Managing agent routing profiles

Zoom Contact Center admins can add and edit routing profiles. Routing profiles route engagements to the appropriate agents that can best meet their needs based on previously-created skills. Each routing profile can contain a combination of skills that are prioritized. A higher proficiency rating means an agent is better at that skill.

For example, if you previously created a language and warranty skill category, you can create a routing profile to route engagements based on language proficiency and whether agents are able to process warranties. This list illustrates a routing profile with priorities and skills.

1. English skill (level 3 or higher proficiency)
2. English skill (level 2 or higher proficiency)
3. Warranty skill

After creating a routing profile, you can assign it to a queue so that inbound engagements are routed accordingly. When agents transfer a voice or SMS engagement to a queue with an agent routing profile, they can specify the associated skills so that the engagement is routed accordingly.
