Omnichannel for Customer Service
OmniChannel for Customer Service provides omnichannel capabilities directly in Dynamics 365. Additionally it includes enterprise grade routing and also works with Unified Service Desk!
Note: “Omnichannel Engagement Hub” was renamed to “Omnichannel for Customer Service”. (Therefore any old references to Omnichannel Engagement Hub imply Omnichannel for Customer Service!)
Since the original launch of Omnichannel I have often blogged about its capabilities. In this post I will create a collection of links to all of my posts concerning Omnichannel.
