MAX

Simplified Login Screen

If it has permissions, the agent experience won't change. If it doesn't have permissions, the Visual section will only show the Enable Visual Notifications button. This will make it easier for agents to see if the browser is preventing visual notifications.
  Customer Request     X     UI Change     ✓     Future Enablement     X

In accordance with the United States FCC mandate to implement SHAKEN signing, Contact Center has received signing authority and will sign all calls initiated from Contact Center with Full (A-level) attestation. Contact Center will verify all caller ID values being used to confirm they align with the businesses using them. Unresolved concerns with unverified caller IDs will result in downgrading the traffic for them to B-level attestation.
The Global Caller ID field within each Business Unit will need to contain a valid phone number that belongs to you. This will be the value Contact Center uses to verify the business entity. If you want to display an anonymous presence on a call, you will be able to override the caller ID at the skill or record level with a blank caller ID.
 
Outbound calls made using a phone number with A-level attestation create trust with customers that they are not receiving an unwanted robocall, so A-level phone numbers yield higher answer rates.
 
This feature will only be available in the United States.

New System Dispositions Blocking Robocalls
 
New system dispositions will track the required feedback from carriers related to call blocking efforts. If the call is blocked by customer request or by analytic engines, they will be required to return a specific SIP message. These will surface as two new outcomes you will be able to control on the Retry Management page.
 
This will enable you to take corrective action to increase answer rates. These blocked calls are associated with the TRACED Act passed by the United States Congress, and the feature will only be available in the United States.

Evaluators will be able to review the responses and change them if needed.
 
The View permission will be required to use Analytics Category Manager. In Contact Center, go to Admin > Security > Roles and Permissions, the permissions will be under QM Tools > Category Manager.

Script Validation to Prevent Not Found State for Contacts
 
Studio will validate all scripts during the save process to ensure that scripts called by actions such as Spawn or RunScript are active and valid scripts. Studio will display an error message when: 
  • An action calls a script that is invalid or inactive, 
  • Someone attempts to delete or deactivate a script that is called by an action.
This will prevent contacts from being placed in the Not Found state as a result of invalid or inactive scripts. Having large numbers of contacts in the Not Found state places a high demand on system resources, which can slow the entire system down.

Fall 2021 Cumulative Update 3

These are the bugs and known issues that are fixed on this update.

ACD

  • Bulk upload files would sometimes get stuck in the upload process and the process wouldn't complete. 
  • When a Studio script was configured to automatically discard certain emails, email ports would show as utilized when very few emails were actually active.
  • Rarely, a parked email would appear to be active after the assigned agent logged out of the agent application.
  • The columns in the ACD users bulk upload template and existing users files didn't match. 
  • In rare cases, agents would sometimes get stuck with no agent actions associated with the issue.
  • In some environments, opening the ACD application would show the ACD users page but with all the menus missing.
  • The Feedback Management link returned a 404 error when you opened it in the ACD application.
  • Agent Issues didn't display the contact ID. It showed '0' instead.
  • Agent issues wasn't available for all environments.
  • The ACD skill bulk upload form allowed you to specify a custom script for inbound email ACD skills, which isn't supported. When this happened, ACD skill details would then show the Custom Script value as empty. 

API

  • Developer Portal documentation for v21 GET /scripts/search was restricted when it shouldn't have been. 
  • Agent_ValidateLogin failed if LA was assigned to the user. 
  • When users would paginate the results of a call, the last page of results showed a server error with a status of 500. 

Customer Chat Interface

  • In V2 customer chat, HTML in the TextmsgStudio action would show up as code instead of formatting the text. 

Digital First Omnichannel

  • When a chat interaction status was interrupted, calls to the API GET /contacts/active API returned null results.
  • In some cases, when you'd send an email to a certain email address, that email address would automatically appear in the To field for later emails. 
  • Clicking the Send as Resolved button would sometimes fail

MAX

  • Transferring calls to an agent on a phone call failed. 
  • If an agent doing ACW changed the tags twice, their state changed to Available. 
  • MAX would be available in the new navigation UI for users who didn't have it enabled in their security profile.
  • JAWS couldn't navigate agent states to select a new one.

Personal Connection

  • When users manually uploaded calling lists, sometimes they wouldn't receive a confirmation email. 
  • In blended skills where the Unlink action was used, agents would sometimes get stuck in the Auto Outbound state. This resulted in no contacts being routed to the agent from any skills, including the blended outbound phone skill. 
  • Some dialer skills were dialing past the time zone bounding set for the skill. 
  • When Proactive XS pulled records from a CRM when the available records were running low, the process would fail and return the error "No Destinations were provided," even though the records had destinations.
  • When users uploaded a calling list that contained ExpirationDate values in ISO8601 format, an error occurred and the upload failed. 
  • In some situations, scheduled callback retries would occur before the specified Minimum Retry Minutes had passed. 

Supervisor

  • When supervisors monitored a call, they could continue to hear what the agent said in the microphone after the call ended. 

Fall 2021 Cumulative Update 4

These are the bugs and known issues that are fixed on this update.

ACD

  • User sessions were being logged out of Contact Center before reaching the session timeout setting specified for the business unit.
  • When agents transferred a contact to another skill, variables containing dynamic data lost that data. 
  • When IVR scripts included the option to return to the general skill, calls using it would sometimes fail. 
  • Chat routing that used a script to specify chats should go into an agent's personal queue and wait a certain amount of time didn't always honor the specified time and would reroute to the skill.
  • When agents didn't answer a callback, the callback would sometimes get stuck in a routing state. 
  • Rarely, another call would be added to an existing voice conversation. 
  • Users in some environments were unable to access Script Schedules.

API

  • When a API_GetAgentCallbacks stored Proc was called multiple times, the execution times were high. 
  • PUT /contacts/{contactid} would sometimes return "System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid." 

IEX WFM Integrated

  • The intraday requirements for future day for Workload CT didn't always match the Rev requirements. 
  • Some environments couldn't enable Engage Recording and Contact Center Recording at the same time.
  • The IEX data download report email contact count didn't always match the IEX WFM Integrated queue history count.

MAX

  • When an agent using integrated softphone closed their device without logging out of MAX, they could later return to that same MAX window. Since the browser requires the agent to click something in the new session before it plays a ringtone, agents left in an Available state often wouldn’t click anything when they returned and would miss their first call.
  • For some contact centers, the address book wouldn't display agents.

Personal Connection

  • Calling lists would sometimes take hours to upload. 

Reporting

  • When a data download report schedule had a custom time format set to a.m. or p.m. instead of AM or PM, selecting it resulted in a platform error. 
  • The IEX data download report email contact count didn't always match the IEX WFM Integrated queue history count. 

Studio

  • Agent variables weren't being passed to the OnAnswer action.
