Moments

Facebook forms

With Facebook Lead ads, you can find people who might be interested in your products or services and collect information from them through Facebook forms. Store all their responses in Moments and use this data in an actionable way. Immediately and automatically respond to their submissions and create segments based on inputs from Facebook to provide a personalized experience.

All you need to do is connect your Facebook business account via Infobip Apps and engage audiences through Moments.

Opt-out forms

When opt-outs happen, it`s beneficial to learn more about the reasons. You can now use opt-out forms on the “Unsubscribed” page to conduct a survey and see the results. This will let you act accordingly and prevent churn.

People

Customer - Default Profile Type in People

You can now select a type of person`s profile when creating a new profile from API.

Character Rules for Profile Creation and Editing

To prevent an error when creating or editing profiles, don`t use these characters:  & < > " / \ \n \r : ( ) { } = ; # in the First Name, Last Name, Middle Name and Nickname fields.

Conversations

Calls - Device Settings

EARLY-ACCESS

With the aim to reduce friction and noise in agents' everyday work and ensure that they can quickly and effortlessly configure the desired input and output devices, we have added options for device settings (camera, microphone & speakers) for audio and video calls. As the agents configure these devices they can verify that they are functioning properly.

Mobile App

All Work

Until now, Conversations mobile app users have usually been provided the list of their assigned conversations in the My Work view, extended by search capabilities in all conversations.

Now we have added a new sidebar that will help both Agents and Supervisors switch between additional views:

  • All work
  • Unassigned
  • All chatbots
  • History

Call Wrap-up

Added a wrap-up window after the call has ended. Agents can enter the call summary in the wrap-up field. This way they can summarize the call without any delay during the dedicated wrap-up time, which can be extended if needed.

Workflows

Added the ability for Supervisors to organize Workflows in ordered lists, meaning that the system will execute the Workflows based on their order from first to last.

Service-level Agreement

EARLY-ACCESS

Introducing SLAto Conversations. This will help Supervisors to faster recognize breached SLA in conversations and proceed to quickly resolve such conversations to avoid long SLA breaches. This is beneficial to Supervisors as it gives them a tool to focus on the most important issues based on the severity level.

Analytics

We have renamed the existing Resolution time to Total resolution time. This was done so we could differentiate the two, where the Total resolution time tracks the entire conversation from start to finish including the agent, chatbot, and the unassigned time spent. The Resolution time portion is tied to the Total resolution time but it doesn't count in the chatbot time.

Voice and Video

Conferencing Improvements

We are constantly improving the Conferencingfeature, extending the capabilities to fit our clients' business needs. Conferencing is now supported on all operating systems.

IVR over API

Added new IVR elements.

Free Trial

Free Trial available for our Voice and Video solution.
