Welcome to Dynamics 365 Customer Service! We're delighted to offer you a suite of capabilities to ensure your business can deliver the best customer service experience possible to your customers. We believe that knowing your customers enables you to personalize each experience and optimizes your agents' productivity so you can earn customers for life.

The agent experience is the heart of Dynamics 365 Customer Service. The key to improving satisfaction in service delivery is enabling agents to take customer requests from any channel, handle multiple sessions at a time, interact with multiple apps without losing context, and enhance their workflow with productivity tools.

We offer several app experiences for you to choose from, depending on your support organization's needs.

Use Customer Service to:

  • Track customer issues through cases
  • Record all interactions related to a case
  • Share information in the knowledge base
  • Use unified routing to efficiently route work items
  • Manage conversations across channels, including voice
  • Use AI-driven embedded insights and analytics to improve customer satisfaction
  • Collaborate with experts in Microsoft Teams
  • Create and track service levels through service-level agreements (SLAs)
  • Define service terms through entitlements
  • Manage performance and productivity through reports and dashboards
  • Create and schedule services
  • Participate in chats

Administer Customer Service

You can configure and manage the different capabilities in Customer Service by using any of the following apps based on the licensing module that you've purchased. While you can use any of the admin apps to set up the features in Customer Service, we recommend that you use the latest apps and centrally manage the features in a robust framework.

  • Customer Service admin center: Use the app to manage the different features of Customer Service in one place. You can configure all the features of the customer support, operations, and agent experiences through the new app. You can manage core customer service and other features, such as service terms, service scheduling, and all the channels in Omnichannel for Customer Service.

    Important

    With the release of the Customer Service admin center app that consolidates admin experiences across the Customer Service suite, we announce that the following admin experiences are deprecated and no longer supported after April 2023.

    • Service Management area in the Customer Service Hub app
    • Omnichannel admin center
    • App profile manager: Is removed in April 2023.

    Also, starting in October 2022, the Omnichannel admin center and the service management area in Customer Service Hub will be hidden by default in newly created organizations and environments. You have the option to bring them back, but we recommend that you start using the Customer Service admin center app to perform tasks like manage cases, and configure unified routing, channels, and agent experience profiles.

  • Omnichannel admin center (Deprecated): Helps in managing all your chat and digital messaging channels, including the voice channel.

  • App profile manager (Deprecated): Helps in creating and managing targeted app experiences for agents and supervisors as an alternative to building and maintaining custom apps. You can create custom profiles with specific session templates, conversation channels, and productivity tools. You can then assign these profiles to agents and supervisors who use the Customer Service workspace app. These capabilities are available in the new Customer Service admin center app also. We recommend that you use the new app.

    Note

    Support for the Omnichannel Administration app ended on April 30, 2022, and the app was removed in July 2023. We recommend that you use the Customer Service admin center app to configure the latest features, such as unified routing and voice channel.
