Care Console Conversation Pane

Updated 

The Conversation Pane is the main element of Care Console for the agents. The pane here is designed to have all the relevant features from an agent’s perspective. We will cover all the features and aspects given in the conversation pane. As shown in the image below, we can see the conversation pane with a conversation between an agent and a customer. 
This pane is designed to have an efficient and easy conversation with the customer for the users. It has the following broad features : 

  • Switch between channels seamlessly, along with video and voice controls integrated into Care Console.

  • Message Level Features: When clicked over a message, we can see the drop-down menu including options to update transcript, sentiment, mark as spam. We can see the option to apply a message level macro here. See the image below for reference.

  • Add Notes to individual conversation bubbles for agent’s assistance. You can also make them visible only in the current workspace. To learn more about getting this capability enabled, please work with your Success Manager.

  • Typing indicators and reading receipts of customers allows agents to communicate methodically. 

  • Quick Macros exposes critical macros upfront reducing clicks and thus saves agent’s time.

  • Set reminders on messages/cases helps agents to notify if they exceed the set/scheduled date on any message/case.

Pin

When a customer sends a message describing their problem after the bot has initially responded and the conversation is handed over to an agent, that specific message can be automatically pinned in the conversation pane. It can be done by creating an inbound rule and adding an action "Pin The Message To Case" as Yes.

Agents have the flexibility to unpin this message if needed and manually pin multiple messages for the benefit of their team members, ensuring that important information is readily available for reference. This feature addresses the challenge of maintaining clarity and focus in cases where numerous messages are exchanged, ensuring that the initial problem statement is easily accessible even amidst a busy conversation. Agents and supervisors from various teams can conveniently access these pinned messages in the dedicated "Pinned Messages" section at the top, and clicking on a pinned message will take them directly to that specific point in the conversation for quick reference. To get this capability enabled, please work with your Success Manager.

Reply Box

The reply box has all the features relevant for the agent to customize the reply and edit it with following capabilities:

  • Using this, agents can schedule a response after typing it into the reply box.

  • Sprinklr’s Care Console has embedded support for adding images, videos, emojis, gifs, links and other attachments into the outbound replies.

  • Agents can select the preferred account to send the reply from without having to switch dashboards.

  • Smart Response suggestions help agents to choose the preferred one and send it quickly without the chance of errors. 

Reply Box properties

​While composing a reply, few brands assign outbound custom properties depending on their use cases which appear as an inline collapsible footer of the reply box. These are used to route messages into cases, move cases between queues and monitor assignment. The most used are :

  • Campaign - The campaign field is used for reporting purposes, usually auto-filled via outbound rules (can be edited in Care Console).

  • URL Shorteners - In case of long links, brands use URL shorteners to make it look better while publishing a reply and meeting the character limit (Twitter).

  • Canned Responses : Agents can create canned responses in Asset Management for frequently repeated replies on user level. These responses can be edited in the reply box before sending according to the agent’s requirements. Sprinklr also provides the functionality to stop an outbound message if changes made to a certain canned response fails the accepted criteria.

  • Smart Responses : Multiple Smart Responses are suggested to the agents through AI. These suggested responses allow brands to reduce time to respond, ensure high quality relevant response and decrease human error, particularly for new agents during onboarding. Agents can preview and edit, or use responses directly in their replies. Feedback on each response helps improve recommendations for the agents in future.
