Introducing Conversations [Early Access]
A single workspace for customer service teams where they can view and manage customer conversations from beginning to end, across any messaging channel, with ease.
Consumers want to interact with brands in the same way that they would with other people, through their preferred channels, whether it be Facebook Messenger, SMS, or WhatsApp. However, there is a big gap between a contact center’s ability to adopt digital channels to connect with customers in a scalable way and what customers expect.
For most businesses, interacting with customers across multiple channels often leads to disconnected experiences. It’s difficult for customer service teams to carry forward the context of a conversation from one channel to another, as well as interpret data-driven insights that contribute to overall customer satisfaction when agents must rely on notes alone.
Today, we’re announcing Conversations [Early Access] — a single workspace for agents that unifies messaging channels and empowers teams to easily talk with customers, while unlocking insights by understanding the customer’s most pressing needs.
The following features will be available to test during the Early Access period:
Engage with Customers on the Channels They Prefer
Many consumers consider messaging apps to be one of the most effective communication channels in their daily lives.
For the beta release, we’ll support SMS, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Viber. Accelerate your time-to-resolution by meeting customers on the channels of their choice.
Unified Workspace for your Team
With Conversations, agents and customers can switch between communication channels without disruption. For example, when the conversation moves from WhatsApp to SMS, the chat history and context moves along with it, creating a single, continuous conversation thread in a single workspace.
Full Conversation History
The advantage of never having to ask your customers to repeat themselves.
Agents will be able to instantly pick up the conversation where a previous interaction left off. By connecting interactions from the first contact to the most recent from any channel, agents can seamlessly continue the conversation without asking the customer to repeat the entire history of the issue.
