2Ring GADGETS for Cisco Finesse 3.2 is available and shipping as of today. To learn more, schedule a live demo over Cisco Webex.

New Features

  • Browser Extension – enhance Chrome or Firefox browsers with a browser extension from 2Ring to deliver agent state visualization (Ready, NotReady, ..) and to allow agents to change their state while working on any browser tab (so even from outside of Cisco Finesse). 2Ring’s browser extensions cooperate with 2Ring Dialog Gadget to also orchestrate CRM scenarios, such as open, focus, close, reload and replace tabs of the hosting browser and to enable click to call (click2call) from applications running inside of these supported browsers (with 2Ring extension enabled).
    • Note: 2Ring Browser Extension requires Cisco Finesse to be running in one of the browser’s tabs.

Team Gadget

  • Users can sort Agent List by agent name or by agent state.
  • Users can collapse NotReady reasons into the state column to save space (click on a screenshot to enlarge)

Dialog Gadget

  • WrapUp code can be automatically applied after agent changes selection of WrapUp code. No need to hit the Apply button. One click saving per every call. (Optional)
  • WrapUp codes can be grouped using naming convention Group\Code1, Group\Code2. (Optional)
  • The list of WrapUp codes can be set dynamically by workflow providing different set of codes for each call.
  • Contact lookup in a CRM connector can automatically open the corresponding screen in CRM system if a single entry is found.
  • Contact lookup has new tabbed interface. Each connector has its own tab.
  • Contact lookup when no call is active is available for deployments where call control is disabled.
  • Contact lookup results allow consult and direct transfer actions (originally only make call action was available). 

2Ring Workflow / Orchestrator

  • An error handling for all custom event handlers has been added (an error in workflow event does not stop workflow execution).
  • A new GetCallInfo action has been added. The action returns a string representation of call details.
  • A brand new workflow action for displaying toaster notifications has been introduced. The action hides browser specific properties and provides a unified interface.
  • A new setCurrentContact workflow to mark a contact as current in Dialog Gadget
