Support Talks Slides- Say Hi! to TAC Connect Bot
This event will have place on Thursday 19th, November 2020 at 9:30hrs PDT
Register today for this Support Talks event.
This session provides an introduction to Cisco’s TAC Connect Bot tool, a personal assistant that helps with basic case management tasks. It will focus on providing information about how you can interact with the bot in Support Case Manager and Webex Teams to get things done quickly, without having to call toll-free support numbers and wait in a queue. In addition, you can learn about the self-service features it provides; such as how to get the status of a case, bug, or RMA, initiate connection to an engineer, requeue, schedule dispatch, raise severity, escalate, and request case closure.
