Genesys Cloud - December 20, 2017

Communicate

User to User Information (UUI) support

Genesys Cloud now supports User to User Information (UUI), which allows information not required by the SIP or Media layers to be associated with a call. Administrators can statically set UUI on outbound calls at the trunk level, or dynamically read and set UUI using new actions in Architect and the script editor. For more information, see Enable the User to User Information settings, Set UUI Data action, and Manage script properties. This feature requires Edge and Media Tier version 1.0.0.6662 or later.

Phone provisioning from the cloud

Telephony administrators can now use the Genesys Cloud provisioning service to provision supported Genesys Cloud managed phones and manage firmware updates. This globally accessible, multitenanted cloud microservice is available to Genesys Cloud Voice customers and customers with premise Edge devices. For more information, see Use the Genesys Cloud provisioning service for phone configuration.
