Vonage's New Agentforce Insights and Fraud Detection Revolutionizes Contact Center Operations

Vonage Unveils Innovative Agentforce Identity Insights and Fraud Detection Tool

In a significant step towards enhancing the efficiency of contact centers, Vonage has introduced its new Agentforce Identity Insights and Fraud Detection solution. This cutting-edge tool, powered by next-generation APIs, is designed to assist contact center agents in identifying potential fraud risks and verifying customer identities in real-time.

Fabricated with advanced AI capabilities, the Agentforce solution integrates seamlessly with Vonage's Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) framework and Salesforce workflows. It leverages Vonage Communications APIs and Network APIs, providing agents with actionable insights to elevate productivity while ensuring secure customer interactions. This initiative not only promotes a better customer experience but also safeguards sensitive information from potential fraud threats.

Enhancing Workflows and Security

The introduction of the Identity Insights and Fraud Detection APIs signifies a major leap in contact center operational workflows. Agents can now collaborate efficiently with AI to mitigate fraud across various scenarios, including recognizing numbers that may have recently undergone SIM swaps, validating mobile numbers prior to initiating calls or sending messages, and automatically confirming phone numbers during lead generation, ensuring high-quality leads.

As David Myron, Principal Analyst at Omdia, noted: “Customer experience and security are critical for businesses today. However, balancing the two can often present a challenge.” Vonage's new solution automates the verification process, rendering it invisible to customers and enabling organizations to combat fraud proactively while enhancing overall service quality.

Simplifying Customer Engagement

Organizations utilizing this solution will benefit from improved customer engagement by ensuring the validity of contact numbers. This allows businesses to prioritize interactions with authenticated accounts and utilize the most effective communication channels based on the type of number. The tool provides extensive phone intelligence, including number type, carrier information, validity, and SIM swap status which is instrumental in targeting customers for optimum communication efforts.

Potential risks can be flagged effortlessly, such as identifying numbers involved in recent or multiple SIM swaps, which is a major contributor to fraud. Moreover, the solution allows for seamless identity verification by cross-referencing caller IDs with CRM records, ensuring secure interactions without cumbersome processes that may hinder customer satisfaction.

Advantages of Programmable APIs

By embedding programmable APIs directly into their workflows, Vonage's Identity Insights feature significantly enhances agent productivity. The automation of manual verification tasks frees agents to focus on more complex interactions while providing them with critical data on valid contacts and prioritizing lead quality.

As Reggie Scales, President at Vonage, stated, “Fraud is a continual challenge for businesses navigating today’s digital landscape.” The combination of Network APIs within the Agentforce Identity Insights solution reinforces the importance of innovation in fraud prevention and detection technologies.

Empowering agents through scalable automation and enhanced network intelligence equips them to tackle fraud proactively while improving the overall customer service experience.

Availability and Future Perspectives

The Vonage Agentforce Identity Insights and Fraud Detection tool is now available through Salesforce AppExchange. For those interested in exploring its capabilities, demos are offered at industry events, including Dreamforce 2025, where Vonage representatives will be present at Booth #205.

In conclusion, Vonage’s latest offering stands to reshape contact center dynamics by intertwining customer service excellence with robust security measures, ensuring a future where businesses can focus on growth while safeguarding their operational integrity.
