Admins can control how the information will be delivered to the user. Administrators can also control the channels and devices through which applications are accessed.
New voice intelligence powered by Einstein utilises natural language processing to call transcriptions that provide sales and service teams with deep insights and trends that lead to smarter and more personalised customer engagement.
The CRM giant also announced that it has integrated telephony into its Service Cloud product by introducing Service Cloud Voice. Service Cloud Voice integrates telephony inside Service Cloud, unifying phone, digital channels, and CRM data in real-time in one centralised console.
