Guided Assistance for Agents handling Chat in the Browser UI
Answer ID 12710   |   Last Review Date 09/28/2023

Can Guided Assistance be used by agents who handle chats in the BUI?

Environment:

Chat, Browser UI
Oracle B2C Service

Resolution:

Agents using the Browser UI to answer live chats can utilize the Guided Assistance feature during those active sessions. The Guided Assistance feature gives service agents the ability to locate answers or text explanations using question branches to guide them to the appropriate response. This allows agents to quickly find information they can provide when working with customers on the phone or when responding to an incident, or when chatting.
