CurrentlyPreviously, agents can could use two different sets of buttons to end or reject a call in ContactPad: the Reject and Hangup buttons in the WebRTC control panel and the End or Release interaction button. The different buttons end ended or reject rejected calls in different ways; this causes caused inconsistencies in statistics and reports, and a confusing user experience.

In the other versions of ContactPad, the Reject and Hangup buttons in the WebRTC control panel have been updated to terminate calls in the same way as clicking Release. In addition, the Hangup and mute buttons have been reversed to reduce accidental hangups.

Many WebRTC call quality issues relate to local configuration, equipment, and infrastructure. This is common for all IP telephony and conferencing solutions. Problems with these are difficult for Vonage to diagnose and correct as they relate to conditions that are outside of our control and that we do not provide support for or manage.

From the Q4 2023 release, Vonage Contact Center will warn now warns end users when they are experiencing call quality issues relating to local factors (such as internet connectivity issues). This will help helps agents to self-serve when call quality issues are caused by things that are under their control.

When Vonage Contact Center detects potential call quality problems caused by local issues for agents using WebRTC it will display displays a warning message within ContactPad. This warning message contains a link to a webpage containing more information and suggestions for the agent to follow to try and resolve the issues.

Network connectivity issues can sometimes leave WebRTC temporarily unavailable and agents unable to answer calls. These temporary issues are often local to the agent and transient in nature. However, ContactPad can still inform the agent that a call has been assigned to them, present an Answer button, and allow the agent to attempt to answer the call.

From Q4 ‘23, Vonage Contact Center will be has been updated so that ContactPad will check if it is properly connected to WebRTC before giving the agent the opportunity to answer a call. If WebRTC is not connected, the call will be is automatically rejected and returned to the queue. This will improve improves the user experience, by avoiding agents trying to answer calls that cannot be answered, and the customer experience, by reducing the time they spend listening to ringing when the call cannot be answered.

We have brought the ability to upload announcement wav files, use dynamic audio, or use text-to-speech together in one place. This functionality will be rolled out across other applets in the future, Data Announcer being the first.

As an example, users can discover which calls, and thus agents, have the most (or least) positive (or negative) sentiment and what the sentiment is throughout the call. This will enable users to identify calls that, for example, started well and ended poorly from a sentiment perspective. This is only available in English.

An increasing number of enterprise customers are using virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to manage the environment contact center agents use on a daily basis. VDI presents unique challenges when WebRTC is used for agent telephony as hair-pinning the WebRTC session to a remote desktop server adds an extra leg to the media path. This extra leg can add latency and increase packet loss, which reduces call audio quality.

With the Q4 2023 release, Vonage will offer Vonage now offers a beta version of VDI support. To use a VDI, the agent should open a specific webpage in a browser on their local computer which enables WebRTC media to be routed directly to the agent. This bypasses the remote desktop server and avoids the problems this extra leg can cause.

WebRTC provides the best user experience for agents by bringing all of the VCC call controls into ContactPad. Without WebRTC agents have to answer the call outside the contact center and then use ContactPad for all other call controls. The agent has to find and switch to ContactPad to answer, reject, hangup, mute, and unmute calls — even if they are busy elsewhere.

With the Q4 2023 release, Vonage now offers a beta version of headset control support for USB-connected headsets that are compatible with WebHID. Using a compatible headset, agents can now perform basic call controls even if they are in an application, window, or tab that does not contain ContactPad. Using WebHID means that no additional software is required. Note that different headset models and manufacturers support different combinations of call controls.

Background noise is a significant problem in contact centers which affects both agents and customers. Customers will call in from wherever is convenient for them, contact centers themselves can be noisy environments, and the rise of agents working from home brings other background noise-related issues. High-quality telephony devices and headsets will transmit everything they pick-up, even if that is not always desirable.

With the Q4 2023 release, Vonage now offers a beta version of the fully-integrated Krisp Noise Cancellation solution. This is built into ContactPad and requires no additional software to be installed or managed. The noise-cancellation algorithms run locally within the agent’s web browser and no third-party servers are involved in the processing. All that agents need to do is turn the feature on or off as required.

  • Incoming interaction: Fires when a new incoming interaction starts but hasn't yet connected. The channel is being alerted.
  • Channel disconnection: This occurs when an established channel is disconnected.
  • Channel connection: Triggered when a new channel successfully connects.
  • Connection failure: Fires when a channel fails to connect.
  • Channel ended: Occurs when an active channel is terminated or closed.
  • Post-interaction wrap: Triggered at the start of the after-interaction work phase.
  • Channel on hold: This occurs when a channel is placed on hold.

Whenever events of any listed events event types are activated, be it due to an agent's action or an interaction channel change, an HTTP POST event notification is dispatchedsent to subscribers, delivering comprehensive details of the event.

Enhancing the VCC experience to cater to specific business needs is now even more effortless. By using the Webhooks feature alongside our robust API suite, developers are equipped with all the necessary tools for customization.

Important Announcements

Auto conversion of Data Announcer applets to Announcer applets 

As part of the new Data Announcer upgrade we have renamed the Data Announcer applet to the Announcer applet; this is to reflect its new role as the universal announcement mechanism within VCC.

Auto conversion of legacy applets

As part of an ongoing simplification project within VCC we will be automatically converting the following applets to data routers. These applets have been superseded by newer and more comprehensive applets.

  • Check IVR Digit
  • Check IVR String
  • Router CLID

Synchronizing presences when a Salesforce user misses or declines an incoming call

Recent changes in Vonage for Service Cloud Voice require some changes in your Salesforce setup. These changes ensure that presences are synchronized when agents miss or decline incoming calls, preventing agents from being immediately redelivered a missed or declined call.

...

We recommend that you make these changes as soon as possible, informing Vonage that you have done so. Eventually the changes will be mandatory.

For a full list of deprecated features, see Vonage Contact Center feature retirement.

Intent to deprecate — Call Parking

Call Parking is a complex capability that does not fit into many common contact center use cases. Few customers use this feature and the feature's complexity impacts the development of other in-demand Vonage Contact Center features, so we intend to retire Call Parking during the first half of 2024. Contact center admins and supervisors should start to consider alternative approaches and processes. If further support is required please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Manager.

Projected deprecation date: Q1, 2024.
Projected retirement date: Q2, 2024.

Intent to deprecate — DTMF Call Controls

DTMF call controls are a legacy, PBX-related, feature from the first versions of Vonage Contact Center. Few customers use this capability today with all call controls available within ContactPad or Service Cloud Voice. We intend to retire DTMF Call Controls during the first half of 2024. Contact center agents using DTMF Call Controls should switch to using the on-screen controls within ContactPad or Service Cloud Voice to control calls. If further support is required please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Manager.

Projected deprecation date: Q1, 2024.
Projected retirement date: Q2, 2024.

Intent to deprecate — Unite Case Routing

For the past 2 years, we have been working on improving our External Routing product, by increasing the types of media it can route and bringing it to parity with Unite. External Routing has now surpassed Unite and therefore we do not see the need to have two case routing products and intend to retire Unite during 2024. Admins should begin to plan migration from Unite to External Routing. If further support is required please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Manager. 

Projected deprecation date: Q1, 2024.
Projected retirement date: Q3, 2024.

Intent to deprecate — Real Time

Vonage is excited to introduce the phased rollout of our new Team Monitoring capabilities. Alongside this, we are announcing our intention to deprecate the Real Time feature. Rest assured, all functionalities of Real Time have been seamlessly migrated to various components within the Insights suite.

Projected deprecation date: Q1, 2024.
