Genesys Cloud enables users to call or email external contacts directly from the platform by accessing the External Contacts directory. Users can search for specific contacts or entire organizations, then select either the "Email" or "Call" option to initiate communication. When calling, Genesys Cloud calls on the user's behalf, with all available phone numbers (work, personal, and so on) displayed in a dialog box for selection. For email communication, users can copy email addresses from a dialog box containing all available contact email options and use them with their preferred email software. The platform also supports searching for and calling organizations to transfer existing calls. This functionality is designed for regular business communications, distinct from agents placing calls on behalf of queues.
