Configure Oracle Workflows for CXone Agent Embedded

This is the final step of setting up CXone Agent Embedded in Oracle.

You can configure Search, Custom Create, and Standard Create workflows for Oracle and CXone Agent Embedded. These workflows search or create Oracle records, also called entities or objects. This is the back end configuration of dynamic data mapping.

Workflow Type

Description

Workflows

Search Search workflows scan Oracle for records that are applicable to the interaction the agent is handling. Search for ANI
Custom Search
Custom Create Custom Create workflows create any record type with both standard and custom fields. Create Custom Record
Standard Create Standard Create workflows create standard Oracle records with their standard data fields. The SNIPPET payload of these workflows must include the standard fields and only those fields. Create Asset
Create Contact
Create Incident
Create Opportunity
Create Organization
Create Task

Configure Search Workflows

There are two Search workflows: Search for ANI and Custom Search.

Configure the Search for ANI Workflow

The Search for ANI workflow uses the ANIClosed Also known as caller ID. Listed phone number of an incoming voice call. from the ACD to search all standard phone fields for matching records.

  1. In Studio, open the script where you want to configure the Search for ANI workflow.

  2. If you haven't already, add a SNIPPET action after BEGIN and before the Workflow Execute action.

  3. Double-click the SNIPPET action on the script canvas.

  4. Copy each of the following lines of code and paste them into the Text View tab of the Editor window.

    
    DYNAMIC searchInput
    searchInput.workflowInput.phoneNumber = "{ANI}"
    						
    ASSIGN searchJson = "{searchInput.asjson()}"
    		
  5. Save your script.

  6. You can test your script by simulating an interaction in Studio.

Configure the Custom Search Workflow

The Custom Search workflow allows you to search for one or more Oracle records. They also allow you to search multiple fields and variables within a specified record. You can connect different search requirements using Oracle operators.

This workflow supports these Oracle records:

  • Asset

  • Contact

  • Incident

  • Opportunity

  • Organization

  • Task

  1. In Studio, open the script where you want to configure the Custom Search workflow.

  2. If you haven't already, add a SNIPPET action after BEGIN and before the Workflow Execute action.

  3. Double-click the SNIPPET action on the script canvas.

  4. Copy each of the following lines of code and paste them into the Text View tab of the Editor window.

    
    DYNAMIC searchInput
    DYNAMIC payload
    payload.entity = "[API name]"
    payload.filter = "[fieldName] [operator] {variable}"
    searchInput.workflowInput.search = payload
    						
    ASSIGN searchJson = "{searchInput.asjson()}"
    		
  5. Change the value of the payload.entity attribute to the API name for the record you want to use. For example, payload.entity = "asset". This is case-sensitive.

  6. Change the value of the payload.filter attribute. This determines the search filter criteria for the record. For example, payload.filter = "phone='{ANI}'".

    1. Change [fieldName] to the name of the field you want to use to search, such as ticketNumber. This is case-sensitive.

    2. Change [operator] to the Oracle operator you want to use. A full list of Oracle operators can be found in the Oracle documentation Box with arrow indicating navigation to external site.. This is case-sensitive.

    3. Change {variable} to the variable you want assign to the field. This is case-sensitive.

  7. To add additional search filters, use an Oracle operator between the filters. For example:

    
    payload.filter = "phone='{ANI}'AND customer_number_c='{CustomerNumber}'"
    		
  8. Save your script.

  9. You can test your script by simulating an interaction in Studio.

Configure Custom Create Workflows

Custom Create workflows allow you to configure a SNIPPET payload to create any type of Oracle record, standard or custom. They also allow you to populate any field type, standard or custom. For example, you could create an Asset record with some of the standard fields from that record type, as well as your own custom fields.

This is the recommended method to create Oracle records.

Configure the Create Custom Record Workflow (Previously Create Entity)

The Create Custom Record workflow creates any type of Oracle record, standard or custom. This record can display standard and custom data fields. The fields must contain text, numbers, or variables. Binded fields are most often populated by search results or lists of options, but you can configure this workflow to add hard-coded data to a binded field.

This was previously called the Create Entity workflow.

  1. In Studio, open the script where you want to configure the Create Custom Record workflow.

  2. If you haven't already, add a SNIPPET action after ONANSWER or ONASSIGNMENT.

  3. Double-click the SNIPPET action on the script canvas.

  4. Copy each of the following lines of code and paste them into the Text View tab of the Editor window.

    
    DYNAMIC createPayload
    DYNAMIC createDataArray
    						
    DYNAMIC item1
    item1.field = "subject"
    item1.value = "New Record - {CONTACTID}"
    DYNAMIC item2
    item2.field = "phonenumber"
    item2.value = "{ANI}"
    DYNAMIC item3
    item3.field = "new_contactid"
    item3.value = "{CONTACTID}"
    						
    createPayload.entity = "incident"
    		ASSIGN createDataArray[1] = item1
    		ASSIGN createDataArray[2] = item2
    		ASSIGN createDataArray[3] = item3
    CreatePayload.data = createDataArray
    
    createPayload.pinnedRecord = "[true or false]"
    						
    DYNAMIC create[RecordName]Payload
    create[RecordName]Payload.workflowInput = createPayload
    						
    ASSIGN create[RecordName]Json = "{create[RecordName]Payload.asjson()}"
    		
  5. Change the value of the createPayload.pinnedRecord attribute to either true or false. When set to true, the created record will display to agents in the Current Interactions section of the customer card. If set to false, it will display in the Recent Interactions section of the customer card. If you do not include this attribute in the payload, it will be assumed as false.
  6. Change all the instances of [RecordName] in the last three lines of the code to the name of the record you created. Capitalize the name to match the camel case of the attribute. For example, if the name of the record you created is incident, your code would be:

    
    DYNAMIC createIncidentPayload
    createIncidentPayload.workflowInput = createPayload
    						
    ASSIGN createIncidentJson = "{createIncidentPayload.asjson()}"
    		
  7. To add additional fields:

    1. Create additional dynamic data objects under item3.value = "{CONTACTID}". Follow this format:

      
      DYNAMIC item#
      item#.field = "[fieldname]"
      item#.value = "{variable}"
      		
    2. Then create additional data arrays under createPayload.entity = "incident". Follow this format:

      
      ASSIGN createDataArray[#] = item#
      		

      The number (#) needs to increment by one with each additional item you add to the array.

  8. Save your script.

  9. You can test your script by simulating an interaction in Studio.

Configure Standard Create Workflows

Standard Create workflows allow users to search standard Oracle records inside Oracle.

You cannot add or delete fields in the SNIPPET payload of Standard Create workflows. If you add or delete fields, the record won't be created. To create a standard or custom record with the fields you want, use the Create Custom Record workflow.

Pin Records

You can pin a record to the Current Interaction section of the customer card. When a record is pinned, it is linked icon of a check mark in a green box. for data memorialization and timeline by default. This means that data memorialization and timeline information will be added to the Oracle record when the interaction is completed. If the agent does not want the information to be mapped, they can unlink the record.

  1. Open the SNIPPET with the workflow for the record you want to pin.
