Business value

The standard conversation entity isn't customizable and, therefore, can't meet the business needs of several customers across industries. Customers want to include extra information and display it to their agents. Without the flexibility to customize, agents will have to do additional steps or switch windows to view the information, which affects their productivity. To support functions beyond Customer Service like Sales, we now allow customers to link the conversation entity with other entities like leads and opportunities or any other custom entity.

Feature details

Administrators can now customize the Conversation entity in the following ways:

  • Create custom fields, views, and charts.
  • Associate a conversation with a lead, opportunity, or any other entity enabled for activity.
