Virtual Assistants

Virtual Assistant Connectors

We made the Virtual Assistants more actionable by adding the ability to capture and send user data through connectors/API integrations during conversations. Users can add connector actions on their Virtual Assistant flows to send data from conversations to third-party connectors. As part of the first release, we are launching lead generation on Salesforce through these conversations. With connector actions, the Virtual Assistants can now act as a single access point connecting different services internally and externally.

• Added a Connectors Icon on the Virtual Assistant Builder Canvas to add and connect connector actions on Flows. Supported connectors that are integrated and authenticated on OvationCXM platform will be available for the users to choose from the connector list.
• Added functionality to directly create a new lead on Salesforce from the Virtual Assistant conversations. Available for organizations having Salesforce connector pre-authenticated and integrated on their OvationCXM platform.
• Added ability for users to map entities/customers/locations/cases/manual input to the following fields (Channel, Name, Email Address, Phone Number) for "Create a new Lead" action with Salesforce connector
• Added the ability to display the required and optional fields that can be sent to perform the selected action from the selected connector. Users can map entities, locations, cases or customers to these field or can add a static manual input
• Added the connector fields to the reporting data for Virtual Assistant analytics
• Added the functionality to test a connection while "Create a new Lead" on Salesforce as action for a Virtual Assistant flow. Test Connection button will create a dummy lead object with dummy values on Salesforce for users to verify the connection link and field-object mapping.
