Email

Email is a communication channel through which customers can send inquiries, feedback, or requests to the customer service team for resolution or assistance. It allows for asynchronous communication, maintains a record of interactions, and efficiently handles customer inquiries. By adding the email channel to your Virtual Assistant (VA), end users can interact with it using any standard email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Yahoo.

The email channel offers the following functionalities:

  • Threaded email structure
  • Collapsible email tiles
  • Distribution to multiple recipients
  • Standard Responses
  • Attachments
  • Drafts. Learn more.

You can use the Kore.ai Email domain or create your custom Email Domain to configure your email addresses.

To configure the email domains, go to Contact Center AI > Flows & Channels > CHANNELS > Email.

Kore.ai Email Domain

Contact centers need to enable forwarding to the email address configured in the Contact Center AI system. This ensures that any email received by the contact center from its end customer is automatically forwarded to the Kore domain. The Kore domain is linked to the experience flow, allowing seamless integration and management of customer inquiries.

With the capabilities of the experience flow, we can efficiently route incoming emails to appropriate agents, analyze customer intents, execute automation, and more. This streamlined process ensures that each customer query is addressed promptly and accurately.

Any reply email managed by either the agent or the bot is directly sent to the end customer. To maintain transparency and accountability, the customer contact center domain is included in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field and the Reply-to field. This configuration ensures that communication remains open and accessible to all relevant parties.

Whenever the customer responds to the email thread, it is directed back to the customer contact center domain. From there, it is seamlessly forwarded to the Kore domain, ensuring a continuous and efficient communication loop.

Custom Email Domain

Custom email domains add a professional look to your email communications, reinforcing your brand identity with every email you send or receive. Customers perceive custom emails as established, reliable, and legitimate compared to generic email addresses. For example, You can create help@yourbusiness.com, a branded email account that uses your organization's domain name instead of a domain provided by Kore.ai. You can add up to three email accounts (sales@, support@, info@, etc.) in each custom domain for better organization and delegation. By granting access to your email accounts within the domain, you can track the activity of the configured accounts, respond to incoming emails, and send outbound emails. Email filters are less likely to flag emails from custom domains as spam, ensuring better deliverability rates.
