Communicate

Geo-Lookup TURN for WebRTC implementations

Contact center

Download individual non-voice interaction recordings

Customers in regions where non-voice interactions are mandatory can share the downloaded recordings with clients and regulatory authorities. For more information, see Download non-voice interaction recordings. 

View agent workforce management schedules on iOS devices

Agents can now view their workforce management schedules, and submit and view time off requests on iOS devices, in addition to Android devices. Future releases will include shift trading and push notifications. For more information, see Mobile apps for workforce management schedules, FAQs: Genesys Tempo™ for iOS, and About workforce management for agents. 

Sync workforce management schedules to external calendars with QR codes

Agents can now use QR codes to subscribe to workforce management schedules on their mobile devices. This feature improves an agent’s ability to quickly set up and synchronize their schedule information on external calendars.

Pass data between Genesys Cloud and Google Dialogflow

Enhancements to the Architect Call Dialogflow Bot action enable administrators and contact center managers to pass personalization data to Google Dialogflow from Architect and then return data to the Architect flow. These improvements eliminate the task of duplicating and making available data that is already available in Architect. For more information, see Call Dialogflow Bot action.

Long code support for outbound SMS campaigns

Outbound administrators can now use long codes to send SMS messages for outbound campaigns outside North America. For more information, see Create a messaging campaign and Regulations for long codes in outbound messaging campaigns.
