Data tables allow you to store data locally and ensure that Architect can access it within an interaction.

Important: Data tables are intended for the use of configuration data. Data tables are not intended to contain personal information. Do not submit any information that could be used to identify a natural living person, or any other sensitive or confidential information.

You can use data tables to access data sets larger than allowed by a switch statement. This feature is also useful when combining Genesys Cloud with third-party integrations. Direct Genesys Cloud to look up the value returned from the CRM (customer relationship management) system to find the queue to which the interaction should transfer.

For example, you can map external data from a CRM system to a Genesys Cloud queue. After entering a flow, a caller enters an account number. The CRM system includes stored information that identifies the department within the organization that should be dealing with this customer and, when receiving the account number, returns the department name.

Notes:
  • The number of data tables allowed in a single organization is 200.
  • The number of data rows allowed in a single table is 5000.
  • The number of fields allowed in a single table is 50.
  • The number of characters allowed in a single reference key is 256.
  • For more information about limitations and upgradeable fields, see Limits in the Developer Center.
  • To request a higher limit of data rows or an increased number of data tables, contact Genesys Cloud Customer Care.
