Genesys Cloud enables identity resolution configuration across multiple communication channels to automatically link customer interactions to existing contact records using a dedicated algorithm. The system requires specific role-based permissions for various functions, including viewing identity resolution settings, associating contacts to interactions, managing contact records, and accessing identity graph operations.
Configuration procedures vary by channel. For inbound calls, administrators enable identity resolution through the Identity Resolution menu by selecting the inbound call flow and toggling the feature on, with optional division assignment. Web messaging and user tracking deployments require selecting an active external source from the available list and activating the identity resolution toggle. Authenticated web messengers support optional automated contact merging alongside identity resolution activation. Email identity resolution is configured by selecting a domain and enabling the toggle for specific inboxes, while SMS identity resolution is activated by enabling the toggle for designated SMS numbers. Messaging platforms including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Open Messaging, Instagram, and Apple Messages support identity resolution through platform selection and toggle activation, with Open Messaging requiring external source selection. Voice interactions from queues can have identity resolution enabled by activating the toggle for specific queues. All channels support optional division assignment, and configuration changes are saved through the Save function.
The Identity Graph Operations functionality manages duplicate external contacts through automated and manual processes. The auto-merge feature identifies duplicate contact clusters during daily scans and can automatically merge them when enabled or flag them for review when disabled. The Scan History table displays the last 14 days of scan data, including scan dates, total clusters identified, merge successes, and merge failures. The auto-merge setting applies organization-wide across all divisions without division-level control, takes effect immediately for the next scheduled scan, and does not require manual triggering. Previously completed merges cannot be reverted by disabling the toggle. Scan results and cluster details can be retrieved programmatically via Genesys Cloud Preview APIs.
Manual division assignment for new external contacts is available when automatic assignment cannot be applied, with options enabled through either the Profile Panel in Interactions or the External Contacts and Organizations page. Both manual assignment settings are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by administrators. External sources must be valid and active when required; invalid sources trigger warning indicators in the interface. Contact management functionality is accessible through an "Add > Create Contact" workflow.
