What Exactly Is Omnichannel for Customer Service in Dynamics 365?
To put it simply, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Omnichannel for Customer Service is an extension that enables real-time, contextual, and intelligent communication across multiple channels, all from one single unified interface. These channels in Dynamics 365 include:
- Live chat
- SMS
- Voice
- Web
- Social media
- Twitter (X)
- Microsoft Teams
This means customers can contact for support in different ways (channels) that are combined in a single stream (omnichannel). In this single stream (basically agent screen), the support agent can see:
- Customer Purchase
- History
- Query, provided solution and its outcome
- Scripts
- Knowledge base
But it’s not just about being present on every platform. It’s about being strategically present—wherever your customers are—and making them feel heard, understood, and valued.
Why Is It a Game-Changer for Customer Experience?
Let’s start its revolutionizing effects with an ice-breaker: Multichannel is not Omnichannel! This distinction is crucial, as many people purchase the wrong product or license while assuming or expecting the features of one to be the same as the other.
Multichannel just means “we’re available on many platforms,” while omnichannel means we’re connected across all those platforms. Every interaction your customer has—whether it’s a tweet, a support call, or a form submission—is stitched together into one seamless journey. So, even if the channel of communication changes, the context and useful customer information aren’t lost and can be accessible by the agent on their screen.
That’s the difference Dynamics 365 Omnichannel for Customer Service brings to the table.
Let’s break down how it revolutionizes customer experience in practical terms.
Single Unified Agent Desktop
Instead of juggling between tools, agents get a 360° view of every customer’s journey, right inside the Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution. Whether it’s a LinkedIn chat or an email complaint, it’s all in one timeline.
- No context-switching
- Real-time insights and past conversation logs
- Higher first-call resolution
Agents perform better when they see the full picture.
Channel Freedom, Customer Satisfaction
Thanks to omnichannel customer service software from Microsoft, customers can initiate or continue conversations from any platform without starting over.
- A customer starts a chat on the website
- Switches to email by evening
- Follows up next morning via WhatsApp
The agent picks up right where it left off. That’s real customer delight.
