Vonage has introduced Vonage Conversations for Salesforce, a versatile omnichannel messaging application driven by the Vonage Communications Platform. This app enables businesses to interact with customers directly through the Salesforce platform, offering enhanced customer experiences by seamlessly combining automated bot interactions with Vonage Contact Center (VCC) agent support.
The application offers a highly adaptable and scalable solution for sending SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp messages directly from the Salesforce platform. This integration streamlines the process of creating customized workflows using standard Salesforce tools. Given that 30% of consumers prefer messaging apps for business communication, Vonage's "Conversations for Salesforce" aims to enhance customer interactions, personalize conversations, and boost productivity.
Leveraging Salesforce as a centralized source of customer data, users can engage in conversations while accessing complete customer histories. Additionally, response handling can be automated using chatbots or routed to the appropriate agent or department for swift issue resolution.
“Vonage 'Conversations for Salesforce' unlocks the power of delivering personalised two-way interactions with customers from Salesforce, enabling engagement at scale with SMS, MMS and WhatsApp channels while blending bot and VCC agent interactions. Based on Salesforce’s best practices and latest tools, the app overcomes the constraints of existing solutions and is enabling conversations across the entire organisation,” said Savinay Berry, EVP, Product & Engineering for Vonage
