This help page is for Desktop Studio. This information is also available for CXone Studio.

The icon for the AgentAssist action - a monitor with a speech bubble coming out of it. The speech bubble contains two circles next to each other.

Dependencies

  • The Agent Assist action must be placed after the Onanswer event action in your script. Agent Assist requires the ID of the agent handling the interaction. This ID isn't assigned until after Onanswer.

  • A single script can contain more than one instance of the AGENT ASSIST action.
  • You can work with more than one agent assist application in a single script. You need to have at least one instance of the AGENT ASSIST action for each application you're using in the script. However, the script can only use one configuration profile per application each time it runs. For example, if you have two RTIG profiles and two AutoSummary profiles, you need to have script logic that chooses one profile from each application to use each time the script runs.
