New Applications

Bot Builder

Customers often reach out to contact centers for help with simple tasks, such as:
  • Answering common questions.
  • Changing account information.
  • Checking the status of an order.
These add up and can become time-consuming for your agents. With Bot Builder, you can create virtual agents, or bots, to handle these kinds of tasks. This allows your agents to concentrate on solving more complex issues. Because Bot Builder is native to Contact Center, the bots you create work seamlessly with your ACD and Digital messaging channels.
You can create your own bot with Bot Builder even if you have no coding knowledge or programming expertise. When you create a bot with Bot Builder, you train it using real conversations. You show the bot the data it needs, and it uses Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to respond. This kind of artificial intelligence (AI) also means the responses get better over time.
RingCentral Contact Center now offers Bot Builder as generally available. Previously it was in controlled release (CR) for a select number of customers.
Customers who have been using Bot Builder in Controlled Release will notice these new features in the Fall 2022 release:
  • Training and Deployment Improvements—You can check the status of your bot's training and deployment using the Bot Health Monitor. The Deployment page also includes more detail on all past deployments of your bot. Finally, the training process is up to four times faster with this release.
  • API Integrations Expansion—In addition to CXone Expert, the following API integrations are natively available to Bot Builder:
    • CXone Suite
    • CXone Digital First Omnichannel
    • CXone Studio
    • Salesforce
There is also a new custom API option that allows you to set up your own third-party API integration and select the authentication type.

  • Manage agent skills and proficiencies to balance the contact queues better.
  • View agent's sentiment score to provide more targeted assistance.
You must have the right permissions to use this application. For more information about the permissions, see the Admin section of this page.
With the Fall 2022 release, CXone Supervisor will become generally available. Previously it was in controlled release (CR) for a select number of customers.

Redesign of Employee Profile

There will be several changes to the design and organization of the employee profile. All functionality will remain the same. This update will make accessing employee data easier.

  • The new Security tab will incorporate the Access Key, Secondary Roles, and Visibility tabs.

Disposition-Based Time to Live (TTL)

You will be able to manage the lifecycle of interactions in your environment based on the dispositions that agents assign to them. This will enable you to store interactions for more or less time depending on how they went. You will manage the disposition-based lifecycle rules of your interactions in your cloud storage settings.
As part of this new lifecycle definition method, you will be able to correct the disposition associated with an interaction. When you do this, the lifecycle rules associated with the new disposition will apply to the interaction. This will help you maintain control over the storage of your interactions that don't perfectly match certain criteria.
You will need to contact your RingCentral Contact Center Account Representative or Support to obtain a license and enable this feature.

Prioritized Hold and Release on Interactions

You will be able to place holds on interactions in active and long-term storage. The held interactions will be safe from automatic or manual deletion. While an interaction is held, any lifecycle rules that have not yet run for the interaction will not execute. Users will still be able to retrieve the files while they are on hold. To request a hold or release an existing hold, you will be able to search for interactions based on a date range and Contact ID as the primary criteria, or you will be able to do an advanced search using team, agent, skill, and DNIS. The maximum Contact IDs per hold request will be 500. The user creating the request will be required to include a request name and a reason for creating the hold.

Feedback Management

These features are part of Feedback Management R40, which begins deployment on November 18, 2022.

Survey Response Limits by Customer Segment

Currently, you can set an overall limit for survey responses. This helps you better control survey costs. With this release, you will have a more granular option: ability to limit the number of survey responses based on any contact field. When the total allocated limit for the selected field is met each day, the system ensures no further responses are collected for that field by:
  • Displaying a message that the survey is no longer available to new respondents. Respondents with a partial response can still complete their survey.
  • Stopping further contacts from being loaded for the survey.
  • Sending no more survey invitations for that day.
While responses will no longer be collected for surveys based on that field, surveys will continue to be sent for other fields until the overall limit is reached. For example, if you set a field-based limit on city, and reach the limit for New York, surveys will continue to be sent for contacts in other cities.
Both complete and partial responses will be counted to determine when the limit is reached. In addition, you will be able to configure Feedback Management to send notifications to specified users as the limit is approached. This will let staff take appropriate action, such as limiting remaining invitations to key customers. You can disable this feature at any time.

Web Pop-Up Improvements

Adding a survey to an HTML page or application will be simplified and streamlined to make it easier to do. Both web pop-ups and slider 2-question surveys will be configured on the new Web Intercept page. This page will be available for new, modern theme surveys. Existing surveys will not be affected. At the same time, additional options will be added to make these surveys better meet customer needs.
For introductory text, enhancements will let you:
  • Choose whether to hide or show the text.

  • Translate text for multi-lingual web intercepts.
  • Choose whether to hide or show a logo. If a survey logo is enabled, it will be shown by default.
  • Separate buttons for taking the survey or cancelling.
  • Choose the display location for the pop-up within the HTML page.
  • Choose whether pop-ups should slide in or simply appear.
  • Choose whether the surveys displayed on a desktop should use 30% or 80% of the screen. Tablet and phone displays are always full screen.
  • Allow for continued interaction on the HTML page.

Scorecards for Single Select Questions

You will be able to add scorecards based on single select questions in a survey.

You will also be able to configure the colors for the scorecard.
