Also, Agent for Salesforce will no longer support Internet Explorer 11 beginning with this release.
Initiate Outbound Messaging SMS Contact as New Contact
  • Agents using Messaging SMS will be able to initiate an outbound SMS contact without associating it with an existing contact.
Click-to-Dial Elevation
  • Agents will be able to use click-to-dial to elevate an interaction with an assigned Salesforce contact.
Agent Experience Enhancements

  • Sort the skill list by skills, queue, and wait time.
  • Receive commitment reminders one minute before they are due.
Administrator Experience Enhancements
You will be able to:
  • Control the visibility of the Delete button in the commitment manager.

Configure Task Creation for Omnichannel Session Handling Contacts with Elevation

911 Dialing

Integrated Softphone Enhancements
  • You will be able to set the ring tone that is played when a call is presented to the agent. You will also be able to enable auto-accept, resulting in agents in the available state automatically accepting calls instead of having to manually accept them.
Interaction Analytics
The following features are included in the November 2020 Minor Release.
Dataset Sampling
You will have the option to view a sample of interactions per dataset, rather than all interactions. This will result in faster load times when you have a large amount of data. Indicators in a slider will inform you when you are in a percentage that results in the fastest loading times, intermediate load times, and when you are within a range that will result in longer load times. This will empower you to decide whether to wait a bit longer for results or decrease the sample size.
