Ability to Add 'Hyperlinks' in Dynamic Table 

You can now add hyperlinks within dynamic tables by selecting the ‘link’ variable type when defining ‘Column Mapping’. You can either enter the display text for the hyperlink manually or retrieve it dynamically by storing it in a variable. 

This enhancement increases the flexibility and usability of your dynamic tables, by enabling you to include hyperlinks in your data. This improvement is particularly beneficial if you need to link external resources or documents directly into your tables.

Care Console 

The following features are being introduced in Sprinklr Service's Care Console module:

Ability to Tag Community Profile List from Care Console 

You can now tag profile lists directly within your reply box when using the Care Console to respond to community content. 

This feature significantly enhances response efficiency by allowing you to tag multiple community members at once, instead of tagging individual profiles separately. 

Refer to Reply Box Functionalities article for more details.

Support Quote Functionality in Care Console

You can now easily quote parts of a message or the entire message when replying to Community content in the Care Console. Use the “Quote” functionality in your reply box to reference specific sections or the whole message. 

This feature ensures parity of native behavior within the Care Console, allowing agents to quote and reference specific parts of community messages.

Collapsed Case Stream Redesign in Care Console - Randomized Avatar Colors for Customer Profiles 

The 19.11 release includes a new feature that randomizes the avatar colors for customer profiles. Before this update, avatar colors were based on the initials of the name, which often led to multiple anonymous profiles having the same avatar color. This made it hard for agents to tell different cases apart when the case stream was in collapsed view. Now, avatar colors are randomized while ensuring they contrast well with the text color. This improvement works across all channels. 

This enhancement allows your agents to easily differentiate between various anonymous profile cases, even when the case stream is in a collapsed state. By providing unique avatar colors, agents can more easily identify and manage multiple cases, enhancing their efficiency and reducing the likelihood of confusion.

Increase Number of Shortcut Buttons Displayed When Hovering Over a Message 

This update makes it easier to use the Care Console by increasing the number of buttons that appear when you hover over a message. Now, the like and reaction buttons are directly accessible without needing to open the more options (three dot) menu, saving you an extra click. 

Note: Reach out to your engagement manager to get this feature enabled in your Sprinklr environment. 

This enhancement allows you and your agents to quickly like or react to messages without the additional step of opening the more options menu thus eliminating an extra click.

Bell Notification Icon in Care Console to be Always in Display 

The 19.11 release ensures that the notification bell icon in the left pane of the Care Console is always visible. This means agents and supervisors can instantly see new messages and notifications without having to switch views or refresh the console. This improvement removes the previous problem where the icon was hidden, which could delay response times. 

This feature enhances productivity of agents by ensuring that they are promptly alerted to new notifications. By keeping the Notification bell icon visible at all times, agents can now respond more quickly to customer needs, thereby improving overall efficiency and customer satisfaction. 

Better Highlight Hidden Messages on the Conversation Panel in the Care Console 

This feature enhances the visibility of hidden messages within the Care Console. When your agent hides a message, it will now be displayed in a different font and will be highlighted, making it easier to identify it among other messages. This improvement addresses the current issue where only a small eye icon indicates a hidden message, which can be difficult to notice. 

You and your agents will now be able to quickly and easily identify hidden messages within the conversation panel. This enhancement improves your efficiency and ensures that important hidden messages are not overlooked.
