Genesys SMS
The Genesys platform enables you to set up contact center software and customer experience (CX) technologies for your business. Kaleyra Genesys SMS connector adds SMS capabilities to your Genesys solution so that your customer can initiate a conversation over the SMS channel.
Additionally, using the Kaleyra connector, you can determine when a message request is received in Genesys. This routing is based on the defined flow associated with your integration ID. If required, multiple conditions can be set within the flow, to determine whether the message is sent to a bot flow or a queue. If the request is routed to a queue, the message is then forwarded to an available contact center agent.
You can view all the SMS logs, and you can request to download the SMS reports from your Kaleyra account.
The contact center admin can view the history and conversation from the Genesys platform.
