It typically isn\u2019t practical to meet this demand through additional headcount. The question becomes how can I scale my customer service department, without adding labor costs? The answer lies in the phrase \u201cwork smarter, not harder\u201d. To achieve our new customer service goals, we can leverage Microsoft services like Microsoft Flow, LUIS.ai and Dynamics 365.<\/p>\n<p>A strategy we want employ is to better understand the types of issues our customers are having as soon as possible. If we can interpret their intent, we can ensure the correct people within our organization are aware of the issue, to provide a more timely outcome. But, to achieve this, we need some intelligent technology. Fortunately, we can take advantage of LUIS.ai which will understand the customer\u2019s intent so we can route this information correctly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scenario<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A power company, called Contoso Energy, would like to improve their customer service and wants to provide many channels for customers to solicit assistance. In addition to mobile, social and telephone conversations, they continue to receive customer support requests over email. Sifting through emails manually to log support cases inside of their ERP (Microsoft Dynamics 365) is a time consuming and low-value activity. Especially, when you consider the people that can help solve the customer&#8217;s issue, are not immediately informed of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>As a power company, there are many customer requests that can be made including reporting a power outage, billing queries, street light replacement and vegetation brushing to name a few. Some of these requests are higher priority than others so it is important we understand the user\u2019s intent when we log the support case. This allows us to prioritize their case correctly and ensure the right department can address high priority incidents asap!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To achieve their goals, Contoso Energy is going to use Microsoft Flow to automate the retrievals of emails that are received in the customer service inbox. Instead of an employee reading, and reacting, to these emails, Microsoft Flow will apply a filter on specific keywords. Next, the body of the email is passed into our LUIS connector. LUIS stands for Language Understanding Intelligent Service and uses machine learning to allow people to build applications that can receive user input in natural language and extract meaning from it. We will use LUIS to interpret the intent of the email that our customer has sent us so that we can log it appropriately within our Dynamics 365 case. If the customer concern is a high priority, such as a power outage, we want to let our Field Services know right away. This way, they can prioritize the resolution of the incident. Once we have created our case within Dynamics 365 and made the impacted department aware, we will acknowledge the customer\u2019s request by sending a follow-up email that includes their case number.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Architecture.png\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 408px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>LUIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before we work on our flow, we need to build our LUIS application. We can access the LUIS service from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luis.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.luis.ai<\/a>. LUIS has been covered in a previous Flow Blog <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/create-smarter-flows-using-azure-cognitive-services-luis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post<\/a>, so please refer to that post if you are new to creating LUIS applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Within LUIS, we are going to define four different Intents:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/INtents.png\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 267px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With our Intents defined, we need to go into each one and provide some utterances. Utterances are related statements that infer an action, in natural language, provided by a user. In our Power Outage Intent, we will describe some sentences that we expect to receive via email that imply there is a power outage. The more descriptions we provide, the more accurate our LUIS model will be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PowerOutageUtterences.png  \" style=\"width: 500px; height: 415px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once we have created our Intents and Utterances, we can then test and train our application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Test-your-application.png\" style=\"width: 700px; height: 253px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With our testing complete, we can publish our application to a Staging or Production Slot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Publish.png\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 272px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After our application has been published, we will have access to a starter key and an endpoint URL. We can use this endpoint to perform additional testing through a tool such as Postman or from a custom application. To call LUIS from flow, we need to copy the <strong style=\"font-size: 13.008px;\">Key String<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Keys.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 205px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Microsoft Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our flow will be triggered when a new email arrives in our customer support mailbox.

In this case we do not have a <strong>Desired Intent<\/strong>, so we can leave that blank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/3-LUIS.png\" style=\"width: 601px; height: 168px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We will use the <strong>Top Scoring Intent<\/strong> that LUIS identified throughout the rest of our flow, so we will create a variable called <strong>Intent<\/strong> where we can store this <strong>String <\/strong>value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/4-Intent.png\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 140px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With our interactions with LUIS complete, we can now focus on Dynamics 365. When we create a <strong>Case <\/strong>for our customer, we want to be able to link it to an <strong>Account<\/strong>. To do this, we will call the <strong>List records<\/strong> Dynamics 365 action and provide a <strong>Filter Query<\/strong> of <strong>emailaddress1 eq &#8216;From\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/5-ListRecords.png\" style=\"width: 550px; height: 273px;\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, we need to perform a validation to ensure that we found a record, prior to logging a Case. This validation occurs by using the <strong>length<\/strong> expression and passing in the <strong>body(&#8216;List_records&#8217;)?[&#8216;value&#8217;]<\/strong> from our <strong>List records<\/strong> response message. If we don\u2019t find a record, we can simply send an email escalation to a Customer Service group mailbox. If we do find that a record exists we will continue with our process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/6-Condition.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 186px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With a customer record found, we will now go ahead and create a <strong>Case<\/strong> within Dynamics 365. Within the <strong>Create a new record<\/strong> action we will pass in our LUIS-derived <strong>Intent <\/strong>as our <strong>Case Title<\/strong>, specify the <strong>Account <\/strong>(id) as the <strong>Customer <\/strong>and our inbound email <strong>Body<\/strong> as our <strong>Description<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/7-CreateCase.png\" style=\"width: 603px; height: 397px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now that we have a Case logged within Dynamics 365, we want to inform the respective groups if this is a high priority case. To determine this, we will pass our <strong>Intent<\/strong> into a <strong>Switch<\/strong> statement. There are two events that we are focused on: Power Outage and Billing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8-SwitchStatement.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 169px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Should the <strong>Intent<\/strong> be one of these types, we will post a message to the appropriate team\u2019s Microsoft Teams channel.
