Genesys previously announced that, during the weeks of May 3, 2025 and May 10, 2025, Genesys would migrate an additional /18 CIDR block of IP addresses used for Genesys Cloud public-facing media services. These changes are now in progress. These addresses supplement existing regions and cover growth in future regions. The new IP range is 136.245.64.0/18. Additionally, Genesys will expand the RTP port range and move the Force TURN IP addresses to the new Genesys CIDR block.
- On May 3, 2025, Genesys will update CIDR for the following Genesys Cloud regions: Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Mumbai, Paris, London, Ireland, Zurich, Frankfurt, UAE, Cape Town* & Jakarta*.
- On May 10, 2025, Genesys will update CIDR for the following Genesys Cloud regions: Cape Town*, Jakarta*, Tokyo, Osaka, Sydney, Canada, Sao Paulo, US East & US West.
Note: Cape Town and Jakarta require updates on both May 3, 2025, and May 10, 2025, to complete the transition.

Multi contextual panels
In the coming weeks, the agent multi contextual panel experience becomes Genesys’ new workspace experience. The need for an agent to opt in after they receive the new permission for multi contextual panel experience is being removed though Genesys will leave the legacy experience available for an extended period of time as administrators roll out permissions to all users. For more information, see Agent UI multiple contextual panels.
Call center admins can use multi contextual panels to improve agent efficiency by reducing the number of clicks. This feature allows agents to display multiple contextual panels simultaneously to more efficiently focus on customer conversations with full context visible at a glance.
Instagram support for external contacts identity resolution
Administrators can now enable identity resolution for Instagram direct messaging, allowing agents and admins to manage Instagram interactions the same way they do for other social channels. Instagram now appears in the External Contact management interface, the Agent’s Profile panel, and in the Customer Journey view. This support helps agents associate Instagram interactions with new and existing contacts and view past interactions.
Average Speed of Answer in Agent Performance views
Supervisors can now view the Average Speed of Answer (ASA) in Agent Performance views, including the summary and detail views for voice, messaging, and email. This update gives supervisors an additional metric to help evaluate how quickly agents respond to interactions, supporting a more complete view of agent performance. The addition of ASA to these views improves performance monitoring efficiency and provides consistency with how teams already track service responsiveness.
Synchronize ServiceNow cases with Genesys Cloud work items
Administrators can now synchronize ServiceNow cases with Genesys Cloud workitems. This update enables administrators to bring ServiceNow cases directly into Genesys Cloud as workitems for routing and orchestration. By doing so, agents receive the right work through a unified experience, and supervisors gain visibility into active and pending tasks in one place. Previously, customers managed ServiceNow cases separately from Genesys Cloud. This feature helps streamline operations by consolidating routing through Genesys Cloud, aligning demand forecasting in workforce management, and creating a single source of data for customer experience insights.
AI scoring support for consult transfers
Administrators can now use AI scoring for calls that include a consult transfer. This update helps supervisors see AI-generated scores even when a consult transfer is used to bridge a disclaimer or other content into the call. Previously, AI scoring did not apply to these types of calls. This improvement helps provide a complete view of agent interactions and supports more consistent use of AI to reduce manual evaluation effort.
