Genesys Cloud's Transfer to ACD action provides comprehensive interaction routing capabilities across call, message, email, and bot flows using a FIFO algorithm with integrated language skills filtering. The system employs a priority ranking scale from -25,000,000 to 25,000,000, where each priority point delivers approximately one minute of queue positioning advantage, configurable through literal values or automated expressions for dynamic calculations.
Core routing functionality supports multiple transfer types including ACD queues, individual users, external numbers, groups, flows, and voicemail destinations. Queue assignment is mandatory, with optional override capabilities for custom in-queue call flow handling. The system integrates with predefined ACD skill sets and the Supported Languages container for default language configuration, supplemented by language detection functionality through the DetectLanguage function.
Configuration parameters encompass customizable queue selection, language skills management supporting up to 20 preferred agents with individual scoring, DTMF and speech recognition settings for call flow menus, and flexible success and failure path mapping. Pre-transfer and failed transfer audio can be configured using prompts, text-to-speech, or audio sequences. Speech recognition functionality allows optional association of words or phrases with menu options, with checkboxes enabling DTMF routing from any menu point and speech recognition term routing throughout the flow.
For call and bot flows, interaction priority assignment utilizes numerical values or variables and expressions for automated calculations. Preferred agent specification includes up to 20 agents with assigned scores influencing routing decisions. Failure outputs map errorType and errorMessage results, with configurable Success and Failure paths based on transfer outcomes.
In secure flows, Genesys Cloud automatically implements blind transfers instead of consultation VXML transfers for all transfer types, with automatic call disconnection upon errors and overridden failure path definitions. Email, chat, and message flows support similar configuration including priority assignment via star ratings or custom variables, preferred agent specification, and ACD skill set selection. All Transfer to ACD actions require meaningful name assignment that becomes the node identifier in the flow sequence. Priority ranking affects ACD assignment consideration but does not impact time-in-queue reporting metrics.
