A trigger is a method within Genesys Cloud that allows customers to configure a response to specific events that occur within Genesys Cloud, such as those in the Operational Console. For more information about the requirements to create and configure triggers, see Requirements for triggers.

With triggers, users can:

• Send an email to a user when a specific operational event occurs. For more information, refer to this example.
• Use one or more data actions to retrieve relevant information from an external data store.
• Use a data action to invoke the agentless SMS endpoint to send an SMS.

To receive operational events using the Amazon EventBridge integration, on the Integration tab, subscribe to v2.operations.events.{id}.

• For more information about how to set up, install, configure, and use Amazon EventBridge, see the articles in About the Amazon EventBridge integration.
• For other technical details and to view other available events, see Amazon EventBridge integration.

After you receive operational events, you can access the Event Catalog in the Genesys Cloud Developer Center for recommendations on how to get started, read about additional context for events, and review associated diagnosis and troubleshooting steps.

1. Open the Event Catalog.
2. To open the documentation for an event, either click the event name on the left navigation pane or scroll down on the Event Catalog and click an EventID.
3. Read through the documentation for the event, proceed through the recommended diagnosis steps, and apply the troubleshooting steps as needed.
4. Follow the directions that indicate the best points to evaluate if the event scenario resolves and how to proceed if the scenario does not resolve.

Some events are voluminous in nature, or a single event does not always indicate an issue. For these events, check the suggested configuration steps for alerting or thresholding available in the Event Catalog. As you review the events to subscribe to, take a moment to review their recommended configuration settings.
