Overview
Webex Contact Center management is part of VOSS Contact Center Management, which is an add-on to VOSS UC Automation and requires the VOSS Core Platform. Contact center features follow the same platform principles used throughout VOSS:
This ensures a consistent operational experience when managing Webex Calling, Webex Contact Center, and other UC services from a single platform.
Webex Contact Center Management in VOSS focuses on agent administration and related configuration, providing centralized visibility, controlled access, and automation for day-to-day operational tasks.
Access to features and data is controlled using role-based access control (RBAC) and organizational segmentation, ensuring users see and manage only what is relevant to their role.
Webex Contact Center management becomes available in VOSS after the required platform and integration configuration has been completed, including enabling the Contact Center Customer setting for the connected Webex Organization.
Contact Center Management supports both enterprise and service-provider environments, including scenarios where multiple organizations or customers are managed from a single platform.
Once enabled, Automate provides tools to manage contact center agents and related configuration using the same operational model as other UC services, including hierarchy-based segmentation, role-based access control, automation, and audit tracking.
When Webex Contact Center is enabled, VOSS provides configuration and management capabilities for the following areas:
These features allow administrators to manage agent capacity, routing behavior, and agent experience from a single interface.

For continuity and ease of use, the menu structure and terminology for Contact Center Management in VOSS closely follow the layout used in the Webex Control Hub. This allows administrators who are already familiar with Control Hub to navigate and manage contact center configuration with minimal retraining.
Administrators can view agent, license, and configuration data for Webex Contact Center alongside other UC services managed in VOSS, providing a centralized operational view across UC and contact center environments.
In addition to mirroring the Control Hub structure, VOSS introduces capabilities that support controlled administration at scale.
VOSS uses an internal business hierarchy to segment Webex Contact Center configuration data by region, site, or organizational unit. This makes it possible to:
All access and configuration changes are governed by RBAC policies and recorded in transaction logs, supporting centralized oversight, auditability, and consistent operational control.
This administration model is suited to environments with high agent churn, multiple operational teams, or shared service ownership.
Contact Center Management streamlines common agent lifecycle tasks, including:
Agent onboarding and changes can be performed individually, in bulk, or through automated workflows such as flow-through provisioning from identity sources or IT service management platforms. All configuration changes are logged, providing a complete transaction history for operational review.
Timely agent offboarding helps ensure unused contact center licenses are released and made available for reuse.
Webex Contact Center management in Automate supports:
Automation of repetitive administrative tasks, reducing manual effort and configuration errors Bulk operations for agent and configuration changes at scale Integration with external systems using APIs, including HR systems, ITSM platforms, and other business applications Dashboards and summaries that provide visibility into agent capacity, license usage, and configuration status, with access controlled by role
These capabilities help administrators respond more quickly to operational change while maintaining consistent governance.

Overview
This collection of features provides a single view of customer-specific functionality and reflects the layout in the Webex Control Hub.
Channels
Channels can be managed in Automate.
Queues
Queues can be managed in Automate.
A Queue Type (Inbound, Outbound) and Channel Type (Telephony, Email, Chat or Social Channel) is selected for a queue.
For outbound queue types, the channel types defaults to TELEPHONY and the Queue Routing Type is the agent who has been available for the longest time in all teams assigned to the queue.
Business Hours
Business hours can be managed in Automate and are used to define one or more shifts containing for example regular work hours, peak hours, off-peak hours and required for the operation of a specific contact center.
These are defined by working hours, a selected holiday list and overrides to working hours.
For the management of holidays and overrides, see: Webex Contact Center Advanced.
Audio files
Audio prompt files can be imported, moved, and purged in VOSS. They can't be created or edited in the VOSS UI.
These are audio files containing, for example, predefined chat responses and music on hold.
Flows
Call flows can only be imported but not created or edited in Automate.
The flows are designed on the Webex Control Hub Flow Designer and allow for the routing of real-time calls through the system, how agents are assigned to calls and what occurs at each stage of the process. This is done by the configuration of activities and events.
