New API feature in Dynamics 365 Contact Center enhances agent availability tracking

Microsoft has introduced a new capability in Dynamics 365 Contact Center that allows developers to subscribe to presence status changes. This update provides real-time notifications when an agent's availability changes, enabling smoother coordination across systems.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Access and update presence status: Programmatically manage service representatives' availability across systems.

  • Avoid overbooking: Ensure agents aren’t assigned multiple tasks at once by keeping presence data in sync.

  • Cross-platform synchronization: Maintain consistent status updates across all connected platforms.

  • How it works: Retrieve or update a representative’s presence status with simple API calls.

  • Subscribe to presence changes: Get real-time updates when an agent’s status changes.
