Customer Service Omnichannel identify customer with pre-survey question

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 175

I am posting this question here in General with the hopes of getting an answer, no one has an answer in the Customer Service forum. 

I am following 2 instructions:

https://medium.com/hitachisolutions-braintrust/omnichannel-for-customer-service-auto-identify-a-customer-e8ae270553a5

and

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/omnichannel/administrator/record-identification-rule

and it's not working, it is not a complicated setup, not at all, just add a pre-survey question with Question Name as Name and you should be ready to go!?

But incoming chat requests are still coming in as "Visitor" even if first and last name are a perfect match between Contact record and pre-survey answer. 

So what is missing, I have seen that other users has had the same questions regarding this functionality not working but few answers. 

Would there be anything interfering with this functionality? Like Power Virtual Agent?

Is it required to do something with the context variable in Workstream? Should the type be entity reference for the Name?

    Hi Poja,

    Thank you for your questions and for using Dynamics Forums

    As far as I am aware, these are the required steps to automatically identiy a customer in the Details session on the conversation form

    Can you verify if the behaviour remains after:

    • Assure the Pre Operation Live Work Stream Create Plugin SDK message step is enabled

    • Create a new pre-chat survey from a new Work Stream

    Amazing, so all I had to do was to create a new Chat widget and Workstream, after weeks of struggling with this. Thank you.
