It includes all forms of interaction that you have with your customers via emails, phone calls, social platforms, meetings (virtual or face-to-face interactions), or any other communication channels. Your customer service can record customer communications, their issues, how to fix them, and any relevant details they might need for future interactions with customers.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Channel management<\/strong> stands next to the interaction, where all the streamlined information gathered and scrutinized (during interaction management) is utilized to determine customers&#8217; preferred channels.
