Notification topic for outbound message delivery failures

Developers can now enable a new notification topic that triggers when outbound Web Messaging messages fail to reach users. This feature helps developers integrate with process automation, allowing them to automatically initiate Agentless Message APIs and push notifications through third-party providers. This feature benefits businesses that want to notify users through alternative channels when a message delivery fails. The notification topic helps companies react to delivery failures efficiently and reduces the likelihood of missed communications, thus improving overall customer engagement.

Customer-first callback option

Administrators can now configure a customer-first callback for queues in Genesys Cloud. This feature enables the platform to place a call to the customer first before connecting the interaction to an agent. When the user is ready to speak, the system places the call to an agent and maintains the interaction's original queue position. This enhancement reduces the time spent waiting for outbound calls to connect. Instead of agents making the outbound call and waiting for the user to answer, the platform handles the dialing process. Only live interactions route to agents, which improves agent performance and enhances the overall workflow.

Step-up authentication during web messaging sessions

Administrators can now enable agents and bots to request step-up authentication during ongoing web messaging sessions, which allows a conversation that begins without authentication to transition to an authenticated session when the customer signs in to the brand's website. This feature improves transaction security by helping to ensure that sensitive interactions occur within an authenticated context and benefits transactions that require higher levels of security. Step-up authentication provides flexibility in authentication management without interrupting the flow of the conversation. Agents or bots can now guide customers through the authentication process to complete important transactions, making interactions both secure and efficient.
