Note: This article applies to Genesys Cloud Embeddable Framework, Genesys Cloud for Chrome, Genesys Cloud for Firefox, Genesys Cloud for Microsoft Teams, Genesys Cloud for Salesforce, and Genesys Cloud for Zendesk.

You can place a connected interaction on hold. If you are already on a call, picking up an incoming call automatically places the currently connected call on hold.

Note: The timer in the interaction display continues to run while the interaction is held.
  1. When an interaction is alerting, click Hold.

    Both the call controls and the interaction view indicate the held state.

    Note: If you do not have access to call logs, Interaction Log does not appear on interactions.

  2. When you are ready to resume the interaction, click Hold again or click Pick Up.
