## Key Features

* **Interaction Controls Component (ICC) and Contact Center Integration Core:** Enables agents to manage calls directly within the Configurable Workspace, including call controls like mute, hold, and transfer. ICC also integrates with third-party Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) platforms, supporting telephony features and data synchronization such as queues, skills, and wrap-up codes.
* **Business Portal:** Provides customer self-service capabilities including knowledge articles, service catalogs, case management, and Virtual Agent support with low-code configuration widgets to reduce maintenance.
* **Email as an Interaction:** Transforms email communications into tracked interactions, centralizing customer communication, reducing duplicate case creation, and notifying agents of customer responses.
* **Amazon Connect Integration:** Supports inbound and outbound voice calls managed directly within CRM Workspace, including queue selection for outbound calls to enhance routing and reporting.
* **WhatsApp Cloud API Integration:** Offers direct, rich media messaging within CSM without reliance on third-party tools, including text, images, audio, videos, interactive controls, and Virtual Agent support.
* **Callback Management Enhancements:** Allows customers to request immediate or scheduled callbacks, with agents able to view, initiate, transfer, and monitor these callbacks efficiently within the voice interaction page.
* **Global Call List and Phone Directory:** Facilitates seamless call handling and workspace switching for agents, with embedded phone directory access for outbound calls.
* **Coral Theme and Accessibility:** Introduces a new default portal theme with brand-neutral illustrations and a dark mode option for improved readability and reduced eye strain.

## Key Changes

* **Email Interaction Page Enhancements:** New UI components including Contact cards, Customer History tabs, New Activity markers, and modeless dialogs enable agents to manage email interactions more efficiently while maintaining context.
* **Data List Widget Improvements:** Offers dynamic, role-based, and guest view configuration, automatic URL parameter passing, script-based view selection, and configurable sorting for richer portal experiences.
* **Callback and Queue Management:** Improved callback handling with transfer capabilities, scheduled callback options, expanded reason categories, and bulk assignment of service channels to queues streamline agent workflows.
* **Unified Email Routing via CCaaS:** Supports external routing, interaction hold with capacity management, automated customer reminders, and rerouting for agent unavailability to optimize email handling.
* **Agent Chat Enhancements:** Allows agents to leave chats without ending sessions for others, multiple wrap-up codes per chat, and confirmation prompts before closing chat tabs.
* **ICC Call Control Notifications:** Agents receive alerts when supervisors join or coach calls during live monitoring.

## Deprecations

* The Customer Service CTI Demo Data Plugin and CTI Softphone Plugin are no longer supported or enhanced starting with the Zurich release.

## Additional Considerations

{#dfrn3-selfserviceandomnichannelengagementforcsm-summary__entry__10}

| Release | Release notes |
|-|-|
| Xanadu | No updates for this release. |
| Yokohama | [Interaction Controls Component (ICC)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=contact-center-integration-with-icc&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   As an agent, manage calls, such as muting, holding, and transferring, directly within the Configurable Workspace. As a part of the new Voice interaction page experience, the ICC framework helps improve workflow efficiency and promotes a consistent agent experience across all channels. Note: ICC must be integrated with your specific Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) plugin to establish the telephony connection. Connect customers with field agents or third-party support teams in the embedded call interface. Choose between the following transfer options: * Consult transfer: Share the call context with the external contact before transferring the customer. * Blind transfer: Immediately transfer the call to the external contact. [Business Portal](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-business-portal&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Support your customers through the Business Portal self-service capabilities, such as knowledge articles, service catalogs, case management, Virtual Agent, and others. Help reduce maintenance effort through low-code configurations on pages with configurable widgets. [Email as an Interaction](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=email-channel&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Enhance case management with the Email as an Interaction feature. * Transform emails into interactions, enabling customer communication to be tracked in a central location and help avoid unnecessary case creation. * Manage straightforward customer inquiries via email, create cases for more complex issues, or link emails to existing cases. * Notify agents on email responses received from customers. [Integrating Conversational SMS with AWS End User Messaging](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=conversational-sms-integration-amazon&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Integrate the ServiceNow SMS channel with AWS end-user messaging to engage in conversations with Now Virtual Agent and live agents to address and resolve any customer queries or issues. [Contact Center Integration Core](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=contactcenter-integration&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   As an admin, import data automatically from a third-party contact center as a service (CCaaS) application to facilitate external routing and third-party telephony integration in their ServiceNow® instance. Note: The Contact Center Integration Core is a framework that includes voice call features, which doesn't work unless CCaaS implements it. * Import records such as queues, skills, and wrap-up codes from a third party into your ServiceNow instance. * Maintain data consistency between your ServiceNow instance and third-party systems. Verify that chats and cases are routed to the correct agent and that the correct wrap-up codes are available when dispositioning an interaction. [OpenFrame Integration to Interaction Controls Component (ICC)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=interaction-controls-component&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   ICC is a new component for a native call controls interface embedded in Agent Workspace. With the ICC component, you can do the following: * Create the state context in OpenFrame to read the state of idle and active call state, and the state of the transfer. * Provide iframe sandbox parameters to allow iframe access to security features and to enable additional iframe restrictions. * Create an extension point implementation to create and get phone log segments. |
| Zurich | [Amazon Connect for voice calls via ICC](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=amazon-connect-for-voice-calls&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Manage Amazon Connect calls directly in the CRM Workspace voice Interaction record page. This integration supports inbound and outbound call flows, presence management, and call transfers without switching applications. [Selecting queues for outbound calls](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=select-queues-for-outbound-calls&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Enable agents to designate a specific queue for their outbound calls directly from the keypad or the phone directory in the Global Call window to improve routing and reporting. This provides a streamlined search interface that enables agents to find and select a single queue that can be applied across all outbound dialing methods. [Integrating WhatsApp with Customer Service Management using the WhatsApp Cloud API](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=messg-integrating-whatsapp-with-csm-whatsapp-cloud&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Connect directly to WhatsApp Cloud API for more reliable, feature-rich customer support without third-party dependencies.

[Voice Controls Simulator tool](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=voice-control-simulator-tool&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Test and validate voice call UI flows in the CRM Workspace to ensure CCaaS partners have clear insights into their supported voice control capabilities.

[Defining CCaaS callbacks](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=interaction-controls-component-icc-callback-integration-features&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : * Offer callers a callback option that lets them retain their position in the queue and receive a call when an agent is available. Alternatively, callers can choose a specific date and time for the callback, also known as scheduled callback. * As an agent, view callback requests in the order that they're received. [CCaaS callback features](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=contact-center-intergration-with-icc-callback&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   As an agent, address callback requests from the CRM Workspace. Initiate callbacks and manage active calls with the Callback context card and Callback Actions component on the voice interaction page. On the Callback actions component, you can use the Call number option to initiate a call; alternatively, the call can be initiated automatically at the end of the preview timer when enabled. After the call has ended, the Close callback option closes the callback interaction and changes the status to Closed complete. Agents can also retry the callback as needed. Monitor the callback life cycle and capture the preview time that measures the time between when an agent accepts the callback request and the agent dials out the customer. [Global call list](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ccaas-global-call-list&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Switch between workspaces using the global call list. As a CSM agent, you can accept calls and open interaction records in supported, unsupported, or default workspaces. [Phone directory](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ccaas-phone-directory&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Access the embedded phone directory in your CRM Workspace via Interaction Controls Component (ICC) to make outbound calls to external and internal contacts. [Call resiliency](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ccaas-call-resiliency&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) :   Route phone calls to the CRM Workspace without creating an interaction record, helping agents handle calls even during connectivity issues. |
