Genesys Cloud enhanced the general usability of the export panel to increase customer engagement, retention, workspace adoption, and customer satisfaction. This feature enables administrators and supervisors to format export duration columns using seconds or H:M:S as one of the time values. Previously, administrators and supervisors could only use HH:MM:SS or milliseconds to format the duration columns.
Users can now select to receive push notifications on Collaborate for iOS regardless of their presence or status. This feature ensures that Collaborate users constantly receive notifications, instead of only when Collaborate is active on their device.
Genesys Cloud customers can now capture and interpret information using automated speech recognition (ASR) in transactional IVR applications. Because these applications demand multi-digit or numeric input, and in response to the increasing use of hands-free environments by callers, ASR support is crucial for improved customer experiences. By integrating ASR support and bot capabilities, along with the option to reuse customized and fine-tuned grammars from past implementations, customers gain the ability to develop a wider range of voice applications.
Genesys Cloud improved the flow size indicator in Architect to help flow authors keep better track of flow size. This improvement enhances the ability of flow authors to optimize their flow size during design time and ensures that flows do not reach the maximum size, for example, by modularizing their flows at an early design stage. The flow size indicator now displays the percentage that the flow utilizes of the maximum size that Architect allows and is visible at all times.
Administrators and contact center managers can now use the Audio Connector to stream conversation audio to third-party services and back. Audio Connector enables partners and customers to extend the open Genesys Cloud platform with their own voice-based services and meet bi-directional audio streaming needs such as serving voice bots and performing active voice biometrics.
