Create Outbound Request
An outbound request allows initiating a new dialog with a client on behalf of the operator. This instruction will show how to create a new dialog or ticket for proactive communication with a client.
When Needed
- You need to proactively contact a client.
- You need to create a ticket for internal tracking of an issue.
- You want to initiate a new dialog without waiting for a message from the client.
- You need to formalize a task for the team or pass information to a client.
What's Important to Know
- Outbound request — dialog or ticket initiated by an operator, not a client.
- Can be created as a dialog or as a ticket depending on the issue type.
- Creating requires client information (communication channel, contact details).
- Outbound request is displayed in the request list with a corresponding indicator.
