Feature

Description

Add Call Recording Pause / Resume for CX Voice

Agents can now pause and resume live call recording directly from Agent Desk during an active CX Voice call, with a clear on-screen indicator showing whether recording is started, paused, or disabled.

This lets agents protect sensitive information such as a PIN or payment details from being captured. Recording continues in the same file during the pause, with the sensitive portion masked, so that information never appears in playback.

Outbound Campaigns

Feature

Description

Add Non-Voice Outbound Campaigns (Email, WhatsApp, SMS)

CX Campaigns now supports non-voice outbound campaigns, allowing you to reach customers via Email, WhatsApp, and SMS in addition to voice.

Contact centers can run multi-channel outreach, such as promotions, reminders, or surveys, through the same Campaign Dashboard and flow builder used for voice campaigns, without needing separate tools.

Add Preview Dialing Mode for CX Voice Campaigns

CX Voice Campaigns now support Preview dialing mode, in which the dialer connects to the agent first and places the customer call only after the agent accepts.
This gives agents the chance to review customer context before every call and ensures each attempt is deliberate, useful for high-value or compliance-sensitive outbound calling. Calls the agent skips or doesn't answer are excluded from future dialing automatically.

Bug Fixes

Feature

Description

Fix Recording Link Upload for CX Voice in Multi-Tenant Environments

Issue: In multi-tenant environments running both CX Voice and Cisco UCCX, recording links for CX Voice calls were not being uploaded, even though Cisco UCCX recording links continued to upload successfully.

Resolution: Link Uploader now correctly retrieves and uploads CX Voice recording links in multi-tenant deployments, so CX Voice recordings appear in Interaction History alongside Cisco UCCX recordings as expected.
