Similar to an instant message, SMS text, or chat room experience, chat interactions enable a customer to begin a text conversation with you. Both you and your customer can see the text that the other party enters. Depending on organization and queue settings, you can receive multiple chats at the same time or chats while handling other interactions. For more information about handling multiple types of interactions at the same time, see Manage multiple interactions.
Genesys Cloud uses automatic call distribution (ACD) to route chat interactions to you. Genesys Cloud routes chats based on a queue’s evaluation and routing methods. For example, Genesys Cloud could route a chat to you based on several criteria; for example:
- You speak the same language as the customer.
- You have a particular skill.
- You are the next available agent.
