Genesys Cloud Open Messaging

Cognigy includes Genesys Cloud as an additional handover provider, allowing Cognigy users to connect with human agents from Genesys Cloud.

Open messaging facilitates integrations between Genesys Cloud and a third-party messaging service through a webhook.

The Genesys Cloud Open Messaging handover is based on Open Messaging APIs. Open messaging facilitates integrations between Genesys Cloud and a third-party messaging service through a webhook.

Setup

Prerequisites

• You need to have an account in Genesys Cloud.
• Activate Genesys Cloud Open Messaging on the Cognigy side:
• If you have a shared or dedicated SaaS installation, contact Cognigy technical support.
• If you have an on-premise installation, specify the following feature flags: FEATURE_ENABLE_GENESYS_CLOUD_OM="true", FEATURE_ENABLE_GENESYS_CLOUD_OM_WHITELIST="organisation1,organisation2", FEATURE_USE_GENESYS_BOT_CONNECTOR_ENDPOINT_WHITELIST="organisation1,organisation2". To enable the Genesys Cloud Open Messaging handover provider for all organizations in your installation, use * instead of a list of organizations.

Configure Genesys Cloud Open Messaging

Before starting the integration with Cognigy, create Genesys Cloud Open Messaging on the Genesys side.

Create a Platform

To create a platform config for Genesys Cloud Open Messaging, follow these steps:

1. Open the Genesys Cloud interface.
2. Go to Admin > Message > Platform Configs.
3. In the upper-right corner, click + Create Profile.
4. In the Create a configuration profile window, specify a unique platform config name and click Create.
5. In the left-side menu, select Platforms.
6. On the Platforms page, click + Create new Integration > Open Messaging.
7. On the Open Messaging page, fill in the following fields:
   • Name — enter a name for your integration. Copy and save this name. You need to specify this name in the Deployment name field on the Cognigy side.
   • Outbound Notification Webhook URL — enter https://endpoint-<your-environment>/handover/genesysCloudOM. For example, https://endpoint-app.cognigy.ai/handover/genesysCloudOM, where environment is app.cognigy.ai.
   • Outbound Notification Webhook Signature Secret Token — enter the secret into the X-Hub-Signature-256 header generation for webhook requests sent to the outbound notification webhook URL. For the secret, you can choose any arbitrary but sufficiently random string that you want. The external service should use the secret and signature to validate the message originating from Genesys Cloud. This validation is optional but recommended. For more information about validation, see Validate webhook notifications in the Genesys Cloud Developer Center. Copy and save this token for future usage on the Cognigy side. Note that if you did not copy and save this token at once, after saving the platform configuration, you will need to recreate this token.
8. Click Save.
9. From the Platform Config list, select the config that you created on the Platform Configs page.
10. From the Supported Content Profile list, select default.
11. Click Save.

Your Open Messaging platform will appear in the platform list.

Create a Queue

To create a Queue, follow these steps:

1. Open the Genesys Cloud interface.

In Handover to Agent Node, configure the following settings:

• Language — specify a language for the conversation. For example, english, spanish, german.
• Skills — define skills for the conversation. For example, escalation.
• Priority — set the priority for the conversation. For example, 1. If a priority is set, it triggers a flow in Genesys to prioritize or de-prioritize the conversation within the queue. Note that this functionality requires the appropriate flow to be set up in Genesys.
• Custom Attributes — add custom attributes in the Key: Value format, which allows you to include additional information. For example:

  {
      "section": "section A",
      "region": "Europe"
  }
  

To test connection, click Open Demo Web Chat.

AI Copilot Workspace

Within Genesys integration, you can use AI Copilot Workspace as an assistant for your human agents.

By default, two versions of the application are provided:

• Standalone
• Embedded

Standalone

AI Copilot will be available as a standalone application via the following link:

https://${AICopilotBaseUrl}/?userId=${userId}&sessionId=${sessionId}&URLToken=${URLToken}

Where:

• AICopilotBaseUrl — the base URL of AI Copilot. It represents the main web address where the AI Copilot service is hosted.
• sessionId — the Cognigy Session ID. A session is a period of interaction or communication between the human agent and the AI Copilot Workspace.
• userId — the Cognigy User ID. It helps AI Copilot associate the interaction with a specific user, allowing for tracking user-specific information.
• URLToken — the Endpoint token on the Cognigy side. To find this token, navigate to the Endpoint linked with AI Copilot. In the Config URL field, copy the token found after https://endpoint-trial.cognigy.ai. For example, in the URL https://endpoint-trial.cognigy.ai/f38791ae20d4961acf0e97d9f377c4fe3df92894e1eff1c7a774a8ed089a4590, the token would be f38791ae20d4961acf0e97d9f377c4fe3df92894e1eff1c7a774a8ed089a4590. Note that only authorized users can access or interact with the AI Copilot system through this URL.

For example:

https://ai-copilot-trial.cognigy.ai/?sessionId=session-17738489-e767-4d47-b669-cb0dd2e899e0&userId=52476cc5-710c-40db-8108-e99109f45d91&URLToken=a4d5c86c98f27730311591f28d194510e05ffed30ca148e3344970defd418e7d

Embedded

By default, you can use the embedded version of the AI Copilot workspace, but it will overlap part of the screen with the conversation. To place the workspace to the right of the chat with the conversation, follow these steps:

• Create a script
• Add the script to the Inbound Message flow
