  • Customer service agents can use playbooks to complete the tasks and activities that are needed to resolve specific types of cases.

    A playbook provides step-by-step guidance through the lifecycle of a customer service case. In the CSM workspaces, agents can locate a playbook in the Playbook tab for a case record. In CSM Configurable Workspace, a playbook can also be configured to display in compact mode in the contextual side panel.

    A playbook includes multiple stages and each stage includes one or more activities for an agent to complete. When using a playbook, agents can:
    • View the playbook stages and activities.
    • Select an activity and perform the work necessary to complete that activity.
    • Mark an activity as complete and move to the next activity or stage.
    • Complete the stages and activities necessary to resolve the case.

    Several features are available to agents when using a playbook, depending on the playbook configuration.
