Not much more to add here, except +1 for calling in IPCC. :) you’d have gotten +2 if you called it CRA. ;)
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But, seriously, you have to weigh the pros and cons of injecting a point of failure vs ease of administration. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My thought process is, can you build automatic recovery? Or easily understood manual backup. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And is the design something you can easily hand off to someone?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lots of things to consider. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Agreed with TIm, it's just simpler to involve less systems if you can. With 12.0 UCCX and higher, the calendar function is a nice addition, no more XML files for schedules.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It seems to me that there's not a "best practice" label for most scenarios. When I started with UCCX, we went to a call handler first to provide us with an easy way to provide a schedule, and a familiar way for the customer to record a
greeting. Later, we ended up building the schedule into our script and directing calls to the trigger. That's my preference, just to involve less systems.

Subject: [External] [cisco-voip] IPCC best practice<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello, I just have a quick question.<br>
When setting up a call center for a SMB, Is it best practice to have the main number go to a unity call handler 1st, with caller input going to uccx triggers, or is it considered best practice to have the main number go right to CCX? I have seen both ways.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
