Genesys Cloud fair use policy
Genesys Cloud implements a comprehensive fair use policy across multiple product features and license tiers, including Communicate, CX 1-4, and EX. The system allocates resources based on license types and billable users, with features such as BYOC Cloud (6,500 minutes per user), data storage (5GB to 42.5GB), and API calls (10,000 to 180,000). Voice transcription services support both Native and Extended versions, offering capabilities like word-level confidence scores and time stamps, with monthly allocations varying by license tier.
Data storage policies encompass policy-based call recordings, digital recordings, transcripts, and screen recordings, with specific items excluded from allocation counts. Basic routing/IVR features include DTMF functionality, language settings, queue transfers, and native ASR/TTS capabilities, with usage tracked through precise session timers.
API on-demand services provide 110,000 requests per billable agent monthly, excluding internal authentication operations and consumer-facing digital engagements. BYO SMS messaging allows 400-700 messages per user, with character limits and MMS considerations. Workitem allocations provide 1,800 items per user monthly, while Journey Management offers 20,000 events per user.
The system implements overage charges when exceeding allocations, with rates varying by currency and feature. Usage tracking is available through the Billing & Usage page, with specific invoice codes for each service. Recent updates include increased Journey Management event allocations and the addition of Agent Copilot Add-on fair use information.
All features maintain non-stackable allocations when overlapping between base licenses and add-ons, with data retention aligned with the Genesys Cloud Agreement duration. The pricing structure accommodates both Named and Concurrent license types, with specific add-on options for Digital, WEM, Agent Assist, and other specialized features.
About the Resource Center

About views and dashboards
Genesys Cloud delivers comprehensive contact center monitoring and performance analytics through customizable real-time and historical dashboards that enable supervisors and managers to track queue management, agent performance metrics, interaction tracking, and workforce optimization across multiple operational dimensions.
The platform provides specialized monitoring tools including agent status management, campaign analytics, digital channel performance (email, messaging), quality evaluation, skills assessment, virtual agent performance, and survey metrics analysis. Advanced analytics encompass flow performance tracking, milestone monitoring, journey mapping, topic analysis, intraday tracking, and predictive routing analytics. Dynamic views display historical and real-time metrics for contact centers, queues, agents, interactions, outbound campaigns, scheduled callbacks, and workforce management with customizable date ranges, filters, columns, and data export functionality including scheduled exports.
Key performance indicators such as service level, average speed to answer (ASA), and customer interaction volumes are monitored through real-time dashboards. Detailed performance views include agent summaries with interaction, queue, timeline, and wrap-up metrics, campaign performance, digital channel metrics, DNIS performance, queue activity, workitem performance, skills performance, and social listening analytics. Personal performance views enable agents to access their own metrics including My Performance, My Queues Activity, My Status, My Interactions, and My Evaluations.
Queue and performance management capabilities allow agents to be activated or deactivated in specific queues with manageable status changes, logout capabilities, and station disassociation. The platform supports limited PII masking in performance views and exports, API monitoring, bot performance tracking, data actions performance, knowledge management analytics, and an analytics workspace for comprehensive reporting.
Additional features include specialized dashboards for campaigns, quality evaluation, supervisor apps for iOS and Android platforms, knowledge performance, and agent assist performance. Users can customize views by date range, save configurations for quick access, download data for external analysis and sharing, and manage alerts through configurable alert rules. The platform supports intraday monitoring, outbound campaign management, predictive routing, and provides API usage tracking for integration purposes, with all views supporting customization and mobile accessibility.
Storage calculator
Genesys Cloud provides a storage calculator to estimate data storage usage and charges. The calculator considers call recordings, chat transcripts, email messages, and other interaction data but excludes historical execution data. It helps determine storage needs based on number of agents, average handle time, and interactions per agent per day. Specific features include estimating storage volume, calculating monthly storage costs based on pay-as-you-go pricing tiers, and planning data archival strategies to stay within allotted storage allocations. The calculator assists with capacity planning and cost management for Genesys Cloud's usage-based pricing model.
New users home
Genesys Cloud is a cloud contact center platform that provides features like call routing, IVR, call recording, and workforce management. New users should complete initial setup like activating their organization, assigning roles and licenses, configuring call flows, setting up groups and locations, inviting users, and configuring telephony. Administrators should activate the organization, assign roles and licenses, set up groups and locations, and invite users. Business users can complete their profile, download apps, and start collaborating. Contact center agents can join queues, view performance, and request assistance. Managers can create queues, schedules, call flows, and configure IVR routing. After initial setup, users can add more users and continue configuring features.
Disconnect reasons in the interaction’s detail view
Genesys Cloud provides disconnect reasons in the interaction's detail view to indicate why a call or interaction ended. The timeline shows the disconnect reason for each segment. Disconnect reasons describe whether the user, system, peer, transfer, timeout, or other cause disconnected the call or chat. Specific disconnect reasons include Client, Client - Session is inactive, Conference Transfer, Endpoint, Error, Forward Transfer, No Answer Transfer, Not Available Transfer, Other, Peer, Spam, System, Timeout, Transfer, Transfer_consult, Transport Failure, and Uncallable. These standardized disconnect reasons allow Genesys Cloud users to understand why interactions end.
About ports and services for your firewall
Genesys Cloud requires specific ports and services to be opened on your company firewall for its platform and features to function properly. Genesys Cloud is a 100% cloud-based contact center solution that relies on SIP trunking, WebRTC, and VoIP to connect your telephony. You must allow traffic from Genesys Cloud services, clients, apps, and on-premise hardware like SIP trunks and Edge devices.
