2Ring GADGETS for Cisco Finesse 3.2 is available and shipping as of today. To learn more, schedule a live demo over Cisco Webex.

New Features

  • Browser Extension – enhance Chrome or Firefox browsers with a browser extension from 2Ring to deliver agent state visualization (Ready, NotReady, ..) and to allow agents to change their state while working on any browser tab (so even from outside of Cisco Finesse). 2Ring’s browser extensions cooperate with 2Ring Dialog Gadget to also orchestrate CRM scenarios, such as open, focus, close, reload and replace tabs of the hosting browser and to enable click to call (click2call) from applications running inside of these supported browsers (with 2Ring extension enabled).
    • Note: 2Ring Browser Extension requires Cisco Finesse to be running in one of the browser’s tabs.

Dialog Gadget

  • WrapUp code can be automatically applied after agent changes selection of WrapUp code. No need to hit the Apply button. One click saving per every call. (Optional)
  • WrapUp codes can be grouped using naming convention Group\Code1, Group\Code2. (Optional)
  • The list of WrapUp codes can be set dynamically by workflow providing different set of codes for each call.
  • Contact lookup in a CRM connector can automatically open the corresponding screen in CRM system if a single entry is found.
