Playbooks for Customer Service Management

Playbooks provide step-by-step guidance for completing the tasks needed to resolve specific types of customer service cases.

Use the playbooks feature to easily manage the life cycle of specific customer service case types. The workflows that are associated with a case type and the steps that need to be completed to resolve cases of this type are detailed in the playbook.

A playbook takes a workflow and breaks it into multiple stages. Each stage includes:

A list of activities or steps that the agent needs to perform.
Status indicators that display the current state of each activity or step.
Check boxes and counters that indicate where an agent is in the workflow.

Playbooks are created using the Process Automation Designer platform feature.
