Key Enhancements
Enhanced Call Recordings Restrictions
Call Recordings Restrictions allows managers to restrict users from calling specific area codes or countries.This enhancement introduces an updated experience for managers to configure these settings.
What It Will Do:
This enhancement gives managers an improved step-by-step experience when setting up and managing call restrictions.Historically users have only been able to restrict specific area codes.Now, managers may also restrict calls from specific countries.
Note: This feature will be released over-time, and will not be available for all customers on release. If you have questions, contact your account manager to get early access

Additional ‘Call Path Attendee’ options
When creating a rep queue for an inbound call path, managers may choose the type of attendees where inbound calls should be sent. What it will do: This enhancement gives managers much more flexibility when specifying which users to associated to a rep queue.Historically, a manager could only select individual users. However, they can now select entire manager groups or groups of users assigned to a specific role. Specifying an attendee type by group or role saves managers valuable time because they no longer need to edit rep queues to add/remove users.Instead, managers can simply assign a user as a manager or to a specific role and the rep queues which include at least one of these will automatically include the user.
These are the two new options available in the rep queue:
- Manager
- Role(This option appears as ‘Team’ for non-Salesforce clients)

API for Pausing & Resuming Call Recordings
When taking sensitive information over the phone such as a credit card, it’s critical that the numbers not be recorded during the conversation in order to remain PCI compliant.Access points like an API that can control the pausing and resuming of call recording make this possible.
What it will do:
This new feature gives clients the ability to automatically pause & resume call recordings from any 3rd party app that resides outside the Salesforce UI.
Now there are two ways to Pause & Resume of call recordings:
UseJavaScript within Salesforce for apps that run natively in Salesforce. Access our new API to integrate your 3rd party app or custom software withPowerDialer.
Note: Contact your account manager to get access to this API.You can also learn more about how to implement this API here: https://comms-integration.pdlmpapis.insidesales.com/apidoc/
Neural Insights Integration (Requires Package Update)

What it will do:
