Genesys Cloud messaging enables you to respond to customer interactions from various asynchronous messaging channels, including third-party messaging platforms, inbound SMS, Genesys Cloud web messaging, and open messaging. Messaging interactions look, feel, and operate like other Genesys Cloud ACD interaction types.
Message interactions allow contacts to have a text conversation with you. You and your contacts can see the text that each other enters. Asynchronous messaging means that contacts can return and resume a conversation without a break in the communication.
For more information, see About messaging. Genesys provides a unified agent experience for message interactions across all messaging channels. Message channel icons in the notification panel and top interactions bar allow you to identify the messaging channel you are working with.
Depending on organization and queue settings, you can receive multiple message interactions at the same time or message interactions while you handle other interactions. For more information about handling multiple types of interactions at the same time, see Manage multiple interactions.
