Automatic redirection lets you automatically route end-users through specified workflows based on your needs.
Example use cases
There's a natural disaster in your region. You can configure the system to automatically play a message stating that your support operation is unavailable.
You want to use your regular menu flow, but give end-users an option that takes them outside of CCAI Platform. You can automatically provide them with a phone number.
You can give the end-user the option to go straight to voicemail and leave a message. The end-user would then be contacted when the correct agent is available (available for IVR queues only).
You can present your end-users with product offerings based specific to their locations by directing them to a specialized web page based on user ID (available for Mobile and Web queues only).
