Core platform Improvements
Features | Description |
---|---|
Agent SLA Improvements | The agent-manager now directly manages SLA timers based on incoming AGENT and CUSTOMER messages, simplifying the flow and eliminating the need for additional AMQ events. Previously, the Conversation Monitor was publishing SLA_STARTED events to AMQ on every customer message and SLA_STOPPED events on every agent message. This approach introduced unnecessary load on AQM and the network, resulting in performance issues. |
With the Auto Sync MRD feature, when an agent sets its Agent State to Ready, all associated MRDs configured for auto-sync are automatically transitioned to the Ready state as well. |
Agent Experience Improvements
Features | Description |
---|---|
This allows agents to add the consulted agent to a conference with the customer in an ongoing conversation to collaborate and assist the customer together. When another agent is added to the conversation, it becomes a conferenced conversation. The newly added agent in the conference has the same level of rights and permissions as the first primary agent in the conversation. This also implies that if the first agent leaves the conversation, the conference will continue with the agents in the conversation. | |
The theme of the Grafana dashboard is now synced with the EFCX AgentDesk theme. With this implementation, whenever someone changes the AgentDesk UI theme from dark to light or light to dark, the change of theme also applies to the grafana theme. | |
The time format for displaying the stats of AWT and AHT is now being shown in HH:MM:SS format. |
