Composing a Normal Email Reply

The following procedure explains how to compose a normal reply to a customer email using
features available in the Email reply screen.
To compose a basic email reply to a customer:
1 Make sure that you are available to handle email by looking at the Email Channel button in
Avaya Agent. If the button shows a yellow X, click the button to make yourself available for
email.
You are now available to receive the number of email contacts that is set for you in your
channel load. See
loads. After you become available, any email contacts that are routed to you show up in the
Email task list.
2 In Avaya Agent, select a contact in the Email task list. If there is more than one contact, the
contacts are listed in reverse chronological order, that is, with the oldest contact at the top.
For information about the meaning of the icons, and the text displayed in the Origin and Time
columns, see
The Web Agent window opens in the Email Preview mode to show you information about this
email. The Information Bar displays "New inbound message from customer."
3 Read the message using the scroll bar, if necessary, to see the entire message.
4 Before you begin your reply, you can use any of the following buttons in the email toolbar, as
