Try skill-based agent search in Dynamics 365 Customer Service

We’re excited to announce skill-based agent search, designed to enhance agent collaboration and improve agent efficiency within Dynamics 365 Customer Service. With this latest release, agents can now search for other agents based on specific skills, facilitating seamless consultations and transfers during customer interactions. 

In today’s fast-paced customer service environment, it’s crucial for agents to have access to the right expertise at the right time. With our new skill-based search functionality, agents can now easily identify and connect with other agents who possess the necessary skills to address customer inquiries effectively.

Efficient consultations and transfers 

During a conversation with a customer, agents can initiate a consultation with another agent by specifying desired skills such as language proficiency or product knowledge. The system will then display a list of agents who match the specified criteria. The list includes their names, presence status, and relevant skills.
