Currently, agents configured in Omnichannel Delivery Mode are subject to an AND type of configuration. For example, an agent configured with a Total Contact Count of 3 can receive one voice and two chat interactions at the same time. This often leads to overworked agents.
In this release, a new Channel Lock setting will break the AND methodology by temporarily locking an agent to the channel they're currently handling. If the agent has a Total Contact Count of 3, they will now be able to treat these channels with more independence. The agent can now receive one voice OR two chat interactions, but not both at the same time. When the agent's interactions have ended, the lock will end. The agent will then be able to receive interactions from any configured channel.
This feature will allow your agents to handle time-sensitive interactions like chats and phone calls without becoming overworked.
To use this feature, you must have dynamic delivery enabled for your environment. The team or user profile you're configuring must have Omnichannel set as the Delivery Mode. User settings override team settings.

In this release, Contact Center will be able to block the entire record of the contact if one of their destinations matches the DNC list. This update will help you stay in compliance with the FCC's one to one consent rule.

Currently, when a third-party virtual agent provider encounters a problem, the Studio script waits for the provider platform to resolve the issue or to send an error. This could cause the contact to wait up to two minutes.
In this release, you will be able to configure a new timeout setting called External Provider Timeout. This will allow you to set the amount of time, between 30 seconds and two minutes, that the Studio script waits for the provider platform to respond. If the timeout is reached, the script will proceed, taking the error branch. This change will help you prevent the contact from experiencing unacceptable delays during an interaction.
