Best practices to use Omnichannel for Customer Service

Omnichannel for Customer Service offers a suite of capabilities that extend the power of Dynamics 365 Customer Service Enterprise to enable organizations to instantly connect and engage with their customers across digital messaging channels. An additional license is required to access Omnichannel for Customer Service. For more information, see the Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing overview and Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing plan pages.

Use the following guidelines in Omnichannel for Customer Service, so that the data in the dashboards isn't affected:

• Agents should sign out or set presence as Appear away before stepping out. This avoids the routing of conversation requests to them.

• As an administrator or supervisor, you shouldn't configure routing rules to assign conversation requests for agents whose presence is away or offline. This ensures that conversations from channels that require immediate attention aren't assigned to the agents who are away or offline.

• Close the session in the app after the conversation with the customer is complete. This ensures that you have capacity to work on the next conversation request.
