Global Changes

User Account Switching

This update will allow you to switch between your accounts without having to log out and back in again. You will have to log in to your primary account before you can switch between your primary and secondary accounts.

Removed Applications and Features

Google Cookie Deprecation

Google will deprecate their third-party cookies by the end of 2024. Because of this, you may see issues in your Agent for SCV screen pops. To prevent issues from Google's cookie deprecation, you will need to enable clickjack protection in your Salesforce application. You will also have to add two URLs as trusted domains. This update will also help protect you from clickjack attacks.

New Applications

Accelerated Business Continuity

NICE CXone will be able to create a secondary tenant for you in a separate region. This will allow your contact center to continue running in case of an emergency. If your primary tenant is unable to function, then NICE CXone can migrate your agents and calls to the secondary tenant. After your secondary tenant is set up, you will be able to create a template user. This user should only have the minimum necessary skills, scripts, and points of contact for your agents to do their jobs. NICE CXone will apply this template to each of your agents during migration. The secondary tenant will only support voice channels.

Set Up Single Logout with OpenID Connect Login Authenticators

Currently, logging out of CXone does not log users out of their OpenID Connect external identity provider (IdP). Users have to log out of both applications separately. In this release, when users log out of CXone, they will also be logged out of their IdP. This functionality is known as single logout. To configure single logout with your IdP, you will have to enter an End Session Endpoint in your OpenID Connect login authenticator. This field will automatically be filled in if you enter a discovery endpoint from your IdP. If you do not have a discovery endpoint, then you can edit the field manually. This update will make it easier for users to log out of CXone and their IdP.

Upload GDPR Requests in a New Privacy Page

As part of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), end users have the right to erasure. This means if a contact requests that you delete their data, you have to delete or anonymize all their personal information. This includes the information housed in CXone. Currently, to erase their information , you have to manually forward their request to CXone. In this release, you will be able to upload these GDPR requests on a new privacy page in Admin. You will be able to upload the requests manually on the privacy page or in bulk with a bulk upload template. CXone will only be able to identify your contact through their phone number or email address. This update will make it easier to comply with the GDPR.

Custom agent assist integrations allow you to use any agent assist application with CXone. This is helpful for organizations that use an agent assist application that isn't natively supported in Agent Assist Hub. Custom integrations require additional planning and custom scripting.

Google Cookie Deprecation

Google will deprecate their third-party cookies by the end of 2024. Because of this, you may see issues in your SCV screen pops. To prevent issues from Google's cookie deprecation, you will need to enable clickjack protection in your Salesforce application. You will also have to add two URLs as trusted domains.

Clickjack Protection with Click2Jack

You will be able to set up clickjack protection with Click2Jack. Clickjacking occurs when an attacker adds an element, like a button, to your site to get users to click on it. Once the user has clicked on the malicious button, they are routed to the attacker's site. Enabling Click2Jack will help protect you from clickjack attacks. It will also prevent issues from Google's third-party cookie deprecation. For more details about Google's cookie deprecation see the previous note.

 

To set up these protections and prevent further issues, you will need to enable Click2Jack in your Salesforce application . You will also need to add the following URLs as trusted domains:

  • https://mydomain.lightning.force.com
  • https://mydomain.my.salesforce.com

Updates to After Call Work

There will be several updates to After Call Work (ACW). Agents will be able to:

  • Manually exit an ACW state by changing their state in the omnichannel widget. This will remove the need to navigate to the after-call widget to exit an ACW state.
  • Select their next state during a call. The next state can either override ACW or come after the ACW state depending on your settings.
  • Make outbound calls while in an unavailable state. After the outbound call, the agent will return to that unavailable state instead of going into an ACW state.
  • Select an ACW state instead of returning to an available state after a call. Agents will be able to stay in that ACW state until they are ready to return to an available state.

These updates will give you and your agents more control over agent states.
