.Release Notes v13.2
This is a major release including some new feature enhancements and bug fixes.
What's New
CIM API for Voice Recording Integration
CIM exposes an API for third-party recording solutions to update the voice recording URL with an interaction. So the third-party recording solutions provide the right recording file link to CIM to be attached to one of the Customer interactions. For API details, see CIM API Guide.
Outbound SMS History
You can now view the history of the SMS messages sent from the CIM agent gadget. The details include SMS text, Status, Agent ID, Time and Phone number on which the message has been sent.
Customer Labels
A label in CIM is considered to be a list or a tag assigned to a customer. Customers can be segmented or divided into groups and assigned specific tags. Hence, based on the tag assigned to the customer, different business decisions can be taken such as priority call treatment, blacklisting the customer or routing the customer request to an expert queue. A label has a name
and an optional color attribute.
