🔹 User Experience Enhancements

  • Full-Screen Interaction ViewMajor Update
    Interaction is now available in full screen view to all users. Take your customer experience to next level by using the same screen for Voice Calls (Phone & Browser), WhatsApp Call (Incoming), WhatsApp Messages, Video & SMS. Interaction pane is now deprecated & full screen will be opened by default on clicking the Interaction icon.
  • Supervisor-Based Manual Interaction AssignmentNew Feature
    Brands can now leverage by adding their supervisor on Interaction for him to assign the Interaction to his team for faster assignment. All new Interaction (Queue) will be available to the supervisor, and a list of available team members will be shown to allow manual assignment.
  • Inbound/Outbound Interaction Restriction
    We have added flexibility for Account Owner/Supervisor to decide if a user can
  1. Only start a new Interaction, or
  2. Only work on incoming (queue) Interaction, or
  3. Do both (Outbound & Inbound)

This flexibility is targeted for use cases like

  1. A Relation Manager/Agent is assigned by a supervisor
  2. Users should be allowed to Interact with existing contact
  3. Click-to-Interaction in Contacts (Browser Only)
    You can now directly start a Interaction by click on ‘CTI button' against the contact. This will work even in case number masking is enabled and you will not have to enter the customer/lead’s number in Interaction.

    Redesigned UI offers new Active Call and Post Call screens in AceConnect for easier access to quick functions like disposition, hangup, call back. More quick actions will be available in coming releases.
