Customer engagement history

Customer engagement history

Overview

Customer engagement history in Customer 360 provides a comprehensive view of previous interactions with the customer, helping you understand the customer's history and context before and during interactions.

Customer engagement history includes:

  • Engagement summary: An AI-generated summary of agent notes from the last 30 interactions, highlighting key themes, issues, and resolutions.

  • Interaction history: A detailed list of the last 30 interactions showing type, time, sentiment, agent notes, disposition codes, transcripts, and recordings.

Customer engagement history is available for all Customer 360 users. The AI-generated engagement summary is only available if agents have added notes to previous interactions.

No data

No data available

Sentiment data is not available for this portion of the interaction.

Sentiment calculation

Sentiment is calculated based on the words and tone used during the interaction. It does not reflect whether the issue was resolved or the outcome.

When No data available appears

Sentiment data may not be available in the following situations:

  • At the beginning of the call, before the first sentiment value has been calculated.

  • If no new sentiment value has been calculated for a configured period (twice the sentiment interval). For example, when the interval is 30 seconds, after 1 minute of no new sentiment value being calculated, "No data available" is displayed.

  • If the sentiment value received is outside of the configured threshold. For example, if the sentiment value is 0.36 but the configured threshold is 0.5:1.0, "No data available" is displayed.
