Sprinklr Service: 19.5 Capabilities and Enhancements

Updated 

Sprinklr's latest release introduces a range of exciting new capabilities aimed at empowering your business to create more meaningful customer experiences across all touchpoints. Here are the key features included in Sprinklr's latest release:

Channels

WhatsApp Business | Voice Calling by Customers

Your customers now have the option to initiate voice calls to your business directly within the WhatsApp app. They can choose to use the Call option provided or engage via a Voice Call CTA button shared by the business in a template message. Agents utilizing Sprinklr can efficiently handle these calls through Sprinklr voice solutions.

WhatsApp Business | Simplify WhatsApp Account Addition​

In Sprinklr's user interface, adding WhatsApp Business accounts is now simpler and more efficient with the dedicated WhatsApp Business Accounts screen. This feature allows users to directly add and manage their WhatsApp Business accounts within Sprinklr, eliminating the need for dependency on Facebook Business Manager.

On the WhatsApp Business Accounts screen, users can easily view essential details such as the WABA ID and Business Manager ID associated with each account. This centralized view streamlines account management and provides quick access to important account information.

To further enhance usability and flexibility, Sprinklr introduces both single and bulk account addition capabilities through the WhatsApp Business Accounts screen.

WeChat | Unified Reply Types in Care Console

Sprinklr supports unified reply types in WeChat, allowing agents to send text and multiple media attachments in a single go within Care Console. These combined messages are automatically split into individual posts upon sending, ensuring compliance with WeChat's limit of 5 replies per customer message.

To prevent exceeding WeChat's reply limit, a warning system dynamically updates agents on the number of replies sent per customer message. This ensures agents remain aware of the constraints and can adjust their responses accordingly to maintain effective communication.

This functionality also aids you to define quick filters on the queue monitoring and queues page in Unified Routing. Admins/configurators would be able to create a quick filter based on the work queue custom fields and share it across users.​ The ability to filter queues facilitates targeted monitoring which helps in streamlined decision-making and proactive management of work queues.​

Unified Routing | Enhance Filtering with "AND" and "OR" Operators in Custom Channels

In defining property filters within custom channels to sort incoming cases based on specific attributes, you now have the flexibility to employ both AND and OR operators. This capability enhances the precision of filtering criteria, offering greater customization.

Unified Routing | Dynamic Input for Routing Configuration Wait Times

In routing configuration, you can now enable dynamic input types for setting wait times, allowing for more flexible execution. This feature seamlessly integrates actual wait time values from a case custom field into the routing logic. Users also have the option to define backup values for conditions. If dynamic inputs are unavailable or unreadable, the system will default to the specified backup value for routing purposes. Please note that the case custom field must contain values in seconds to ensure accurate processing.

Workforce Management

Workforce Management | Shift Trade Policy

The Shift Trading feature enables agents to propose, negotiate, and finalize shift trades within predefined rules and constraints. Agents can initiate a shift trade by selecting their desired shift and proposing it to potential trading partners. This process allows agents to communicate their availability and preferences, facilitating the exchange of shifts to accommodate personal schedules or unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, supervisors have oversight and can enforce policies to ensure that shift trades adhere to organizational guidelines and operational requirements.

Workforce Management | View Staffing Levels at 15 and 30 mins Intervals in Scheduling

In the Day View of Scheduling, supervisors can see agents' schedules at a daily level by selecting a specific date and timezone from the Date Selector.

Workforce Management | Agent & Supervisor Request Dashboards

The Request Dashboards aim to provide supervisors and agents with streamlined access to various types of requests, including Leave, shift trade, and schedule approval. Supervisors can efficiently review and manage requests through approval and rejection workflows, while agents can initiate, track, and manage their requests within the system.​

Workforce Management | Agents Out of Adherence Alerts for Supervisors​

Ensuring agents adhere to their schedules is crucial for meeting KPIs and maintaining overall performance. When agents adhere to their schedules, they contribute positively to their overall performance metrics. However, in cases where agents deviate from their schedules, it's essential to provide alerts to supervisors to help them stay informed and take appropriate measures.

Implementing agents out-of-adherence alerts for supervisors further enhances schedule adherence monitoring and empowers supervisors with real-time insights. By receiving alerts when agents deviate from their schedules, supervisors can intervene promptly to address non-adherence issues. This facilitates timely interventions to maintain operational efficiency and optimize agent performance.

CCAI

Insights Hub | Uncover Gaps in Intents and Knowledge Base Articles

Powered by Gen-AI enhancements, Insights Hub can now uncover gaps in contact drivers and knowledge base articles, integrated within Sprinklr. You can receive actionable suggestions to enhance content and optimize customer support seamlessly. Additionally, these suggestions can be tracked to completion in JIRA.

Conversational Analytics | Support for GCP Bucket in Data Importer

You now have the capability to establish a connection from a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) bucket within the data importer feature of Sprinklr. This functionality enables the seamless ingestion of voice case data from external systems into Sprinklr by leveraging GCP's storage infrastructure, similar to the existing support for SFTP/S3 buckets.

