Using Agent Helper in Salesforce

This doc provides detailed information on how Agent Helper looks like in your Salesforce instance, the different aspects of it, and how to use it.

To use Agent Helper in your Salesforce Service Console, you need to have SearchUnify search client installed. If you haven't installed the search client yet, refer to the following doc on how to install Salesforce Service Console search client:

Install a Search Client in Salesforce Console

To launch the agent launcher app, click on the three dots icon on the SearchUnify element on your case details page and select Agent Helper.

Upon launching the app, the first thing the app does for you is create an AI-generated first response. The details of all of its elements are as below:

First Response

For SearchUnify v24.Q1 and newer versions, the app will create a first response draft based on the case title, description, comments, etc. The draft will also contain the links of possible help articles that can be useful for the customers.

NOTE. This only works when you have integrated an LLM within SearchUnify. Related doc: Configure LLM Integrations

This saves your support agents' time that goes into drafting the email manually. With the first response generated for them, they just have to review the draft, edit it if required, copy it to clipboard, and use it to respond to the customer. If the generated response is unsatisfactory, they can regenerate the response as well.

Summary

For SearchUnify v24.Q1 and newer versions, the app will summarize the case and create an LLM-powered summary to help your agents to quickly review of the case and its progress.

NOTE. This only works when you have integrated an LLM within SearchUnify. Related doc: Configure LLM Integrations

Click Regenerate Response if you feel that the generated summary is unsatisfactory.

Overview

Case Sentiment Score shows customer sentiment at the time of contacting support. The report picks up cues on whether a customer is cheerful, dissatisfied, or nonchalant during an interaction and tags the customers sentiment:

  • Positive. The customer is appreciative of support.

  • Negative. The customer is likely to escalate the case.

  • Neutral. The customer doesn't express either positive or negative sentiment.

The applications of this report are numerous. The core benefit is that you can prioritize cases. A case with a negative customer sentiment usually requires immediate attention to prevent an escalation, whereas cases with neutral and positive customer sentiment can be resolved within stipulated limits.

The rationale behind customer sentiment is visible through Case Sentiment Terminologies, another report next to Case Sentiment Score. The new report highlights the words and phrases which carry customer sentiment. For example, "glad" is associated with a Positive sentiment but "disappointed" suggests a negative customer sentiment.
