Messaging Features Now Available
Together with our partner LivePerson, we are now able to offer a new type of engagement called Messaging which takes Live Chat to the next level by adding the flexibility for longer running “anytime” conversations.
This also allows us to integrate popular 3rd party channels like Twilio SMS, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Apple Business Chat and more, so that an agent can receive these Messaging engagements right inside Dynamics 365! Because of this, agents are now able to handle multiple channels of conversation at scale.
Resumable Conversations
Messaging allows for asynchronous, resumable conversations between Brands and their consumers – in the same way that consumers are already used to communicating via social networking services. This means a consumer can message a Brand at any time, even when a company is not online, and a company can also reply when the consumer is not online. (Just like your conversations with friends and family) All while maintaining a full conversation history! This enables you as a Brand to improve your customer’s journey in a way that was not possible with Chat engagements.
