Agent for Salesforce Release History

Version 23.9

Released 13 October 2023

Fixed Issues

  • When agents used an outbound voice skill with post contact set to Automatic Wrap-up or Disposition, answering a call caused the ACW timer to reset to 0 and not change. (SF-12644)

  • Some text in Agent for Salesforce wasn't properly translated into Chinese Simplified. (SF-12673)

  • Multiple clicks on the Transfer/Conf button could lead to call delays. This happened because multiple getSfResult log events were triggered with each click. These have been reduced to improve the response time. (SF-12676)

  • Some text on the Agent for Salesforce login page wasn't properly translated into Japanese. (SF-12540)
