## Service Plan Context Updates

By default, Service Assistant grounds in the case record data using the fields and related objects (case comments, emails, and feed) you set in Service AI grounding. Service Assistant actively monitors your grounding configuration for the entire life cycle of the case and automatically detects case field, case comment, and case email updates. How the new record data is incorporated differs between dynamic and guidance plans.

- **Dynamic plans:** Service Assistant reviews all grounding sources in real time and regenerates the current plan step in real time when a case field or comment changes.
- **Guidance plans:** Service Assistant tracks the updated data as context and incorporates it the next time a service rep selects **Redraft Plan**.

Setup and enablement of this feature also differs between guidance and dynamic plans. For full details, see [Grounding with Case Record Data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.sp_record_data_case.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [Set Up Service Assistant for Case](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.sp_setup_case.htm&language=en_US&type=5).

When a case is created from a Messaging Session or a Voice Call, Service Assistant analyzes the transcripts of the records attached to a case to use as a grounding source. As a result, the case summary, summary steps, and drafted service plan include key details from the conversation.

Specifically, the case summary and summary steps state what occurred in the conversation and what resolution steps were completed. In addition, the drafted service plan starts the plan steps from where the conversation left off. Grounding with messaging and voice records is optional.

Only Messaging Session and Voice Call records are supported for grounding. The Messaging Session record must be set to ended and the voice call record must be set to Complete.

## Case Catch-Up & Insights

A capability of Service Assistant that generates a summary of case activity displayed as a card within the Service Assistant panel alongside the service plan. The card includes four sections in this order: Engagement Summary, Opening Sentiment, Account Summary, and Analytics.

Case Catch-Up & Insights works as a standalone capability within Service Assistant. Unlike other Service Assistant features, it doesn't require the general Service Assistant setup or agent creation. The only requirements are:

- Service Assistant is turned on from the Service Assistant Setup page.
- The Service Assistant Lightning web component is added to the case record page.

You turn on Case Catch-Up & Insights from the Case tab of the Service Assistant Setup page. After you turn it on, the page lists all available insights and you can choose which ones to activate. Certain insights require additional features, like Real-Time Insights, that you must setup.

## Prompt Templates

Two prompt templates are available that incorporate service plan data into case emails, feed posts, and case summaries: Draft Service Plan Email and Summarize Case for Service Assistant.

Each template requires activation and configuration to be used with Service Assistant. Use of the Draft Service Plan Email template is available in the email composer on the Case Feed tab. Use of the Summarize Case prompt template is available through Enhanced Case Summaries.

You can also create custom agent actions that invoke the prompt template so that service reps can quickly draft summaries and emails directly in Agent Chat.

## Quick Actions

Quick actions are an optional feature for guidance plans that surface automated workflows directly in plan steps. These actions appear as buttons within specific plan steps, so service reps complete tasks such as changing a case status or summarizing a record without leaving the Service Assistant component.

Quick actions are the only mechanism for surfacing automation directly in guidance plan steps. You can't surface agent actions in the plan steps. However, agent actions are accessible through Agent Chat. Using the chat, service reps explicitly request that Service Assistant perform an action. See [Agent Chat](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.sp_chat.htm&language=en_US).

A list of similar cases is displayed at the bottom of the component to provide service reps with historical context while working an active case.

Configuring this feature requires several setup steps in Data 360. You must create a search index and data retriever to ingest and index your historical case data. We walk you through a general configuration that uses the subject and description fields so that Service Assistant retrieves cases that are relevant to the active case the service rep is working. You can adjust our example configuration to include custom case fields and limit the search to a particular date range. You can also use an existing retriever if it has case data.

## Translation

Translation of dynamic service plans for case, messaging, or voice isn't supported. |

Real-Time Translations translates all text in the component from your company's preferred language into the service rep's preferred language in real time. All text is automatically translated when service reps:

- Open a new case and a case summary is drafted.
- Draft or redraft a service plan.
- Open a case that has a plan with either a case summary or a drafted service plan.

Service Assistant supports the same languages as real-time translations. See [Real-Time Translations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.messaging_translate_2.htm&language=en_US&type=5). This feature is supported only with the Agentforce for Service or Agentforce 1 add-on licenses, and service reps need the Service Plan Translation permission set. Customers with an Einstein for Service license who want to use translation can contact their account executive.
