Recently Added Feature Highlights

Release 3.39

The Dialler’s functionality has been vastly improved thanks to the addition of two new buttons in the “Skip” and “Dial Now” buttons. Dial now Initiates a call without the contact preview, and “Skip” ends the contact preview without calling the contact and prompts the agent to set a result code for the skipped contact. 

REST API contact history can now be properly categorised with the new “order by” clause which ensures that the contact history will be in the same order as it was created. 

It is now possible to create LLM based bots using the Web UI for the chat connector. 

A new LLM tab has been added, which while using the new code found in the Release Notes, the chat connector will communicate with the LLM connector to execute the required functionality. 

PBX user tables have received a huge upgrade with new fields and data fields to extensively cover your tables.

Customizing the sound when incoming chats or media arrive has now been made possible. This can be changed by the Client Administrator under “Client Master Data” > “Options”. The original sounds will be the same if a new file has not been configured.

Release 3.36

IMAP Mail Connector - OAUTH2 authentication. Since Microsoft 365 no longer supports OWA / Exchange Mail Services, the replacement of the old exchange mail connector to OAUTH2 authentication will be necessary on systems which use older style access to Microsoft email services in the MS cloud. If you require assistance with this, please contact your jtel partner or check out this link: https://wiki.jtel.de/x/PQA0Bw .

Transaction Codes - Reclassify to different service number functionality. It is now possible to configure transaction codes with an alternative “reclassification” service number to which calls should be attributed when this transaction code is recorded by an agent. This feature can be used in reports which support reclassification. At the time of writing, ACD-S-007 supports this new functionality - it can be toggled using a switch in the report execution or subscription. 

Login - Prevent Reset Password. In some cases or e.g. when using SSO it might be beneficial to prevent resetting a users password. Resetting the password from the login page can now be prevented with a system parameter “ACD.Login.PasswordReset.Enabled“. This parameter should be 1 or 0. If this parameter is set to 1, the password reset link will be displayed.

Release 3.35

Live call transcription - "Live-Agent" Functionality has been added. This includes an AI pipeline to transcribe (speech to text) a live agent call shown to the agent as well as to the supervisors with augmented conversation help, hints as well as a call summary. The live agent functionality requires either Azure Speech Services or EnderTuring speech recognition.

The "Live-Agent" within the jtel WebClient (Agent Home) can be enhanced with integrated AI modules to assist the processing of the conversation. A chain of AI modules can be attached to the transcription process including: (1) Sentiment analysis, (2) extraction and display of useful “entities” like Ticket-Number / Account-Number / Reference-Number, (3) Suggestion of the jtel Transaction Code, (4) Extraction and display of a call summary and any further AI which supports a RESTful endpoint. Even your own AI module for example from Microsoft Copilot or an existing bot.  The AI chain based on the live transcription can run in parallel. This feature requires activation via jtel and additional licences.

Undo Transaction Codes - The possibility to remove set transaction codes within the Agent Home and MiniClient has been made possible. 

A SAP ICI connector has been implemented. This enables screen popups within the SAP GUI and optional agent status changes from within the SAP application. Several call functions are supported within the SAP GUI depending on the PBX, like call- hold, retrieve, hangup and answer.

Copy Service Numbers settings - A new feature to copy settings from one Service Number to another is implemented. Improving our mass configuration.

The Workflow Object "User Search" is enhanced to search by Email Address. The parameter $prefix.usersemail to search by the user’s email address was added. And when the search fails because more than one user was found, the following variable is provided: $prefix.userscount .

Acd events can be created for appointments with a priority. Events in the queue are now sorted according to their priority, highest first, then according to the received date, oldest first. An appointment date / time can be specified. Events are not distributed before this date and time, if specified.

Agent outbound calls with follow up workflow. It is possible to run IVR applications after an agent dialler call or click to dial outbound call.

 - The "AcdEvent Create Advanced" object is used to create automatically an AcdEvent (Callback, Email, Fax, SMS, Ticket, Voicemail) for distribution in the system.
 - The "SalesForce Generic Query" object uses the jtel REST API genericQuery to request any available data from the SalesForce instance.  from the SalesForce instance.

Call recording FTP Upload supports a second FTP server - Enabling the upload of call recordings into a second FTP server.

Customizable display possibilities for calls in jtel portal Agent Home and jtel MiniClient. It is among other things possible to use JSON Stuctured Data displayed during the call.
 - The level of customization is high, the display of the information is based on AsciiDoc, which is a human-readable document format, semantically equivalent to XML schema, but using plain-text mark-up conventions. With this the data can be structured in tables and even highlighting and coloring is possible. In consequence this new function has rearranged the previous jtel portal Agent Home and MiniClient "Current Call" tab. All of the call data (Call Details, Routing, Contact) is now shown on the right hand side under a newly arranged "Current Call" tab and this area can be customized. Also within the MiniClient these newly arranged areas being Call Details, Routing and Contact can be customized.

Customizable jtel ACD Supervisor view via CSS styles and Client Master Data paramaters - Rendering of column values with thresholds and coloring table columns and wallboard tiles is now possible. For example, if the service level drops below 60% it could be shown in red, below 80% in yellow, otherwise in green.

(2) CompressedU which is User/Agent oriented. From a user perspective.
(3) CompressedUA which combined both above views.
(4) CompressedACDB which now compress the call statistics from the ACD Groups perspective of the calls. Counting direct calls, overflow and forwarding calls to an ACD Group.

Extensively improved callback management for manual callbacks and callbacks left by the caller, preventing duplicate callbacks. Another enhancement in connection with callback is a new IVR object “Create Callback (Variable)” which allows the specification of a variable ACD Group (for example $acd_groups_id) when creating the callback. In addition, there is now the option of a new announcement Prompt "Callback already booked", which has been added to the ACD group parameters (on the Queue Tab).
