If you’re using Salesforce console in Salesforce Classic, add the Customer Insights
component by placing its Custom Console Component on the contact or case page layout. We
recommend placing the component in the left sidebar, stacked, with a 400 pixel width.
Your support agents see if the customer has opened a case, and which articles have been viewed in a site directly in the Service Console app.
Note- Customer Insights checks the following: assets, contracts, cases viewed, articles viewed, article votes, posts made, posts viewed, custom objects, orders, products, and tasks.
- Customer Insights data is stored in the NetworkUserHistoryRecent object. API access to the object is limited to users with the “Modify All Data” permission.
- Customer Insights isn’t available in sandbox environments.
- Articles viewed through the Case Deflection component aren’t listed on the Community 360 component that can be added to the contact layout.
