Placeholder grammar/syntax to refer to user-data (use in Shortcuts and Tabs, access CRM, make call, send SMS…))
It's nice to have user data (either Pre-chat form or JS API adding Meta-Data). It's even better to USE it !
Shortcuts : \hello = « Dear {firstname}, how can I help you ? »
Trigger: « Dear {firstname}, welcome. We'll get back to you shortly… »
Tabs : https://my.own.company/dashboard/showuser?userid={thisuserid} (connects to my CRM)
Tabs : http://my.voip.provider/makecall?from={myagentnumber}&to={thisuserphone} (calls the client)
Tabs : http://my.sms.provider/sendsms?to={thisuserphone}&message=Hello%20{firstname}…please%20rate%20our%20agent… (send SMS to the client)
Really very powerfull, versatile, and a very big return for a limited investment.
