Prerequisites

The first step in setting up your Appian contact center is selecting a communications provider. Appian ICC supports Twilio and Genesys PureEngage 8.5.

If your contact center will be powered by Genesys PureEngage, refer to the Genesys component page for setup details.

If your contact center will be powered by Twilio, the following sections detail the set up using ICC with Twilio.

Twilio Setup

ICC comes packaged with Twilio, so your Twilio account will be managed by Appian. Before you start the setup process, make sure you have the proper network configurations to use Twilio. Please ensure the following requirements are met:

• Bi-directional network connectivity between the Appian server and Twilio
• Agent browser connectivity to Twilio (view detailed requirements)
  • Run Twilio's network test to ensure connectivity from a client machine (all voice related tests must pass)

ICC uses Google Dialogflow Enterprise Edition for virtual agent and agent assist features. The following prerequisites apply if you are using these features:

• Google Cloud Platform account
• All agents will need a Google account to use agent assist features
• An Appian service account will need a Google account to use virtual agent features

Setup Steps

Here are the steps you'll follow to setup ICC with Twilio:

1. Downloading ICC - Download all the necessary setup files before you start
2. Setting up Google Dialogflow - Optional setup to configure Google Dialogflow for virtual agent and agent assist features
3. Setting up the ICC Application - Import and configure the application
4. Setting Up a Web Chat Client - Optional setup to chat with ICC agents from a web page

Reminder: These steps must be completed for each Appian environment running ICC.
