Salesforce Agent Release History

Version 24.1.3

Fixed Issues

  • Agents didn't receive error messages after dialing a bad number. (SF-13272)

  • Agents got stuck in an ACWClosed State that allows an agent to complete work requirements after finishing an interaction state without a disposition channel. This issue occurred after agents parked inbound emails and later took inbound calls. (SF-13239)

  • If the agent set their status in Omni-Channel to offline, their status didn't update in Salesforce Agent Desktop. When they refreshed the page, the status in Omnichannel would change to match Salesforce Agent Desktop instead of the other way around. (SF-13266)

  • While working on multiple chats, agents saw contact responses appear in the wrong chat. For example, the agent is helping Contact 1 in Chat 1 and Contact 2 in Chat 2. Occasionally, the agent sees Contact 1's responses in Chat 2 instead of in Chat 1. (SF-13164)

  • In some systems, searching for skill names in the Salesforce Agent address book didn't return the expected results. (SF-13315)

Customer Request UI Change

Fixed Issues

  • Agents couldn't see scheduled commitments. (SF-12839)

  • When a call connection was unstable, agents with an auto-accept voice skill had many abandoned calls. (SF-12860)

  • In Salesforce Agent version 23.9, the secondary ringer didn't play on the selected device. (SF-12847)

  • When two contacts or work items were closed the following would happen. Both of them would clear in the Salesforce Omni-channel UI. One contact or work item would remain in the Salesforce Agent UI. (SF-12904)

Fixed Issues

  • Some text in Salesforce Agent wasn't properly translated into Chinese Simplified. (SF-12673)

  • Multiple clicks on the Transfer/Conf button could lead to call delays. This happened because multiple getSfResult log events were triggered with each click. These have been reduced to improve the response time. (SF-12676)

  • Some text on the Salesforce Agent login page wasn't properly translated into Japanese. (SF-12540)

  • When users set the integrated softphone settings to a device name with more than 255 characters, the change wasn't saved. (SF-12682)

  • Screen pops for Personal Connection calls didn't appear as expected. (SF- 12709)

  • When calls were connected over WebRTC, the dialing event wasn't being sent. As a result, when agents took subsequent calls, their agent state became stuck and their calls were sometimes automatically refused. The dialing event is now being sent. (SF- 12696)
