Beta/Early Access Program

Our Beta/Early Access Program gives some customers access to VCC enhancements that are still under development. Incorporating feedback from customers during the program allows us to continue improving these features, which ensures that every feature fulfills its purpose in a range of different environments. All customers using features in the Beta/Early Access Program must agree to participate in the feedback process.

If you are interested in gaining access to a feature in the Beta/Early Access Program, please contact your Customer Success Manager or Account Manager. Participation in this pilot program is at the discretion of Product Management and not guaranteed.

In Q4 '22 release, we changed how manual wrap is handled in single-interaction ContactPad and made it available in multi-interaction ContactPad. Instead of entering an unlimited manual wrap state, agents can manually extend their automatic wrap state an unlimited number of times. This extended wrap will expire like automatic wrap if the agent stops extending it. Customers who are interested in trialing and providing feedback have this feature enabled prior to a wider release.

Important Announcements

North America Infrastructure Refresh

As part of our continued technology life cycle, in order to provide our customers with a stable, secure, and scalable service over the coming months, Vonage will be updating and refreshing our infrastructure within the North America (NAM) region. We expect this to have no impact on the vast majority of customers; those with bespoke configurations will be contacted to manage any impact on a case by case basis.

...

These changes will introduce new public IP addresses. NAM customers that make use of an allowlist will need to update their allowed IPs as detailed in the Technical prerequisites before December 1, 2022.

Intended state

With Vonage’s existing intended state feature, an agent can set the state that the agent wants to be in after their current interaction ends. This gives agents a convenient way to manage their status after a call and avoids calls being delivered to agents who need to stop working. In the Q4 release we enabled this feature for all accounts.

Feature Retirement

Along with the exciting new functionality added to the product with every release, we are also working to retire older parts of the product. The removal of functionality within our product is completed in these stages:

...

For a full list of deprecated features, see Vonage Contact Center feature retirement.

User Access permission management - Deprecated

From the Q4 '22 release, User Admin has provided the ability to manage users’ full permissions. Therefore, user permission management in User Access will be deprecated.

Projected retirement date: Q1, 2023.

Motivate (Gamification) - Deprecated

Motivate will no longer be provided by Vonage as a product and will be deprecated. You can continue to purchase this through CloudApps or use our alternative Gamification product.

Projected retirement date: Q2, 2023.

Inspire (Wallboards) - Deprecated

Inspire will no longer be provided by Vonage as a product and will be deprecated. Our native dashboards provide you with the ability to have wallboard functionality. The data that Vonage Contact Center inserts into Salesforce that Inspire consumes will continue to be passed to Salesforce.

Projected retirement date: Q2, 2023.

Manual Wrap in Single Interaction ContactPad - Intent to deprecate

From the Q4 release, the ability to extend wrap is available. This wrap mechanism replaces the unlimited manual wrap feature in single-interaction ContactPad. Extended wrap is available in Early Access for customers who would like to enable it before manual wrap is deprecated.

Projected retirement date: Q1, 2023.
