Here’s an example of incredible integration possibilities with Microsoft Tech. & other communication tools – we’ve used WhatsApp here. So the customer messages the organization over WhatsApp with an issues, which the agent/engineers receives & acknowledges over an adaptive card in MS Teams in real time! With deep integration from Teams to PowerApps, the agent is able to assign a technician real time with the case in a few clicks. The agent is further able to guide the technician to resolve the issue by collaborating on Teams & finally resolve the case in PowerApps and WhatsApp back the customer from PowerApps, real time!
