In our previous blog, we explored how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center brings generative AI and end-to-end integration to every stage of the support workflow. But just as important as the platform itself is the experience it delivers to the people using it every day: the customer service representatives.
This post takes a closer look at the tools, channels, and embedded capabilities that make Dynamics 365 Contact Center a powerful solution for agents – whether your team uses Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or another CRM platform.
Embedded Flexibility
Dynamics 365 Contact Center offers two interface options:
- Use your existing CRM (like Salesforce or ServiceNow) as the UI, with the embedded conversation widget.
- Use the Dynamics 365 Contact Center workspace app for a dedicated agent experience.
The embedded widget integrates seamlessly into any HTML or JavaScript-supported system, giving agents the same powerful chat and customer data access, without needing to switch tools.
Meanwhile, the Contact Center workspace app offers a unified desktop view with built-in Copilot features, omnichannel tools (voice, chat, Teams, social), and real-time collaboration. Agents can manage multiple conversations at once, and Copilot surfaces relevant information, drafts messages, and assists with knowledge lookups.
Support Across Channels
Dynamics 365 Contact Center supports communication across digital and voice channels, giving customers the flexibility to connect on their terms.
Digital Channels Include:
- Chat: AI-enhanced live chat with real-time translation, sentiment analysis, and features like quick replies and case escalation.
- Social Messaging: Built-in support for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Apple Messages for Business, LINE, and SMS (via Azure Communication Services or Twilio).
- Microsoft Teams: Internal support can also be managed through Teams using the same omnichannel infrastructure.
These tools help agents resolve cases faster, maintain full context across interactions, and deliver high-quality support on every channel.
Native Voice Integration with AI-Powered Tools
Voice is still a critical channel for complex or urgent issues. With Dynamics 365 Contact Center, agents can make and receive PSTN calls directly in-app. AI tools provide live transcription, sentiment analysis, and conversation summaries so nothing gets lost, and follow-up actions are clear.
Unified Routing
This is one of the most powerful features of Dynamics 365 Contact Center. It intelligently routes incoming work across all channels to the best-suited agent based on skills; availability; current workload and business-defined priorities and urgency.
It uses AI and business rules to classify, prioritize, and assign tasks dynamically resulting in faster resolution, better customer satisfaction, and a more balanced, efficient workforce.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Adapt
The Contact Center admin center app makes it easy to configure channels, routing, Copilot, and reporting dashboards. Admins can:
- Use a guided experience to set up voice and digital channels.
- Access landing pages and overview dashboards for each feature.
- Adapt the site map to match provisioned capabilities.
- Setup is task-oriented and designed to be intuitive, helping teams go live faster and scale with confidence.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center doesn’t just support omnichannel service—it redefines it. This platform supports your agents and unlocks new levels of service excellence.
