  • How Agent Console provides a smart and efficient way for brands to resolve customer issues over social media and messaging platforms.

  • Agent Console provides a comprehensive view of messages and cases, with full conversation history and details available in a single view.

To Respond to a message from Agent Console

  • Under the Sprinklr Service tab, click Agent Console within Resolve.

  • Click the Dashboard Menu icon in the top left corner and select the desired dashboard where you want to respond. For example, select the Twitter Dashboard and drill down to the message you want to respond to, and click the message. It will open the middle pane, which shows the conversation history in a chat-like interface between the brand and the fan.

  • From the middle pane, you can select the desired Smart Response to send.

  • Click View All alongside Smart Replies to see all possible smart response recommendations and select the most suitable response to send to the customer. After clicking the View All option, you can also search for the desired response by entering the keyword in the search bar at the top.

  • These smart responses come with different placeholders, too, where you can input the desired details. If you select a smart response that has a URL placeholder, you will be able to select the desired URL from the dropdown list that appears after clicking the placeholder %URL Link% dropdown. Note that you can either type a new URL or select from the dropdown. You will not be able to make changes to the predefined URLs that appear in the dropdown. In order to get more URLs added in the dropdown, you are required to reach out to support at tickets@sprinklr.com.

  • If you do not want to use a smart response, click Write a Reply. If you want to reply to any particular fan/brand message, click the Options icon alongside the desired message in the middle conversation pane and select Reply to open the reply box in the footer.

  • Using the Content Placeholder, you can also send the secure form in the form of a secure hyperlink to social channels such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. that allow for sensitive and confidential information to be passed from a customer to agent within a secure environment. For example, customers might need to provide their credit card information or PII information as a part of an identity validation process.

Using the Content Placeholder, send the secure form on social channels such as Facebook, Twitter.
