The Comm100's Agent Console is more powerful than you think. The Agent Console Extension allows you to add new custom tabs alongside the existing Info, Contact, Wrap-up, and other tabs, within the Live Chat and Ticketing & Messaging area of the Console.

On the Live Chat area, the custom tab extends the live chat capabilities by supplying agents with more information than is there by default. For example, you can provide product-related information to the customer by integrating your own knowledge base articles.

On the Ticketing & Messaging area, the custom tab extends the ticketing and messaging capabilities by supplying agents with additional information. For example, you can fetch the order details of your ticketing contact by integrating your Order Management System. 

Note: Agent Console Extension is available in the Enterprise edition of Live Chat and Ticketing & Messaging. You can add the extension for either Live Chat, Ticketing & Messaging, or both.

To add the custom tabs to your Agent Console, you need to upload the Agent Console Extension file from the Control Panel. To learn more about the Agent Console Extension file, see this article.