Conversational Analytics | Playback Volume and Balance Control

From the Call Transcript widget on the Case Analytics page, you can now control the volume and balance between the agent and customer during playback of voice calls. This means that you have the ability to adjust the volume levels of the conversation between the agent and the customer to your preference, ensuring an optimal listening experience.

Conversational Analytics | Product Intent Type

When adding contact drivers within contact driver models, you can choose between two primary intent types: issue type and product type. The intent type chosen at each level determines whether a particular contact driver is categorized as an issue type or a product type.

 

Issue type contact drivers are typically associated with customer issues, where the goal is to classify a given case into a list of customer issues. On the other hand, product type contact drivers help identify products mentioned within a case.

 

For issue intent type, the focus is on identifying an issue in the context of its parent contact driver. Similarly, for product intent type, the focus is on identifying products mentioned in a case within the context of their parent issue contact drivers.

Conversational Analytics | Import Taxonomy

To streamline the process of adding contact drivers and groups within a contact driver model, the system provides an option to import data via an Excel template. You can now download the template, fill it with the desired contact driver and group information, and then upload the completed template back into the system.

 

Upon downloading the sample file, you'll notice several sheets added to facilitate the addition of contact drivers, as specified during the creation of the selected contact driver model. For example, if you set the total levels as 3, you'll be provided with options to create three levels of contact drivers. The first sheet is typically named "Instructions & Guide," where you'll find detailed guidelines. These guidelines are also tailored based on the set levels.

 

Upon uploading the completed file back into the system, if there are any errors or inconsistencies in the data, the system will identify them and provide feedback for correction.

Care Console

Care Console | External Collaboration via Email

Agents can now improve collaboration and communication by seamlessly engaging with external users via email from the agent desktop within Sprinklr. Presently, this functionality is limited to Email and Social cases.

When an agent initiates communication with an external party via email, a subcase is automatically created to enable parallel interaction.

Care Console | Customizing Warning Messages

Administrators can now customize the warning messages displayed above the reply box by utilizing the "Append Warning Message" action within Autofill rules. This functionality allows them to tailor the message according to their organization's unique communication requirements or policies.

By leveraging this feature, administrators can effectively oversee communication practices by incorporating personalized warnings. These warnings serve as proactive reminders for agents, highlighting specific guidelines or considerations to be mindful of when composing replies. As a result, this helps to foster adherence to policies and promotes consistency in interactions across the board.

Care Console | Selective PII Masking

You now have the flexibility to mask sensitive profile data points that you deem necessary, excluding those that agents may use while engaging with customers, such as customer names.

Care Console | Filtering of Tasks Using Custom Field Values

When creating Record Card Widgets specifically at the Task entity level, you now have the capability to filter tasks and customize how they are displayed within the widget based on specific custom field values. To achieve this, you can utilize the JSON editor and include the parameter "fieldType": "custom_field".

By adding this parameter in the JSON editor, you can ensure that only tasks with the specified custom field values are included and displayed within the Record Card widget.

Care Console | Agent Availability Status Display

On the Sprinklr platform, the full agent availability status will now be displayed in the top right corner. However, there is a difference in how this status is presented based on whether VoiP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is enabled or disabled:

Automated onboarding flows offer the opportunity to deliver targeted and engaging content to users during their initial interactions. This helps increase their understanding of the community's value proposition and encourages continued interaction.

Communities | Scoping Roles and Permissions at Category Level

While creating a role for community, you can now select the Scope as Global or Local. Opting for Local enables you to customize user access by assigning roles and permissions at the category level. This ensures precise control over which users can view, edit, or manage specific content areas within the community.



Voice

Dialer Profiles | Inline Caller DID Scheduler Creation

While selecting a Caller DID Scheduler in a Dialer Profile, you now have the option to edit, clone, or create a new one directly from this interface. Clicking on "Create Caller DID Scheduler" will lead you to the Caller DID Scheduler builder window, where you can proceed with the creation process seamlessly.

Outbound Campaigns | Exempt Profiles from Weekly Limit

In Outbound Campaigns, you now have the ability to exclude certain profiles from the weekly attempt limit. Sprinklr offers functionality to restrict the number of attempts made to a profile or phone number within a week for outbound voice campaigns. Specific profiles can be exempted from this limit based on criteria defined by a profile custom field or lead attribute. The backend is configured to identify profiles meeting this condition, ensuring they are not counted towards the attempt limit.

To get this capability enabled, please raise a support ticket by contacting tickets@sprinklr.com.

Retry Strategy | Use Call Event SIP Codes

The difficulty in distinguishing between specific call outcomes, such as unanswered and unreachable, arises from identical SIP codes, impacting the effectiveness of retry strategies. To address this challenge, you can now incorporate the call event SIP code into the new retry strategy as derived attributes. This enhancement enables separate retry times based on both the conversation completion status and the specific SIP code associated with the call event. By considering both factors, you can tailor retry strategies more precisely to optimize outreach efforts.

SignalWire | Enforce TCP Protocol for WebRTC Connections
