Sub-Status Selection During "Engaged" State for Mid-Call Task Tracking (RingCX)
Hi Team,
I am submitting a high-impact Feature Request on behalf of a RingCX customer who manages a high-volume Customer Service Representative (CSR) team.
Customer Use Case & Workflow
The customer’s team frequently handles multi-purpose interactions where a single customer call covers multiple distinct topics (e.g., spending the first few minutes on a billing dispute, then transitioning to processing a payment).
The customer wants supervisors to be able to monitor exactly what an agent's current call is about in real time and track how long they spend on each specific task within that single live interaction.
Proposed Feature / Ideal Solution
The customer is requesting the ability for agents to change or update their sub-status while in the "ENGAGED" state, allowing them to specify the active purpose of the call dynamically.
Ideally, this feature would support:
Mid-Call Status Swapping: While a call is live and the agent is locked in an active call state, they can use a drop-down menu to select or swap between custom sub-statuses (e.g., switching from "Billing Inquiry" to "Payment Processing") as the conversation moves forward.
Real-Time Supervisor Monitoring: Supervisors viewing the supervisor dashboard can see the exact active sub-status alongside the "Engaged" state, giving them clear visibility into what the live call is about at any given moment.
Granular Historical Reporting: The backend reporting engine tracks the precise duration of each sub-status assigned during the call, providing a timeline breakdown of how team members spend their time on a single multi-purpose interaction (e.g., Engaged: 15 mins total | Billing sub-status: 5 mins | Payment Processing sub-status: 10 mins).
Why Current Functionality Falls Short
Currently, in RingCX, when an agent takes a call, their global availability status automatically locks to a uniform "Engaged" state to secure the line and maintain routing integrity. Because agents cannot modify or apply a sub-category to this state mid-call, supervisors lose real-time visibility into multi-topic conversations, and the business cannot accurately measure the duration of specific tasks managed during a single call.
This feature would significantly improve operational tracking and workforce optimization for multi-tier support teams.
