Messenger session persistence

Administrators can now enable session persistence for Messenger across sub-domains within the same domain. This feature allows conversations and the ability to track customer journeys to continue as customers move between different sub-domains; for example, from sales.business.com to help.business.com, and prevents an interruption in the customer experience as they browse across a brand's website. Previously, sessions reset when customers navigated between sub-domains.

Knowledge workbench connectors for Salesforce and ServiceNow

Genesys Cloud introduces built-in knowledge base connectors for Salesforce and ServiceNow. This feature enables knowledge authors to add and configure third-party content and then surface that knowledge in bots, Agent Copilot, Messenger, and the knowledge portal.

Before the organization can add source content, administrators must first add the Salesforce or ServiceNow integration. Built-in connectors that sync existing content promotes knowledge base and article management.
