New Features

PBI Description
78065

Chained Adaptive Cards Adaptive Cards are preformatted boilerplate messages that can be selected by an agent to be sent to a client. They are written using an open card exchange format that allows the developers to 'write once' and share with any compliant host application.

It is now possible to link adaptive cards in a chain of interactive moments, enabling use cases where a first answer informs which second interaction is presented. See: Chaining Adaptive Cards

79989

Integration with Workforce Management system Verint.

Agent statuses and dialogue activities can feed the WFM system to enable agent coaching, planning prediction and other tools to optimize service departments. For more information see: Workforce Management

75802

Queue text sessions in specific Skill directly from Dialogue Studio
The Dialogue Manager Enqueue Node has a new configuration option in which you can specify a Skill. If a Skill is specified and exists in the UCC A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location., the session will be queued in the matching Skill immediately. If no Skill is specified, or the Skill cannot be found in the UCC, the Plugin Flow Settings will be triggered to determine the Skill and the session will be queued accordingly. See the Enqueue node for more information.

76148

Play message when marked as Voicemail.

Added VoicemailMessage and VoicemailAudioMessage columns to the CampaignDialer items in the SharePoint OutboundDialer Calls list.

When one of the CampaignDialer item columns is filled and the agent marks the campaign dialer session "as voicemail" (pressing *), a message will be played to the customer's voicemail box and the session will be disconnected. In the meantime, the agent is getting disconnected from the session.

When webchat times out, the agent side is informed and can close, but customer side can continue to send chats. The messaging system is refactored ensuring consistency between agent and customer.

77417

Unable to retrieve dialogue that is already connected to the agent.

Agents could see that they had several emails in a connected state in the email dialogue provider, but no emails in their personal queue. Even if they went through the list of emails in the connected queue, they did not have the ability to open or take the email that they were connected to.

81083

Improved the behavior of the Text editor in the WebAgent

Text that is deleted prior to sending could reappear and be sent to the customer. This only happened if the last keystroke was backspace prior to hitting send

Also improved Predefined responses (Canned responses) that could send as blank or deleted when selected.

80752

Kiribati National number prefix.
Numbers from Kiribati could not be handled by the WebAgent Service, this is no longer the case.

78981

A double failed blind transfer could lead to an Agent reservation being stuck.

When the Agent performed a blind transfer to the same contact twice, it could lead to the reservation not being released. If the reservation was not released, no new hunt would be offered to that agent. This is no longer the case.

76446

Retry time from dialers showed server time.

This has been changed to show the regional time that is configured in SharePoint.

78798

Snapper UCC Statistics remain visible on incoming hunt.
UCC statistics disappeared when a call came through the UCC, requiring a few steps to reload the statistics. This no longer occurs and statistics remain available, regardless of incoming calls.
