Manage event attribute filters
You can include or exclude attributes, so that Genesys Cloud counts only events with your specific attributes in your journey.
What is an event attribute?
An event attribute is the metadata related to an event. This data describes the nature of the event, and gives further context. Genesys Cloud groups event attributes into a set of pre-defined categories, based on the information that they hold. You can use event attributes to filter events in a journey visualization.
Set attribute filters for an event
- Click More in the upper right corner of the event and select Add filter. Genesys Cloud opens the attributes filter editor.
- Set whether you want to exclude or include the filters.
- In the Attribute drop-down, select the attribute. You can also search for an exact value in the search field.
- Applied filters at the top of the pane list your selected filters. To remove a filter from Applied filters, click the x next to its name, or click Clear filters to remove every filter.
- When you finish attribute selection, click Apply filters.
Manage event connectors
Connectors establish the relationships between the events of the journey.
- To create a connection, click More in the upper right corner of the event and then select Add connection. A dotted line indicates the direction of the new connector. To finish the visual display, attach the connector to your preferred event.
- To edit a connection, click an established connection. In the Connector settings pane, you can determine the time constraints for the connection.
- You can set a secondary join for the connection. By default, Genesys Cloud joins every event based on the Customer. You can also set a secondary join on Conversation. For more information about a sample use case, see Use case for a simple journey.
Note: Agent is only available as a secondary join when at least one of the connected events is agent-related; for example, Agent Start or Agent End. - Click Save.
- If you changed a connection, an icon on the connection line indicates the change.
- You can set a secondary join for the connection. By default, Genesys Cloud joins every event based on the Customer. You can also set a secondary join on Conversation. For more information about a sample use case, see Use case for a simple journey.
Calculate events
