Configure Facebook Channel – Omnichannel (Dynamics 365 Customer Service)


To set up the Omnichannel –

To setup Facebook Channel,

Login to https://developers.facebook.com/, create a new account or use an existing developer account

Create a new Facebook App

Select the app type as Business

Provide an appropriate name and create the app.

Select Messenger as the Product for the app.

Next either  add an existing page or create a new one and then add the newly created page in the Messenger >> Settings

Here we created a new page and have added that page.

We can also Generate token for the page, which we will use while configuring Facebook Channel in Dynamics 365.

Click on Generate token and copy the token. Also, save the Page Id below the name of the page.

We will also need App ID and App Secret, which we can get from – Settings >> Basic

Next, we add a few test accounts to the app for testing/using the app. (we are not making the app publicly available or live, which would require and approval process)

Navigate to App Roles >> Roles >> Testers (Add Testers)

Back in Customer Service Admin Center, navigate to Customer Support >> Channels >> Messaging Accounts (Manage)

Add a New Account

Click Next and provide the App ID and Application Secret

Add Facebook Page to the account

Provide the Page name, Page ID, and the Page access token.

With the page successfully added, click on Next

Copy the Callback URL and the Token.

Paste this information in the Messenger product added.

Click on Add Callback URL.

Click on Verify and save

This adds the Webhooks details, click on Add Subscriptions for the Page added.

Select messages

We can see the account added.

Open the record, and navigate to the Facebook Pages tab, there we can see the Provisioning state as Running.

Next, we will create a Channel for this Facebook Account.

Navigate to Customer Support >> Channels >> Messaging (Manage) >> Add Channel

Select Channel as Facebook.

Add an existing workstream or create a new workstream.

Next, select the Facebook Page configured in the previous steps.

Language as English.

We can specify custom automated messages and Post Conversation survey settings here.

Specify the File attachments setting and message tag.

Review and if required edit the details and finally click on Create channel to create the Facebook channel

Next open the workstream created, to specify routing rules, work distribution, bot, etc. to route the customers to the queues/agents.

Here we can create a Route to Queue ruleset to route the messages on the Facebook page to a specific Queue.

Create the ruleset record.

Next, Create a rule. We can define the conditions here (right now we are keeping it blank) and routing to the Default messaging Queue (we can create a specific queue and add only the required users).

Make sure you have added users to the Queue and assigned Omnichannel Agent security roles.

We can update the default Work distribution properties.

Now sending the message from the Facebook Messenger, will pop up the notification for the agent logged into Customer Service Workspace.

Accept the notification to start the conversation.

How to – switch between Enhanced and Legacy (Default) multisession workspace in Customer Service Workspace


Update – We can use the below option – Customer Service Admin Center >> Operations >> Miscellaneous >> New and upcoming features – Multisession Layout ImprovementsEnhanced

With the Enhanced multisession layout in Customer Service Workspace, we have different sessions open in different tabs at the top and different tabs inside each session, along with the Navigation on the left.

To revert to the old default workspace or legacy navigation (deprecated), open the developer tools in the browser.

And paste the following command in the Console tab.

Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().saveSettingValue(“msdyn_MultiSessionLayoutImprovements”,false)

Or

Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().saveSettingValue(“msdyn_MultisessionNavigationImprovements”,false)


We can see the layout changed to the legacy one–

To enable the new enhanced layout (recommended) back, in the console window of developers tools paste the below command.

Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().saveSettingValue(“msdyn_MultiSessionLayoutImprovements”,true)

Hope it helps..

Fixed – Power Virtual Agents bots for voice not working (Dynamics 365 Customer Service Omnichannel)


We can configure aa PVA Bot for workstreams and when we install the voice channel demo, we can see a bot already configured for the demo workstream.

Recently in our case, the bot configured was not working and we were getting the below message on calling the workstream/voice channel configured.

“Sorry, we couldn’t serve you at this moment. Please call back later”

On removing the bot the workstream/channel was working properly.

We raised the Microsoft support ticket for the same and were suggested to create/configure a new bot instead of using the existing demo/trial one as it might give an issue because of being configured in a different environment.

On configuring a new bot the issue got fixed for us.

Hope it helps..

Agents not receiving calls in Omnichannel Voice – Dynamics 365 Customer Service


Recently we saw a few of our agents were not receiving the calls/notification for incoming conversations.

Apart from checking the Routing Diagnostics, we can refer to the Omnichannel Ongoing Conversation Dashboard (available for the Omnichannel Supervisor role)

In our case, we realized that the ongoing conversation was in Wrap-up status for the agent.

And also as we had a work item limit of 1 along with assignment blocking defined through the capacity profile for that agent, the agent wasn’t receiving the incoming notifications.

So here we can ask the agent to close the session correctly.

Or as a supervisor, we can force close the conversation from the Omnichannel Ongoing Conversation Dashboard.

Force Close-

Hope it helps..
