  • 1.  Genesys Cloud CX Hourly Pricing Model with standalone phone

    Posted 09-07-2021 08:28
    Hi guys,
    I have a question about the pricing model based on Hourly Login.
    If I have this sample configuration:
    - Genesys Cloud CX 2 - Hourly pricing model
    - Standalone phone (for example, Audiocodes 400 series)
    - call forwarding to reach out the DID number of an agent

    The login time consider only the ones on Genesys Cloud workspace or also the inbound time spent when the agent pickup the call via standalone phone without log in Genesys Cloud workspace?

    Regards,
    Giuseppina

    Hi Giuseppina,

    The meter for Hourly only runs while the agent (user) is logged in to Genesys Cloud.

    When logged out the agent cannot receive any ACD calls. Calls to his personal DID number will go to voicemail, unless a call forward is active. This personal call forward can be set to a "PureCloud Communicate Stand-alone Phone" as in your example. Answering this phone has no impact on Hourly billing (because the agent is not logged in).

    Kind regards,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    thanks for your explanation.
    I have another 2 questions for you:
    - where I can find the pricing for PureCloud Communicate Stand-alone Phone license?
    - if a call forward is active and the agent pickup the call, this call is reported on Genesys cloud platform? I mean, is it visibile via Performance dashboards? in which one specifically?

    Thank so much for your help.

    Regards,
    Giuseppina

    Hi Giuseppina,

    The pricing question is best answered by your sales contact.

    A "Stand-alone Phone" is just a phone e.g. a physical phone on a table in a meeting room, so not associated to any person. It's "always logged in" for a fixed fee per month.

    For the scenario where someone on the PSTN --> calls the DID of the Agent --> who has call forward active to a Stand-alone Phone --> the Stand-alone phone is answered.

    In this case you will see basic information in the Performance-->Interactions view like:
    external caller, internal phone on which the call was answered, call start and end time, call duration.
    You don't know who picked up the phone, it could be anybody, it's just a phone on a table.


    Regards,
    Peter
