Predictive Engagement permissions and prerequisites
AI-generated summary
Genesys Cloud Predictive Engagement requires specific permissions and prerequisites to enable proactive customer engagement capabilities through role-based access controls. Users must have appropriate permissions assigned by administrators, including Predictive Engagement administrator and agent permissions configured through the Roles and Permissions interface. Prerequisites include organizational enablement of the Predictive Engagement feature, a valid Genesys Cloud CX license (CX 1-4), and deployment of either a Messenger snippet for web messaging or a Genesys Cloud widget for web chat on the website. Proactive web messaging and chat specifically require CX 2, CX 3, CX 4, or CX 1 with Digital Add-on II license.
Key functional permissions encompass Action Maps for creating and managing customer engagement workflows, Action Targets for viewing queue associations and routing behavior, Content Offers for uploading promotional images and defining customer actions, Events for monitoring customer website behavior such as searches and cart additions, and Outcomes for defining business goals with outcome prediction capabilities. The system includes Action Map Analytics reporting to measure engagement effectiveness and operates on consumption-based billing tied to event usage.
Additional permission-based access controls support Segments for grouping customers by shared characteristics, Settings and Snippets for managing Predictive Engagement configuration and domain setup, and Visit permissions for real-time tracking of active website visitors. The Visitor Activity report tracks website visitor behavior, while Web chat deployment permissions enable creation and management of widget deployments. Customer permissions allow creation of customer records and access to visit history details.
For agents and supervisors, Genesys Cloud provides granular routing permissions including queue management capabilities and Predictive Engagement-specific permissions for viewing external contacts, contact journeys, action maps, customer journey events, outcomes with scores, matched segments, real-time outcome predictions, and live session tracking information. Permission changes require several minutes to take effect after assignment. Organizations should contact their designated Customer Success Manager for feature enablement and consult the Roles and Permissions for comprehensive permission details
