To that end, Salesforce is adding a new Service Cloud feature that allows users to connect any phone service they use, including personal phones, to Service Cloud to record customer service calls. Previously, agents could only record calls if they were using Salesforce&#8217;s own phone service in Service Cloud, which is powered by AWS&#8217;s Amazon Connect. By recording the calls, agents can use Service Cloud&#8217;s artificial intelligence-powered analysis to bring up relevant details or instructions in real-time. Supervisors can also gather data from all the calls their agents conduct to figure out if there&#8217;s a common customer issue arising.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More on the news:<\/strong> Clara Shih, CEO of Salesforce Service Cloud, has written<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/customer-service-will-power-the-grand-reopening-of-society\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> a column<\/a> on Salesforce Newsroom focused on the digital transformation of customer service and the relaunch of Service Cloud. \u201cThe state of service has changed and many of the changes will be permanent,\u201d she writes.
