Capabilities

Capability	Description
Send and receive messages	The Agent can open the conversation request and start interacting with the end-user in the Conversation panel. This Conversation panel displays the complete conversation history of the end-user with a Pypestream Solution. In the Conversation panel, the agent can type the response message in the Message field and click the Send button to send the message to the end-user.
Queue Position	When the end-user request for an agent to interact, Pypestream tries to connect the customer to an appropriate agent. Based on the agent selected for the end-user, the position of the end-user’s request in the wait list is communicated to the end-user. For example, “You are number # in the waitlist.”
Agent’s Conversation Queue	After Pypestream integration, when the Agent logs into Salesforce and makes themselves available for conversations, they get the current request in the Conversation queue.
Transfer Conversation	While interacting with the end-user, if the Agent finds that a skilled agent is required to handle the user, they can transfer the conversation to another Salesforce Service Cloud. The Agent can select the required skill and select an agent from the skilled agent's list. They can also add a message in the Message field to explain the issue for which the end-user has contacted.
Attach Conversation	In addition to the text messages, the Salesforce Service Cloud can also attach an image or contact to the conversation. When they click the Attachment icon, the list appears with the items they can attach. These include: Case, Contact name, Lead, Account name
End User Details	While the end-user is sending the response message, the Salesforce Service Cloud can view the end-user details, case details, social information, and any additional information in the Conversation window.
Offline Case Creation	Offline case creation is the ability of Pypestream to create a case for the end-user who requests for an agent, but there is no any agent available at that time. The case includes various details of the end-user that can help agents to call back the end-user later day.
End Conversation	After completing the interaction with the end user, the Salesforce Live Agent can click the End Conversation button to end the conversation. The confirmation message opens to confirm the End Conversation command.
