Description
Services are customer commitments defined by the business application (IVR, Orchestration, Agent, etc.) which interacts with the customer. Each service potentially spans multiple interactions over a variety of media channels. Each service can be divided into States which include a list of Tasks. The service is completed once the states and their tasks are completed. Your application is responsible for state transitions and task management. The service resources (creation, start, or end) are managed through Service Operations, which update the service information through service events (Start Event and End Events).
