Multi contextual panels

Important
The opt-in/opt-out period for this feature ends on March 31, 2025. As of this date, all agents will use only the new multiple contextual panel experience. For more information, see Agent UI multiple contextual panels.

Introducing Genesys Cloud Social

Genesys introduces Genesys Cloud Social, which enables administrators to organize and route both public and private social media messages from customers on X and Facebook. This feature allows administrators to set up social escalation rules to direct these interactions to agents, and then agents can view and respond to these messages. Also, supervisors and managers can access listening analytics in the Social Listening Performance view, review individual posts in the Social Listening Post view, and can analyze conversational data across multiple performance views. This feature helps improve social media management, making it easier to track, route, and respond to customer communications across X and Facebook.

Work Automation List view OR queries

Administrators can now use an OR operator, in addition to the existing AND operator, when they query workitems in the Work Automation List view. Within a single worktype grouping, conditions can be connected via either AND or OR. This enhancement makes it easier to find workitems based on broad or specific criteria, such as tags, skills, service level agreements (SLAs), or custom attributes. For example, case managers can now quickly answer questions like:

  • How many cases have a specific skill?
  • How many cases are tagged within a particular region?
  • How many cases meet multiple criteria across different case types?
By default, conditions within a group use the OR operator to help supervisors, business administrators, and case managers refine their searches more effectively.
