My Sessions

Daily personal interaction with Nimbus services

The "My Sessions" tab provides information on both your current and past user sessions. In here you can do the following:

  • Interact with the “Sessions” area, which lists tasks and their result Accepted, Declined, Cancelled (by caller), RONA in order of occurrence.
  • Add Codes or descriptive Tags on session entries are marked with (ℹ)
  • Via Extension Service Settings (✅ shown when enabled):
    • Conversation Context during a call – either as embedded widget – or opened in separate tabs, when Nimbus "My Sessions" is opened in your browser.
    • Live Captioning and Transcription features for ongoing calls.
    • Caller Map Location and Session Details (if provided by an external CRM, User Directory)
    • Contact Search (within available Address Books, O365 Directory 

Preconditions and dependencies

✅ Service Owners may freely disable or enable features of “My Sessions” within the Service Settings > Extensions Tab. Due to this your personal view may vary from the screenshots shown below, and can also differ per service, if their settings for “My Sessions” were individualized.

💡"Session Details" contents in ongoing sessions will only be retrieved when you have the Nimbus Power Automate Connector configured to retrieve caller details from a user directory (e.g. CRM, O365, SharePoint List, etc.). When an incoming caller is recognized, only a PSTN/UPN will be shown and other fields are left blank. Refer to our List of Use Cases for various integration scenarios.

💡In a similar fashion, Contacts, Codes and Tags are also part of the (Admin) Configuration and may not show any options until configured by an Admin.

Details and Widgets

Note: Widgets might not be shown in your view unless enabled in your Extension Service Settings. See Preconditions above.

Your "My Sessions" view can greatly vary from the mockup above:

  • The "My Sessions" Tab will remain dormant when you are not part of any ongoing Nimbus task.
  •  You can always inspect previous sessions  by clicking on them. When a customer is calling any of your service teams, “My Sessions” will show new content.
  • Names of services you see in the list depend on whether you're a "user" (team member) of that service. Incoming tasks will be listed across all your services in order of their occurrence.
  • The Task type (Modality and Inbound or Outbound direction) each shown as entry in the "Sessions" widget.
  • Available caller context, e.g. details, are provided via available Address Books, your Tenant User Directory and the Microsoft Power Automate Connector. Refer to our List of Use Cases for various integration scenarios.
  • Your current User State such as RONA, After Call Work as well as a task status on any previously concluded task. See Areas and Widgets section below for details.
  • Nimbus Features shown in the Mockup screen are enabled via Extension Service Settings – e.g. additional widgets for Codes, Search, Google Maps and Conversation Context.

Session Details  
(Info Area)  


 
Caller Information

Will display additional details about the caller, based the following sources:

  • Your Tenant User Directory. 💡 Note that this only identifies internal users via UserID, not PSTN numbers.
  • Additional information retrieved via Microsoft Power Automate Connector, which can also read and update existing Address Books defined within Nimbus. 

 Learn more...

You can use the "GetContacts" Flow Action the Microsoft Power Automate Connector, which can retrieve Nimbus Address Books details.

AND/OR 

Use the Microsoft Power Automate Connector to connect to any external source (e.g. your own CRM or an Excel Sheet) and retrieve the caller details therein. 🔎 Refer to our List of Use Cases for various integration scenarios.

 
 

💡 If no external or internal match is found, a caller is shown as anonymous or without additional information. Nimbus will attempt to retrieve details with every call and does not permanently store or cache caller information due to data privacy reasons.

Google Maps Location
  • An available a google-maps location will be shown based on either the address or IP information of the caller. Depending on the available info this map will provide more specific or general details.

 

Portal Context
  • Context can consist of dynamically generated URLS, e.g. from caller and session details, e.g. for usage of a 3rd-party CRM or Ticketing system.
  • When running Nimbus in your browser, tabs with context should open automatically. When clicked the "Portal Context" link opens all configured Context tabs simultaneously.

✅ Preconditions:

  • Note that Portal Conversation Context needs to be configured and applied via Extension Service Settings in order to be visible in My Sessions. Tabs will be opened in the order specified.
  • To ensure that this feature works as intended, make sure that Microsoft Teams and Nimbus URLs are excempt from any pop-up blockers.  
     

🔍 Context can be greatly expanded by using the Microsoft Power Automate Connector. Read our related Use Case - Defining and using Conversation Context for a simple hands-on example and check out our List of Use Cases for more inspiration.

DATA DISPLAY LIMITATION (BY DESIGN)

By default, caller details are provided for ongoing calls only, as the info is retrieved live from data sources such as your CRM or other databases (e.g by using the Nimbus Power Automate Connector). 

⮑ In consequence, any historical entries in the "Interactions" list may show no caller information at all, as Nimbus does not by itself store customer-sensitive data in its own databases due to data compliance reasons.


GDPR To keep caller data on record for a certain retention period, you can enable (opt-in) the “Store Conversation Context Data”  option via Extension Service Settings. More infos can be found in the Nimbus Whitepapers in our Documents section.

  • Opening a CRM or user database which attempts to retrieve caller information based on incoming caller System Fields and Call Parameters.
  • Showing a ticketing system that automatically creates a new entry for each call.
  • Open a helpful website for item lookup, translations, search etc.

💡 This widget will only show contents during an ongoing interaction with a caller.

✅ Note that configured Conversation Context needs to be available to the respective service's Organization Unit and be applied in the Extension Service Settings in order to appear in this widget.

🔍 Context can be greatly expanded by using the Microsoft Power Automate Connector. Read our related Use Case - Defining and using Conversation Context for a simple hands-on example and check out our List of Use Cases for more inspiration.

Codes 
 

Pulldown Selector

Enterprise Routing - Allows you to select from a pre-defined list of Primary and Secondary Codes:

 

🤔 What are Codes?

  • Codes are defined via Extension Service Settings by any Service Owner. You can agree on and define the codes as you want within your team.
  • Primary / Secondary codes are just for your own distinguishment. These Codes are also separated in Power BI reporting. 

Note: Codes are required to be filled out before you can save an "Interaction". → This will remove the the "🔍" Icon from the Interaction entry and conclude the session result for Reporting.

✅ Codes might not be saved until Extension Service Settings > "Codes & Tags" feature is enabled. This setting also makes the Context area visible in the UI.

Tags

Free text entry field for Tags

Enterprise Routing - Allows you to add descriptive tags to this customer which can act as either reminder or notes for future conversations. 

  • Tags have no functional dependency in Nimbus so you can use them as you like.
  • Tag suggestions will be made as you type, based on existing tags stored from previous calls sessions.

🔍 Tags will be reflected in Power BI reporting templates, allowing you to use them as filter criteria.

Transcription Live Caption during calls, Transcripts of calls

Transcribes and displays voice during calls (Live Caption) and shows the transcript of made and transcribed call sessions (Transcription).

If you have ACW configured, a loading indicator shows the saving process of your session's transcription after after call is ended. Once the final transcript is available, it appears in the Transcription widget and you can use it for your after call work.

💡Note that Live Caption is only shown during ongoing calls. Transcripts can be displayed by clicking on a transcribed session.
