Overview
When Skype for Business is incorporated into CSM, Users can initiate Skype conversations with Customers, employees, or teams in their Skype network directly from a CSM record. When CSM is integrated with Skype, a Start Skype Conference Action displays in the Task Pane. Click the Action to initiate a conversation with an individual (Customer or User) or a team related to the Business Object.
How the mApp Solution Works
CSM provides the Skype functionality as a mApp Solution so that Users can easily incorporate Skype conversations into their existing CSM system. Download the mApp Solution from the Cherwell mApp Exchange. Use the Apply mApp wizard to apply the mApp Solution to your CSM system. The Apply mApp wizard generates a Blueprint, which can then be viewed and published to a test or Live system to commit the changes.
The mApp Solution includes the following items:
| Item Category | Item | Typical Merge Action |
|---|---|---|
| Business Object | Change Request, Configuration Item, Customer, Incident, ITPT Project, Release, Task | Don't Change |
| Variable Validation | Overwrite | |
| Image | Skype 16x16, Skype 32x32, Skype 498x48 | Overwrite |
| One-Step Action | Start Skype Conference | Overwrite |
