In the world of customer service, efficiency is vital. Dynamics 365 Customer Service introduces a new feature—Show Records Enabled for Unified Routing in Inbox—that empowers your agents to elevate their productivity and streamline work management directly from the inbox.

Administrators will have the flexibility to configure inbox views tailored to specific records enabled for routing—whether it's a lead, appointment, or task.

Copilot case and conversation summary default on 

D365 Customer Service has introduced this new feature to further improve your efficiency. Copilot case and conversation summary, set to default. This enhancement is designed to facilitate faster ramp-ups, seamless transfers, and swift wrap-ups, ultimately leading to accelerated case resolution times.

Important Note: To enjoy default Copilot activation, organisations need to meet specific criteria, including the availability of Azure OpenAI in the region and the use of out-of-the-box case forms and the Customer Service Workspace app with digital messaging and/or voice for conversation summaries.

Key Features:

·        Default Copilot Activation: Organisations meeting specific criteria will have the Copilot case and conversation summary capabilities enabled by default. This strategic implementation ensures that agents can immediately leverage these advanced features.

·        Faster Onboarding and Transfers: With Copilot active by default, new agents experience quicker ramp-ups, while the seamless transfer of cases becomes more efficient. This results in a reduction of onboarding time and enhances overall team collaboration.

·        Efficient Wrap-Ups: Copilot contributes to streamlined wrap-up processes, allowing agents to conclude interactions with speed and accuracy. This not only enhances individual productivity but also positively impacts the overall customer service experience.
