{Omnichannel} Automatically remove customer off hold on call transfer

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the call handing automatically remove customer off hold on call transfer(preview feature).

Let's get's started.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service Omnichannel - Customer calls and the agent pick up the call and then the call needs to be transferred to another agent, in that case the call put on hold and transfer the call.

So when the transferred call being answered by another agent then the call automatically taken off from hold. Tranferring agent need need not be done anything.

This feature still in preview. 

Note: If this feature needs to disabled then system administrators can turn off from the Customer Service Admin Center.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.

{Omnichannel} Automatically pause, resume call recording and transcription

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the preview feature where you can automatically pause, resume call recording and transcription.

Let's get's started.

When agents puts a customer on hold and removes the customer from hold the call recording and transcription are automatically paused and resumed.

Customer Service Agents manually puts the customer on hold, the recording and transcription will automatically pause.

Call which is paused automatically resume when the customer service agent take the customer off hold.

This helps ensure that the agents say while the customer is on hold is not captured in the transcript(which is usally meant to be an exchange between the customer and the agent.

Note: By default this feature is not available and it must be set per channel at the workstream level.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.

{How to} Turn on release feature to monthly channel for Power Platform environments

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show how to turn on the monthly channel(preview feature) for model driven app.

Let's get's started.

Login into www.make.powerapps.com

Click on the Apps and Open the Dynamics 365 Customer Service Hub and then settings.

So model  driven apps running in Power Platform environments with the app release channel value of Auto will use monthly channel  starting with 2024 release wave 1.

New feature is the next step in gradually shifting from semi-annual channel to monthly channel to provide users with improvements as they become available.

Apps in Dynamics 365 enabled environments with the app release channel value of Auto will come to use semi-annual channel until the 2024 release wave 2.

App release channel types:

1. Auto: This feature allow wave releases should be automatically applies to the model driven app, if the maker has not  made an explicit selection of monthly or semiannual.

2. Monthly: This applies to the new apps are created they default to Monthly.

3. Semi Annual : Makers can use the app designer to set the app release channel to Semi-Annual Channel before the 2024 release wave 1 to ensure no channel behavior.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the deploy copilots to WhatsApp, Azure Communication Services Chat and SMS channels.

Let's get's started.

Microsoft Copilot Studio  allows creators to connect with their consumer and enterprise audiences across various channels. In collaboration with Azure Communication Services, Copilot Studio is introducing support for the following channels:

These channels represent some of the largest addressable audiences for copilots, and they enhance the reach and engagement capabilities of Copilot Studio. 

Creators can provision and Azure Communication Services resource, and then connect their copilots to these new channels. Whether it's reaching users of WhatsApp, engaging via SMS, or providing chat-based solutions, Copilot Studio is expanding its capabilities to meet diverse communication needs.

Note: This is still preview functionality.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps.
