With all chat history retained in the asynchronous communication format, both brands and customers benefit from streamlined interactions and enhanced privacy.

Help Agents with Zendesk tasks during a Call

Maintaining continuity and context in customer interactions is necessary to minimize caller frustration from multiple transfers, and to mitigate security risks associated with unidentified callers. [24]7 Assist Omnichannel plugin for Zendesk overcomes these challenges by automating profile lookup and ticket creation. It enhances the ticketing process by consolidating multiple transfers into a single ticket, and ensures continuity of context, reducing transfer times. The feature creates dummy profiles for calls originating from specific phone numbers, promoting cautiousness among agents when handling calls where true customer identity may not be established immediately. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces incidents of false identification.

This streamlined process not only enhances efficiency but also automatically fetches pertinent details from the ongoing call, facilitating the creation of Active Share sessions and ultimately improving the overall customer experience.

Business With Flexible Hours? Handle Calls Better by Setting Specific Hours of Operations for Agents for Each Queue

With this feature, businesses with different operational hours for distinct lines of business can now exercise greater control over the customer experience, ensuring that calls are directed to the most appropriate agents based on availability and expertise This feature allows defining Hours of Operation (HOOPs) per queue, enhancing routing for voice calls. With queue-specific HOOPs, clients with varying hours of operations for different lines of business can control the customer experience more flexibly and meet the unique needs of customers.

Conversation Automation

Flexible Handling of Missing or Erroneous Inputs During a Conversation

Conversation Designers can now tailor the behavior of conversation flows by configuring responses to No-Match (NM) or No-Input (NI) scenarios. Designers can now specify whether the conversation should proceed to a particular node after encountering NM/NI, in addition to existing options like waiting, escalating, or disconnecting. This feature enhances containment rates and provides flexibility in designing conversational flows.

Advanced Conversational Analytics

Smarter QA Management: Review Interactions & Give Feedback in One Place

With the growing complexity of customer interactions across various channels, such as calls, chats, and emails, there arises a need for a unified platform that manages Quality Assurance (QA) activities efficiently. The Quality Evaluation Form, now seamlessly integrated within [24] Conversation Insights (CI), alongside call playback and transcription features, simplifies the entire QA workflow. This enhancement consolidates feedback processes into a single, efficient interface, eliminating the need for additional tools like Excel.
