Creating Customer Contacts Using Call Summary and Call Tagging

Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) can use Call Summary and Call Tagging to create Customer Contacts that include an automatically generated summary of the call as well as tags (based on Characteristic Types) to categorize the call. Call Summary and Call Tagging uses Generative Artificial Intelligence and integration with a third-party Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) vendor to automatically summarize and categorize call transcripts, providing customer service agents or customer service representatives (CSR) a summary of the call. Agents can review and edit the summary and tags before saving them directly to the customer contact.

Note: Call Summary and Call Tagging relies on generative AI models that must be deployed as part of your cloud service implementation. Please contact your Oracle Customer Success Manager if you wish to use Call Summary and Call Tagging.

Customer Service Representatives access Call Summary and Call Tagging via the Service Guide zone in the Assistant area, located above the Sidebar. After accepting a call the agent can enter call notes, and then create a customer contact record to store information about the call when the call is completed.

To make themselves available to receive customer calls, the CSR should select "Ready" from the Agent Status dropdown list.

When a customer service representative receives a call from a customer, the call appears in the Service Guide zone.

When a CSR answers a call displayed in the Service Guide zone, the Agent Status is set to "Not Ready" and the phone number and call duration appear in the zone. During the call the CSR can enter a brief description of the call in the Notes field in the zone.

Other call options include:

  • Hold (Hold icon): Puts the call on hold. Click the icon again to return to the call
  • Mute (Mute Icon): Mutes the CSR. Click the icon again to unmute.
  • End Call (End Call icon): Ends the call.

When the call is ended, the CSR should click the End Call icon (the call is also ended when the customer hangs up). The phone number and call duration remain displayed in the Service Guide zone, and the CSR will create a customer contact where they can enter specifics about the customer contact.

To create a customer contact:

  • Click Create Customer Contact in the Service Guide zone. The Select Type page opens.
  • Select the Contact Class from the dropdown list.
  • Select the Customer Contact Type from the dropdown list.
  • Click OK. The Customer Contact page opens.
  • Other details, including the Person, Account, and Premise associated with the customer are populated automatically if the customer is in context (based on the Customer Contact Type). Notes previously entered in the Service Guide zone are populated in the Comments field.
  • Click Generate Summary to generate a summary and list of tags for the call. A summary of the call appears in the Summary field, and tags appear in the Tags field (tags are based on Characteristic Types defined on the Customer Contact Type). Both can be reviewed and edited as appropriate.
    • Edit the text in the Summary field as appropriate. To revert to the original summary text, click Generate Summary again. Note that you can only revert to the original summary and tags list before saving the customer contact.
    • Use the Tags dropdown list to edit the tags associated with the customer contact.
  • Add additional Characteristics to the call as appropriate, selecting a Characteristic Type and enter a Value for each.

  • Click Save to save the contact, including the Summary and Tags.
See Maintaining Customer Contacts for more information about maintaining customer contacts.
Note: By default the Agent Status is set to "Not Ready" when a call is ended. To configure your system to automatically set the Agent Status to "Ready" when a customer contact is created, contact your Oracle Customer Success Manager.
