Load the approved sources your team uses. Sofie asks relevant follow-up questions, keeps the conversation focused and passes questions outside that information to the right person. Keep time-sensitive information up to date; a supplied document is not a live system connection.

Broadband outage in a suburb

“My internet’s down in Glenfield. Is there an outage?”

There247 asks: Is that fibre or wireless broadband? Sofie also confirms the caller’s name and callback number when a handoff is needed.

Captures: Service type, suburb and reported issue. Caller name and callback number if follow-up is requested.

Next step: The latest service update lists a fibre outage in Glenfield. It doesn’t give a restoration time yet. Would you like the status page link? Read the provider’s approved status update. If the update doesn’t cover the reported fault or the caller still needs help, route the enquiry to broadband support.

Set up the questions and the next step

Load the right information

Published plans, approved setup guides, roaming policies and current service notices. Staff verify identity before checking private account information.

Agree the routing

Choose who receives broadband outage in a suburb enquiries and who handles unexpected charge on a mobile bill requests. Provide branch contacts, coverage hours and any approved escalation rules.

Test the fallback

Test an answered call, a question missing from the knowledge sources and a transfer nobody accepts. Agree what the caller hears and who follows up.

Common questions

Can There247 confirm bookings, availability or account changes?

The examples on this page capture and route enquiries. Your team confirms bookings, stock, attendance and account changes. Sofie can share approved information, including supplied prices or availability, with any relevant date or limitation.

What if the caller needs a person?

Sofie can introduce the caller to the appropriate team member under your rules. Warm transfers are available on Premium and Business. If nobody answers, use your agreed fallback and notification route.

Can we use it only when the team is busy or closed?

Yes. Agree when calls should reach There247 and configure the routing for your existing number and phone provider. Test the arrangement before relying on it.
