Walshed Phone Support Tool: Quick Setup and Troubleshooting Guide

Overview

Walshed Phone Support Tool is a phone-based customer support application designed to streamline call handling, ticket creation, and agent workflows. It integrates with ticketing systems, offers call routing and recording, and provides real-time agent status and basic analytics to improve response times.

Quick Setup (10–15 minutes)

1. Create account
   • Sign up at Walshed’s portal and verify your email.
2. Add users
   • Invite agents by email and assign roles (Agent, Supervisor, Admin).
3. Configure phone numbers
   • Port existing numbers or provision new numbers via the Numbers section.
4. Set routing rules
   • Define business hours, IVR menu, and skill-based routing.
5. Integrate ticketing/CRM
   • Connect Zendesk, Freshdesk, or CRM via API keys in Integrations.
6. Set recording & privacy
   • Enable call recording, set retention period, and configure agent disclaimers.
7. Test calls
   • Make inbound/outbound test calls to verify routing, recordings, and ticket creation.

Common Troubleshooting (symptoms → fixes)

• No incoming calls
  • Check number provisioning and DNS/SIP trunk settings; confirm business hours and routing rules.
• Calls drop or poor audio
  • Verify network bandwidth, SIP trunk stability, and codec settings; test from another network.
• Agent can’t log in
  • Reset password, confirm role assignment, and check that SSO (if used) is configured.
• Tickets not created
  • Confirm integration API keys, webhook endpoints, and mapping rules; review logs for errors.
• Recordings missing
  • Check recording toggle per queue, storage quota, and retention policy settings.
• IVR options not working
  • Review DTMF settings, IVR flow configuration, and confirm mapping to queues or agents.

Best Practices

• Monitor SLAs with built-in reports and set alerts for missed targets.
• Use call scripting for consistent agent responses.
• Rotate numbers for marketing campaigns and track performance.
• Regularly export recordings for QA and storage backup.
• Train agents on common flows and escalation paths.

When to Contact Support

• Persistent call quality issues after network checks
• SIP trunk or carrier provisioning failures
• Integration authentication errors you cannot resolve via logs
