Contact Center

Topic spotting improvement

Topic spotting now includes improvements to ensure that the topic spotting process recognizes numbers as alphabetical characters. This update ensures that a topic is correctly detected in a phrase that contains numbers that end with punctuation, such as inquiring whether a model number is in stock with a question mark or expressing emphasis with an exclamation mark. For more information, see Work with a topic. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud CX 1 WEM Add-on II, Genesys Cloud CX 2 WEM Add-on I, or Genesys Cloud CX 3.

Extend after call work (ACW) timeout settings to digital channels

Administrators and contact center managers can now extend ACW timeout settings to email, message, and chat interactions. When administrators enable the Enforce Communication Level After Call Work (ACW) setting, the queue’s ACW timeout settings for Mandatory, Time-boxed; Mandatory, Time-boxed No Early Exit; and Agent Requested also apply to digital interactions. This feature enables supervisors to control and improve the agent experience. For more information, see Enable communication level after call work. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud CX 1, Genesys Cloud CX 2, or Genesys Cloud CX 3.

Agent requested after call work (ACW) option

Contact center managers and supervisors can now select a new Agent Requested after call work (ACW) option for queues. This feature enables agents to perform necessary after call work before they disconnect the interaction. When the interaction disconnects, agents who request after call work move to ACW status and experience the same process as Mandatory, Time-Boxed ACW. Agents that do not request ACW immediately move to an idle state and become available for the next interaction in the queue. For more information, see Configure after call work settings. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud CX 1, Genesys Cloud CX 2, or Genesys Cloud CX 3.

After call work (ACW) analytics for callbacks improvement

Genesys Cloud improved the accuracy of the after call work (ACW) duration reporting for callbacks in the Interactions view and the interaction’s detail view. This improvement ensures that the ACW segment reports an accurate, nonzero duration for the voice component of the callback interaction. For more information, see Enable communication level after call work. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud CX 1, Genesys Cloud CX 2, or Genesys Cloud CX 3.

Genesys natural language understanding (NLU) improvements

New bot flows automatically use the improved NLU engine, and flow authors can migrate existing bot flows when they create a new version or use the Save As option for these bot flows. For more information, see Genesys natural language understanding (NLU) engine FAQs, Natural Language Understanding menu and About Genesys Dialog Engine Bot Flows.
