to generate the subject or the content of a communication based on data kept on the related contact information or referred business entities.
Unrestricted Communication tags AVAILABLE FROM CRM.COM R9	Unrestricted tags are tags which are not restricted to CRM.COM specific data (i.e. they do not map to a CRM.COM entity). Those tags are replaced using the values that are specified by the user while creating or updating a communication.
WYSIWYG Editor AVAILABLE FROM CRM.COM R9	"What You See Is What You Get" Editor is a utility that provides the ability to create and maintain the content of a screen in real time.
Opt in	Opt in email is a term used when someone is given the option to receive email. Typically, this is some sort of mailing list, newsletter, or advertising
Opt out	Instead of giving people the option to be put in the list, they are automatically put in and then have the option to request to be taken out

Communications Key Processes and Concepts

Processes / Concept	Description
Communication Queue Usage and Communication Queue External Systems	Communication Queue and Communication Queue External Systems are used to process any communications that need to reach the customers in some way. i.e. via Email or SMS. Communication Queue: Communications may have various forms; Face to Face, SMS, Email, phone, letter etc. If a communication is an Email or an SMS, then it will be added in the communication queue once created. Any communications in the queue will then be further processed, either by CRM.COM (if it is an Email or an SMS) or by an external system and only then it will be considered as Completed, i.e. send an Email or the SMS. Other types of Communications will never go in the queue. Communication Queue External System: These are systems that are allowed to access and process information kept in the communication queue of CRM.COM If a communication is not going to be delivered to a customer via the SMS gateway or via the Email provider defined in CRM.COM, it can be processed by an external system as long as the system is defined as a Communication Queue External System. Conditional Access system or a CRM.COM portal are examples of such systems.
SMS Gateway and Email Provider Integration	As explained above, Communications may be sent directly via CRM.COM. This means that any communication that needs to be sent via Email or SMS and that is not going to be processed by an external system and is added in the queue it will be processed by CRM.COM. This is possible if the SMS Gateway integrated with CRM.COM is set up in the system. i.e., CM. Email Provider settings also need to be set up in the system accordingly.
Communication Templates, Communication Tags and Auto-complete	CRM.COM allows you to easily create communication templates, i.e., ready-made text with tags that will be automatically replaced with the values of the related business entities. In this way the user can select from the available templates and quickly address the customer's requests for information, keeping a standard and formal style. Tags may be used to create:Communication Tags come with an auto-complete feature, so as when you type the name of the entity the available tags are being made available for selection Communication Template Email subject OR Communication subject (not using a template) Communication Template Email / SMS content OR Communication content (not using a template) Formatting: #entity_name.field : i.e., #subscription.number
Email Tracking AVAILABLE FROM CRM.COM R9	CRM.COM allows you to track the status of emails, which have been sent to contacts via communications as well as allow the contact to directly update information in CRM.COM, related to their contact via specific links included in the links of their emails. This is available via the email tracking utility. More specifically the following options are available via Email Tracking: Track viewed email communications Track viewed links included in email communications Allow customers to opt in or opt out from direct or affiliate marketing notifications, through links included in email communications Allow customer to accept service request response, through links included in email communications Allow customer to accept temporary or final service request resolutions, through links included in email communications In order to be able to use the email tracking feature, you will need to enable email tracking utility and setup the system accordingly via Communication Definitions and use the predefined Dynamic Link Tags when creating Communications, or Communication Templates. In addition the contact should have the email authorisation settings turn on, in order to be allowed to receive emails
Review Email Tracking via Dashboards AVAILABLE FROM CRM.COM R9	CRM.COM allows you to easily track communications via related dashboards. The dashboards are available per Notification Run as such communications will be usually be sent out to customers via configured notification run batch processes. Visit the following links to check out the 2 related dashboards available, displaying the required information in an easy to read visual format: Tracked Communication Links Per Notification Run and Month Stacked Bar Tracked Communications Per Notification Run and Month Stacked Bar

Customer calling for installation re-visit

Business Requirements

A customer of company ZX has called in the Call Centre and has registered a complaint regarding the quality of his picture. The agent arranged an appointment with the technical department. Once the technician came back in, the agent called the customer back to confirm whether the problem was solved.

CRM.COM Solution

Customer calling in to complain

Once the customer calls in to file a complaint then the user should create a new communication of Direction Incoming, Media Phone and Category: Technical Issue. The communication should be saved using the Save as Draft option, so that the Life Cycle State is not updated to Completed.

Agent registering an appointment

At the same time the agent should schedule an activity and assign it to the Technical Department with all the related information.

Agent calling back at the customer

Once the activity is closed by the technician the agent should go back to the initial communication and save it using the "Save" option, so that the communication life cycle state will be updated to completed.

Then the Follow up action should be used. On the new Communication that will be created the agent should provide the following information

Media: Phone
Direction: Outgoing
Category: Service Satisfaction

At the same time the agent should call the customer and inquire regarding the quality of the picture and the service provided by the technician. The related information should be logged by the agent in the Shared Notes field.

Once completed the user should save the communication by clicking the "SAVE" button

More Information on creating Follow Up communications can be found at: Creating Follow Up Communications
