Omnichannel for Customer Service


 

Omnichannel for Customer Service provides omnichannel capabilities for Dynamics 365. Giving us web chat, SMS, voice and more directly within Dynamics 365.

Other related functionality includes Unified Routing to intelligently allocate work items to agents and also the Customer Service Workspace which gives agents a multi-session UI. And not forgetting Power Virtual Agents that can be used as voice IVRs or webchat BOTs.

Since the launch of Omnichannel I have often blogged about its capabilities. In this post I will create a collection of links to all of my posts concerning Omnichannel and its related technologies.
