Webitel user

The user of Webitel telephony system. In addition to using CRM, he can already make and manage calls from the CTI panel (CTI panel is one of the telephony tools in Creatio CRM. A Webitel user can receive incoming and outgoing calls, both internal and external, directly in the system).

Agent

This is a Webitel user who can receive calls from queues. Skills, teams, statuses can be applied to him. agents also work with automatic calls (dialers). agents have the ability to work with statuses: change and manage statuses in the Call Center mode: "Waiting", "Break", "Callcenter".
You can learn more about managing agent statuses here.

Skills

The skill set of a contact center agent. It is also a skill for queues. Agents with the queue skill participate in processing calls from the assigned queue. A quantitative measure of skill is capacity.

Teams

Agent teams for working in the contact center. Agent teams are used to work with queues. One administrator and one or more supervisors can be assigned to a team. 

A Webitel user who has a "Call Center" licence can become an agent.
