API: GET /user-management/v1/users
Status: Deprecated
End-of-life Target Cutoff: 25.1
Replacement: POST /user-management/v2/users/search
Details: If you use GET /user-management/v1/users to get a list of users for a tenant, update your app or service to use the replacement API. Do so before the EoL target to avoid interruptions in your service. The replacement API provides better performance and scalability, pagination support, and simpler functionality. The deprecated API will continue to function as expected until the EoL cutoff.
API: GET V29,V30: /services/30.0/agents/{agentId}/agent-settings
Status: to-be replaced
End-of-life Target Cutoff: 2024-2
Replacement: GET API: V30 -/services/30.0/agents/{agentId}/agent-configuration
Details: We have recently updated the Agent Settings API by marking it as 'Internal' in our latest release due to the sensitivity of the information it encompasses. Despite this change, existing customers retain access to the API endpoints, and its functionality remains unaffected.
However, it's important to note that this update restricts usage for new customers. To accommodate this change and ensure continued functionality, we recommend utilizing the new agent-configuration API as needed.
Rest assured, the previous latest public version of the agent settings API is still accessible for reference and use until End-of-life.
End of Life: Summer 2023 Release

Legacy API Authentication

Legacy authentication methods were deprecated in 2022. With the Summer 2023 release, they are moving to End-of-Life status and will cease to function between the Summer and Fall 2023 releases. If you have not already updated your app's authentication, use the global authentication method. There is only one token endpoint with the global method, /auth/token. This endpoint facilitates:

  • user authentication through OpenID Connect.
  • other forms of authentication specified by OAuth2.0.

The endpoints in the following API groups were deprecated:

January 2025 DEVone Newsletter

Dear Technology Integration Partner (DEVone),

Welcome to 2025!

NICE held their 2025 Sales Kick-off in mid-January. It was very impressive to see the force of 1100+ NICE account executives, solution engineers, and NICE leadership coming together to align on a single customer experiences platform (NICE CXone Mpower) and an AI driven strategy.

During his first key-note presentation, Scott Russell (NICE CEO) communicated a very clear strategy for the future of NICE and talked about his priorities. Scott was very explicit on the value that the NICE ecosystem brings. According to Scott, in 2025 the NICE ecosystem will get bigger, better, and more powerful. Scott expressed how partners give NICE more reach, more access, and better insights in client needs.

Scott's message is very positive news for the DEVone ecosystem. The complementary solutions of the DEVone partners strengthen the overall NICE value proposition and together we help clients to achieve their business objectives faster.

To learn more about Scott's motivation to join NICE and his approach related to accelerated success, please read/listen here.

New Strategic DEVone partners

We are very pleased to announce that as part of the NICE 25.1 product release, three new strategic DEVone partners have been added to the NICE price book. We welcome Meltwater, Floatbot, and NovelVox to the strategic DEVone ecosystem.

Meltwater enhances NICE's CXone Mpower CCaaS platform by adding social sources for cases, including access to previously unavailable channels like TikTok. This integration not only enables listening to social channels but also provides advanced filtering options based on keywords, sentiment, actionability, and other criteria. These features allow organizations to send only the most relevant cases to their agents, ensuring a more focused and efficient customer experience.

Meltwater Logo

Floatbot offers a suite of AI-powered solutions to streamline customer interactions and boost efficiency. The Voice AI Agent manages inbound and outbound calls, including payment reminders, while the Chat AI Agent automates communication across digital channels like SMS and WhatsApp. Additionally, the AI Agent Assist provides real-time support to human agents with features such as AutoQA, call summarization, analytics, and relevant suggestions, enhancing productivity during customer and sales interactions.

Floatbot Logo

NovelVox Agent Accelerator is an interactive desktop that gives agents a 360-degree view of customer information on a single screen before answering calls. It integrates seamlessly with NICE CXone Mpower, unifying data from multiple systems to enable proactive and efficient query resolution. With customization tools and an extensive integration library, it improves Customer Satisfaction, reduces Handling Time, and enhances Net Promoter Scores.

NICE CXone Mpower Branding

NICE is excited to announce the launch of NICE CXone Mpower, the platform that brings together all channels, data, and media, as well as Enlighten AI models and services to orchestrate workflows, agents, and knowledge. With this launch, we want to provide updated branding guidelines to ensure our DEVone partners are able to update their published solution on the NICE CXexchange. Please see the below updated branding guidelines:

  • "CXone” is now "NICE CXone Mpower” and the “CXone Mpower” logo will be carried on all assets.
  • When referencing the platform, use “NICE CXone Mpower” or “CXone Mpower”, do not shorten to “CXone” or “Mpower” alone. Always capitalize the “M” in “Mpower” whether it’s a title of written in text body.
  • Name the platform the first time you mention anything on the platform. From there, just use the name. For example, "Studio", or any of the Hubs.
  • Do use “CXone Mpower {product}” the first time on products carrying the CXone Mpower prefix, and shorten any following references to “{product}”. For example, “CXone Mpower Quality Management”, and then “Quality Management thereafter.
  • Enlighten is the AI engine (or ‘brain’) of our platform, however, we have dropped “Enlighten” as a brand prefix to product names (when attached.) Going forward, do brand them as “CXone Mpower”. For example, “Enlighten Actions” becomes “CXone Mpower Enlighten Actions”, which can be shortened to “Actions”.
  • It is appropriate to use “NICE” when talking about NICE.

DEVone Technology Corner

As we start the new year, let’s look at a few highlights from 2024 and also look ahead at what’s upcoming in 2025.

Looking back at 2024:

  • CXone Agent SDK
    We released the SDK used to build our new flagship agent client, CXone Agent. This SDK lets you utilize the CXone Agent functionality for your own applications.
  • Authentication Getting Started Guide
    The new guide helps walk developers through the process of planning the technical side of an integration and setting up API authentication.

Looking forward to 2025:

  • DEVone Branded AAI Integrations
    To integrate a third-party solution into the NICE platform, you must use our custom endpoint frameworks. Currently, these do not offer any branding. With the upcoming DEVone branding update, you will be able to add branded templates for your integration. This will let you create a unique and branded experience for users.
  • New Partner Billing API
    A new partner billing API will simplify the entire billing process. Currently, billing must run through the legacy CXone platform. The new API will allow you to use your existing CXone User Hub sandbox for billing. As we get closer to launch, we’ll provide more information on transitioning to this new API.

The target release date is not finalized for the above enhancements, so stay tuned for future information.
