  • The Email interaction record page enables customer service agents to work on incoming emails as interactions, similar to the chat and voice interaction record pages.

    Email interactions help client support teams triage and obtain proper approvals before proceeding with any work on an account. Email interactions act as a staging record before agents create cases for additional work.

    The Email Interaction record page enables agents to work on incoming emails in the activity stream of an interaction record.

    Email Interaction record page variant

    The Email Interaction record page variant is included with the CSM Configurable Workspace application (com.snc.uib.csm_agent_workspace). This page variant includes the following settings.

    Table 1. Email interaction record page variant settings
    Setting Description
    Active Enabling the Active check box makes the page variant available to the selected audience. The Email Interaction record page variant is inactive by default.

    The active setting combined with the page order determines the page that CSM Configurable Workspace uses to display record information. For more information, see Set record page order.

    Order Each record page has an order which indicates the page priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

    The default order for the Email interaction record page variant is -1001.

    Conditions Conditions determine when a page variant is displayed. The Email interaction record page variant has the following conditions:
    • table = interaction: Limits the use of the Email interaction page variant to records from the Interaction [interaction] table.
    • csm.isEmailInteractionVisible = true: Checks the UX screen condition for the variable setting. If this variable is set to true, this page variant should be displayed.
    If all of these conditions are met, the system displays the Email Interaction record page variant.
    Audience The audience determines who can see the page variant. The Email Interaction record page does not have a defined audience.
