Add an organization to your external contacts

AI-generated summary

Genesys Cloud enables users to add external organizations to their contact directory through the Directory > External Contacts > Organizations tab by entering the organization name and optional information. Users must have specific permissions including External Contacts > External Organization > Add, View, and Edit, plus External Contacts > settings > Edit. The process involves typing the organization name in the Add Organization form, selecting and associating a division (or leaving it unassigned), optionally applying custom fields based on organization type, and saving the organization. After creation, users can add contacts, manage relationships, and maintain notes associated with the organization. Only divisions accessible to the user appear in the division list; administrators should be contacted if a required division is unavailable.
