Five9 Blended is Five9’s inbound + outbound “blended” contact-center capability designed to allow agents to move between inbound queues and outbound calling lists without logging in or out of separate systems. The vendor describes this capability as reducing functional separation between inbound ACD, outbound dialers, and CRM/CTI integrations—particularly for teams that run both service (inbound) and sales/collections/proactive (outbound) workflows.
Five9 describes the Blended Contact Center as enabling agents to switch between inbound and outbound workflows, supported by an "Active Blending" feature set, within the broader Five9 cloud platform.

Vendor description (not independently verified): Five9 states it developed both inbound and outbound software in-house.
