Welcome to Spring 2024 with Natterbox: Blossoming Conversations Await!

As we embrace the refreshing spirit of spring, Natterbox is excited to introduce our latest set of features and enhancements aimed at enhancing your customer conversations and simplifying your operations. With our Spring Release 2024, we're rolling out a range of innovations spanning Natterbox Voice, AI, Digital Channels, and Salesforce Supported Products, poised to elevate your interactions to the next level.

Natterbox Voice: Amplifying Conversations with Enhanced Capabilities

Continuing our commitment to excellence in 2024, we're thrilled to share upgrades and enhancements within Natterbox Voice, the cornerstone of your service and sales operations. This quarter, our focus has been on enhancing agent efficiency with a suite of features including Enhanced Voice Wrap-Up, Microphone & Speaker Notifications, Expanded Dial List Objects, My Caller ID Updates, and Transfer Button Visibility Controls.

Enhanced Voice Wrap-Up

Our Enhanced Voice Wrap-Up features offer real-time wrap-up timers, wrap-up time extension, and early exit controls. Agents can navigate post-call tasks seamlessly, ensuring that every interaction concludes with precision and professionalism, while admins can monitor performance and intervene as needed with new Wallboard notifications if an agent is in wrap-up for too long. To get started, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Natterbox, and follow these steps.

Microphone & Speaker Notifications

Microphone and speaker notifications are now available by default for all Natterbox CTI users. With visible microphone and speaker indicators on the CTI, agents can be notified if the active microphone or speaker changes while on a call for any reason with confidence, ensuring uninterrupted conversations and enhanced call quality. 

Expanded Dial-List Objects

Agents can now create dial lists using the Case and Opportunity objects, in addition to Account, Contact, and Lead. With customized dial lists, agents can accelerate outbound calls and maximize productivity, empowering your teams to engage with confidence and efficiency.

My Caller ID Updates

We’ve updated the Organizational Numbers section of My Caller ID for all Freedom CTI users. The display now starts with the name column first, followed by the phone number column, and third the routing policy that it is assigned to. Previously you could only see the routing policy followed by the number itself.

All Freedom CTI users will see this update by default once updated to Natterbox version 1.290 or later.

Transfer Button Visibility Controls

Lastly, due to popular demand, it is now possible to hide the Transfer Button. With added controls, admins can tailor the agent interface to suit your preferences and hide the transfer button if desired.

To take advantage of these new features, update to the latest version of Natterbox or contact your Customer Success Manager with any questions.

AI: Cultivating Insights with Precision

As we kick off 2024, Natterbox AI remains one of our key focuses, with lots of anticipation for what lies ahead. These initial introductions mark the beginning of a wave of innovative AI features set to roll out in the months to come. At Natterbox, our AI journey begins with precision transcription of every call, laying the groundwork for insightful analysis through Natterbox Insight. Explore below for more details on our improved transcription model and AI Call Summaries Anywhere feature.

AI Call Summaries Anywhere

In our Winter 2023 Release, we announced AI-powered Call Summaries with Natterbox Insight. We are delighted to introduce AI Call Summaries Anywhere, a feature that allows you to integrate automated call summaries seamlessly into various Salesforce objects, ensuring that valuable insights are readily accessible wherever you need them. With AI Call Summaries Anywhere, not only can you view summaries within the Insight window, but you can also choose to add them to contact records, accounts, cases, or any custom object. This feature increases productivity for your agents and enables you to glean actionable intelligence from every conversation effortlessly.
